Macalister Mansion, a Member of Design Hotels

Good experience and lovely, friendly staff. Only thing of note would be to ensure you are happy with the dates you pick before making a booking through trip as trying to modify the dates is very very time consuming and difficult. Better to book directly with the hotel itself for those unsure of the dates they pick. Otherwise a beautiful hotel

A very enjoyable experience with some of the best decor of any boutique hotel, not just in Asia. The staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and make us feel special. The hotel lacks decent gym facilities and the pool needs a mid-height front privacy wall to separate it from the street, but otherwise, it is fabulous. The food is good to very good and the international wine list is broad and well balanced in price and variety. And, the first drink on the house each evening helps settle you in for the evening after a hard day's trekking around Georgetown. Much to be liked. Recommended vs any cookie-cutter hotel for the same price.
