This beautifully restored luxury boutique hotel is a wonderful retreat for those who seek privacy amongst an idyllic setting. Established in 1948, this delightful sanctuary was the first hotel on sandy Batu Ferringhi beach and today retains much of its old world charm, offering a wonderful hideaway to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It offers from cozy rooms to spacious suites, opening out onto sea front terraces, balconies or private courtyards. The granite chip paved path lead to a small entrance reception. Service is warm and personal and the sound of pouring water comes from the many fountains around.

Strategically located on Batu Ferringhi along the tourist belt of Penang, and within walking distance to restaurants, shopping outlets and Penang's famous 'Night Bazaar'. It is 17 km from Georgetown and 31 km from Penang International Airport. The War Museum, Khoo Kongsi and Pinang Peranakan Mansion are all about a half-hour drive away.

Dining here is traditional, yet features a contemporary twist boasting a tantalising blend of local and international fare, with a distinctive emphasis on Hainanese cuisine.
