Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

This is definitely one of the most unique and memorable hotel experiences in Malaysia -- to sleep inside the walls of one of Asia's most carefully restored heritage homes, the huge and opulent mansion of 19th-century millionaire Cheong Fatt Tze. The lobby is a simple desk in the front hall; inside, the only facilities to speak of are a courtyard breakfast area, a library, and a TV room (guest rooms do not have TVs). Guest rooms are each distinctive in shape and decor, all with terra-cotta or teak floors, charming architectural detail, and antiques and replicas of the period. Double rooms have either twin beds or one king-size bed. All are air-conditioned and have private bathrooms, though they are pretty small and bare. The experience is described by the management as an "owner-hosted homestay," which is quite accurate.

Facilities:
Breakfast area w/tea and beverage service; TV room
