Heritage Staycation Experience At Modern Hotel Georgetown, Penang
January 08, 2021 Dear Readers,
Residing In A Classy Heritage Building While Staying Modern In An Instagram-Worthy Hotel With Classy Black And White Interiors Within The Georgetown UNESCO Heritage Site

Modern Hotel Penang On The Heritage Building Est. In 1920

Once again, I made another awesome trip to Penang one week before Christmas just to avoid the crowds knowing that local tourists will start to visit and plan for their year end trip over the last week of the year. Indeed, this is the perfect plan because week after my trip, my friends also making their staycation plan to stay at this hotel but it was fully booked. So, make sure you made an early reservation to avoid disappointment since this hotel started to gain it fame now.

Check-In Procedure
I was really amazed when I first arrived here looking at this 100 years old hotel building and totally blown away the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby. The design was so classic with its black tiled-wall and white paint, a totally black and white concept. The first thing to do was to scanned our MySejahtera and during our check-in, there is only one staff on-duty. He briefed us on the hotel rules and regulation and request us to filled up some necessary check-in documents. A total of RM150 deposit was collected and will be refund during check-out.
