Eastern & Oriental, Penang
Famous as one of the most elegant examples of colonial architecture in Penang, the Eastern & Oriental, or E&O as it is universally known, is worth a visit from any tourist who is in town. How very nice, then, to be actually based there! It is these days an all-suites luxury hotel, successfully combining traditional elegance and quality dining with up-to-date pool and spa facilities. Every guest is allocated a butler - in practice, a named member of staff who can be called on for assistance and advice during your stay.
