Modern Blends with Heritage Design in Penang’s Macalister Mansion

Macalister Mansion Reception

Opened in November 2012, Macalister Mansion is the epitome of a boutique hotel with only 8 rooms, each with their own charm. Housed in a 100 year old colonial mansion, the building was renovated with the help of Singapore's Ministry of Design, preserving the building's heritage while adding ultra modern elements and quirky details.

Located in the middle of Penang's UNESCO World Heritage site of Georgetown, visitors can stop by for a meal or a drink with an option of two restaurants and a bar. The Dining Room offers French fine dining, while The Living is a space to relax or lounge by the pool. For a glass of fine wine or champagne, head to The Cellar.
