EASTERN & ORIENTAL HOTEL: THE SUITE
The E&O in George Town, Penang, has been on my classic hotel bucket list for a while. This hotel was opened in 1885 by the Sarkies Brothers, who also founded the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and the Strand Hotel in Yangon. The property consists of two different buildings - the Heritage Wing and the newer Victory Annexe - and of course I got a room in the older one. The suite they gave me has similar decor to those in the Raffles and the Strand, and a small terrace overlooking the Straits of Malacca.
