Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Colonial hotel in George Town, Malaysia.
The Eastern & Oriental Hotel spans along the waterfront with classical European design elements, featuring high ceilings, wide balconies, and ornate ironwork details.
Founded in 1885 by the Sarkies Brothers, the hotel underwent multiple expansions until 1929, leading to the establishment of sister properties in Singapore and Burma.
The property served as a gathering place for international merchants and traders during the British colonial era, connecting different business communities in Southeast Asia.
The hotel contains 232 suites across two sections, the Heritage Wing and Victory Annexe, offering sea views and modern amenities while maintaining colonial architectural features.
Writers Rudyard Kipling and Somerset Maugham stayed at this establishment, which later influenced their literary works about colonial Southeast Asia.
