Enjoy a slower pace of sightseeing — and perhaps even tap into your spirituality — at Wat Buppharam. If you're able to venture inside, why not pause for a few moments of quiet contemplation?

Located in Downtown George Town, this place of worship is well worth a look. But you'll find tons more to discover in the area. Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill, and Pinang Peranakan Mansion are within easy reach of Wat Buppharam.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (397 reviews)

I felt like I walked onto a movie set back in the 20’s. The hotel kept the room setting from the early 1900’s. It is beautiful and relaxing! Everything was excellent. The only down side was the pillows.
