A beautiful 2½ storey heritage shophouse on Love Lane in George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site which has been painstakingly restored to its former glory. Presently a licensed boutique hotel which comes with a total built-up area of 4,200 sq. ft. comprising four individually decorated suites.
This listed property was largely built using timbre and furnished with teak furniture. With its therapeutic water features and cosy indoor courtyard, this little oasis in the heart of Georgetown, is the idyllic haven you seek.
All suites have timbre louvered windows which opens either out onto Love Lane or into our indoor courtyard. Selected suites also have a private terrace which looks over the indoor courtyard, which makes it an ideal spot to lounge in the privacy of your own suite.
The façade has been beautifully restored to reflect the Southern Chinese Eclectic style reminiscent of the buildings in the late 1800s to early 1900s. As you make your way through the main foyer, you’re greeted by the ornately carved panels of the 100 year-old refurbished timber screen doorway. Stepping through this doorway, you will find yourself in a little tranquil oasis surrounded by a potpourri of foliage of local and foreign origin which serves as the indoor courtyard garden café. The spacious indoor courtyard is covered by a retractable pergola which protects you from the elements, but allows sunlight to stream through and therefore makes it the ideal area to lounge as you listen to the soothing sounds of the linear pond.
Solar panels have been added in order to harvest the energy of the sun to heat the water used in the building. The linear pond in the indoor courtyard is not only a therapeutic water feature but also acts as a reservoir for harvesting rain water which is then treated and pumped through the building for the dedicated use in flushing of toilets and gardening. Passive daylighting systems run throughout the property to collect and reflect daylight for illuminating the interior. The centre pieces are the two internal air wells which allow light and cool air to pass through thereby acting as natural ventilation for the entire building.
This charming real estate is not merely a place for one to rest your head, but an architectural monument to sustainable thinking and to the hard fight in the preservation of one’s cultural and historical heritage.
There is an excellent range of shops, bars and restaurants on the street and streets connecting to it i.e. Muntri Street, Chulia Street and Stewart Lane.
Situated in the heart of George Town, one can discover the unique heritage of Penang through the architecture, festivities and food – which is ultimately a union of cultural elements from elsewhere in this Malay Archipelago, India and China and Europe.
