Known affectionately as the ‘E&O’ by generations of travellers, the Eastern & Oriental Hotel radiates a distinctive charm all its own. Throughout much of its storied history, its grand halls and corridors were frequented by affluent Western guests—adventurous voyagers, including renowned writers and aspiring intellectuals arriving by steamship to explore the allure of the exotic East. Today, this treasured landmark at the heart of George Town continues to embody the timeless grandeur of the British colonial era, standing as a proud symbol of a unique moment in history and place. At the E&O, the true pleasures of life remain forever in vogue. For over 138 years, the hotel has graciously welcomed guests with enduring elegance, a legacy further enriched by the reopening of the Heritage Wing, which now sets a new benchmark for classic hospitality excellence.
