With its mint green walls, carved wooden doors inlaid with gold and wrought-iron balconies, the Pinang Peranakan Mansion is a sight to behold. Venture into this replica of a 19th-century, upper-class home for an insider's look at the grandeur enjoyed by wealthy Straits Chinese in the past. The grand mansion houses more than 1,000 antiques and collectibles, and you will notice gorgeous Asian lacquer ware boxes and trays, Chinese prints, and antique European furniture as you stroll through the grand entrance hall. The luxurious dining hall recreates a sumptuous Chinese dinner with its teak furniture and exquisite European dinner service.
Formerly the residence of a prominent Chinese Straits immigrant who made his fortune in mining, the mansion was built towards the end of the 19th century using a fusion of tiles from England, intricate ironwork from Scotland, and decorative Chinese wooden panels.
Admire the elaborate cast-iron handrails as you walk up the staircase to the bedrooms, where numerous antiques are strewn about, as if the lady of the house had left them there and stepped out just for a moment. Take a peek into the bridal chamber, decked out with essentials for wealthy women like lavish silk bedclothes, opulent bracelets, hair pins and sandals. Family portraits hung on the walls in the hall tell a tale of the privileged dwellers of the mansion, while balconies offer a view over the street. Don't miss out the family temple included in the admission price.
For a better understanding of the objects on display and to learn about those who lived amongst all this affluence, join a guided tour given by insightful volunteers, offered twice daily.
Pinang Peranakan Mansion is located on Church Street, in Georgetown and can be accessed by the free Central Area Transit (CAT) shuttle bus, which stops at major attractions in the Georgetown district. Open daily except for Sundays and public holidays, the mansion charges an entry fee.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (259 reviews)
Areca Hotel was delightful, full of character, so much nicer than the high rise hotels we have been staying in so far on this trip. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, not only with a welcome drink, but an invitation to afternoon tea each afternoon of our stay. The room was small, but adequate and freshened every day inclcluding clean towels etc.

6.6/10 (211 reviews)
This property gives a great bang for your buck. The price is wonderful for a three bedroom two bath apartment with a pool, gym and other games like ping-pong and pool. Staff are helpful, friendly and responsive.
The apartments are comfortable and the AC is fantastic! You won't be hot in these apartments. The rooms were clean and included a washer and area for drying clothes. Cleaning service is available when requested. No cable television but they are connected to internet so you can watch whatever service you use such as Netflix, Prime Video or Youtube. The kitchen has basic items in it and a microwave. Water is available on another floor or for a small fee you can buy a water bottle for a provided dispenser.
Breakfast is available but not plentiful and not that great. But, free snacks are available any time.
The condition of equipment in the gym, pool table and ping pong table are poor and available bicycles. They are not maintained and some things are falling apart.
The building is old and the walls are not painted and kept nice. There seems to be no budget for maintenance. Windows in the apartments are old and don't seal well, letting in the heat from the outside.
Overall, however, this is a comfortable and friendly place to stay. It is a great value for the money.
