Established in 1885 by the legendary Sarkies Brothers—the visionary hoteliers behind Singapore’s Raffles Hotel—the Eastern & Oriental Hotel stands as an iconic monument to timeless luxury, boasting classic British colonial-era architecture and breathtaking seafront views along the Andaman Sea. Affectionately known as the "Grande Dame of George Town," this prestigious all-suite property is situated at the intersection of Farquhar Street and Penang Road, placing it directly within George Town's vibrant UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel seamlessly bridges history and modernity, dividing its exceptional accommodations between the historic Heritage Wing and the contemporary, tower-style Victory Annexe. Beyond its storied suites, the E&O offers world-class amenities, including local and international buffets at Sarkies, a renowned three-tiered English afternoon tea at the Palm Court, and the classic ambiance of the Farquhar Bar, all complemented by a commitment to holistic wellness at Malaysia’s very first exclusive Spa L'Occitane en Provence.
