Eastern and Oriental (E&O) Hotel has officially announced the re-opening of its Heritage Wing after an extensive refurbishment exercise which began in March 2019!Â
The refurbishment sees the heritage wing maintaining its historical grandeur and continued its legacy as the only seafront hotel in the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, while guests are able to enjoy greater experience in both hospitality and food segments.Â
Grand Ballroom
The new Grand Ballroom is truly an architectural masterpiece, with tall ceiling height and equipped with amber crystal chandeliers to reflect the Victorian style banquet hall that will leave you in ecstatic state upon seeing it.Â
New Restaurants in Eastern and Oriental Hotel
i) Farquhar's Bar
Farquhar's Bar mainly serves bar staples and classic cocktails with a view of Penang island's waterfront. We loved the leather sofa and stool that gave the bar a classic Gentleman design.Â
Looking closely, Farquhar's Bar offers the slight view of scenes in Kingsman the movie.Â
ii) Java Tree
You may savour Penang's finest Nyonya recipes and classic European cuisine in Java Tree. There is a selection of wines and beverages too.
iii) Palm Court
Palm Court is the F&B outlet in Eastern and Oriental Hotel that serves Penang's ethnic Asian favourites and casual Western staples, as well as E&O time-honoured quintessential three-tiered English Afternoon Tea.
For a more casual dining, you may opt to dine at the corridor.Â
The Classic Check-in Counter
The classic check-in counter at E&O Hotel Heritage Wing is a scene that many have a connection.
Do you recall the scene in the movie Crazy Rich Asian, where Eleanor (casted by Michelle Yeoh) and Felicity Young with their children enters a hotel dripping wet to check in only to find themselves suggested to go elsewhere as the hotel is fully booked?
Yes, this scene was shot here!Â
