Seven Terraces, Penang – part 2

Continuing with our tour of the most interesting hotel on this Malaysian trip …  part 1 is here.

The hotel – Seven Terraces – has a second entrance which passes through the restaurant.

The hotel’s restaurant, Kebaya, serves classically prepared Straits Chinese style dishes. We did not have a chance to try it.

Bababar – the hotel’s lounge and bar – antique bar and drink cabinets

Piano at the Bababar.

The suites are all on the upper level and there are wooden stairs at either end of the courtyard.

A walkway circles the courtyard.

Old-style furniture in the living room, except flat-screen TV. Some of the smaller ceramic decorations on the sideboard are glued onto the surface. I guess it is too tempting for some.

They served us tea upon arrival.

The shower/toilet is remarkably installed in a converted veranda which runs the entire width of the suite. In addition to the handheld shower head, there is a rain-style shower head above. No bathtub.

The entire floor is beautifully tiled. This is the biggest shower we have ever had.

The converted space has windows with frosted glass on one side and traditional dark wood doors on the other side which lead into the living room.

The bedroom is upstairs in a loft-style space.

7terraces-23

The four poster bed occupies more than half of the floor space.

7terraces-25

Here’s another example of a nice mix of the traditional and modern.

Old carved wood decoration on top of the bed, framed embroidery (possibly an antique), and sleek LED bedside lamps.

7terraces-26

A balcony is provided where one can relax under the sun (or in the shade).

7terraces-29

The balcony overlooks the historical Anglican church of Georgetown.

The ambiance of Seven Terraces is truly unique.
