The Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang

After an extensive refurbishment exercise which began in March 2019, the Eastern & Oriental Hotel officially announces the much-anticipated re-opening of it’s Heritage Wing. We got a special media sneak peek! 🙂

Key elements of the hotel such as the echo dome which has become part of the E & O Hotel’s identity is maintained during the upgrading works. Keeping to it’s historical grandeur, the newly refurbished Heritage Wing features suites in a brighter concept with more natural light while retaining the signature twin vanities and long bath. In addition, the Heritage Wing now provides a more personalized experience with pre-arrival services, in suite check-in and round-the-clock butler service.
