Legendary hotel dating from 1885 in the heart of George Town. The well-run property features atmospheric public areas, including a colonial coffee shop and an English-style bar with a long, dark wood counter and comfortable armchairs. There are 100 guest rooms located in the historic Heritage Wing and 132 Studio and Corner suites in the more modern Victory Annexe; all feature personal butlers. The Annexe offers a more contemporary décor and its own private lounge. Very good breakfast buffet; 1885 restaurant for high tea and dinner. Amenities include a spa, exercise suite, infinity pool — at the Victory Annexe, with views of the Andaman Sea — and seaside pool at the Heritage Wing. Cooking lessons available.

The strong sense of place and history in the atmospheric public areas; the very comfortable and spacious rooms; the excellent value for money.
The mediocre food aside from the lavish breakfast buffet.
Use the hotel’s second swimming pool at the Victory Annexe if you want afternoon sun, since the seaside pool at the Heritage Wing quickly falls into shadow.
Lowest Rate: Studio Suite, $200; Editor’s Choice: Straits Suite, $320.
