You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Downtown George Town. Gurney Drive is a good place to kick off here, but there are many other interesting attractions to visit. Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill, and Pinang Peranakan Mansion are not far from the waterside pathway and will top off your day nicely.

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.
