Heritage Meets High Design in Malaysia

Set in George Town on the island of Penang, Soori Penang is the newest project from renowned architect Soo K. Chan’s Soori Collection. The sister property to Soori Bali (the Kardashians are fans,) Soori Penang blends the spirit of the old world with the contemporary vibe of the new one.

The luxe hideaway stands beside Khoo Kongsi, one of the most ornate and significant clan temples in George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

‍

Original features meet minimalist design in the cluster of lovingly restored buildings. Think timber beams, hand-laid tiles, soft and quiet luxury.

‍

Expect Oolong in a dedicated tea room, moody courtyards with sculptural fire pits and curated city journeys that dive deep into Penang’s food, art and heritage. Each suite also comes with a dedicated butler, because, yes, someone should unpack your suitcase while you head to the spa.
