It was like we are in the midst to turning back time with the Victorian style mansion that will be hosting us for our night stay.

Macalister Mansion – a five-star boutique hotel, with an illustrious fine-dining restaurant, cafe, a cozy wine lounge and cigar den which shout out the best money can buy – is a subtle tribute to Penang’s rich colonial past.
Resembling a Colonial mansion, the extensively-re-purposed mansion is the first Malaysian member of the Design Hotel and was named after Colonel Norman Macalister, British Governor of Penang which governs the Pearl Of The Orient (Penang) from 1808 to 1810.
