THE ARCHITECTURE

Jawi Peranakan Mansion (JPM), is the latest addition to George Town Heritage Hotels’ collection, also another creation of Chris Ong which consists of 8 mansion rooms and 6 family suites.

It was acquired in the year 2012 in a dilapidated state. He has artfully restored it to what it once was, a stately and elegant Anglo Indian mansion. It took three years to bring back to life to its original architectural elements of lime plaster walls, wood lattices, plantation shutters, cornices, architraves, Doric columns and, Adam’s wheel window arches which was a little part of JPM’s original design. The building is an eclectic mix of the 18th/19th century British architecture and Muslim design features from the Mughal times accentuated with Indian ethnic motifs.

THE INTERIOR

The 8 mansion rooms are outfitted with king size beds, cozy sitting areas, and daybeds demarcated by Muslim colored glass screens. The bed heads are decorated with embossed Mughal styled tiles. To complete the look, there are the roll top writing desks, Kelim rugs, hand block indigo printed textiles, lanterns, silk, and wool Kashmir throws, and brass Mughal mirrors.

Each of the 6 family mansion suites has a separate loft area with a 4-poster Mughal-inspired hardwood bed. There are separate toilets, showers, and a Victorian-style bathtub.

The textiles in the upholstery and bed linen are handpicked from where the original occupants came from the spice route.

THE PRECINCT

JPM is in Hutton Lane which is 50 meters away from the edge of George Town’s heritage zone. Hutton Lane was once known as the “Malay Millionaires Row” of George Town. It was named after Dr. James Hutton, one of the first doctors in Penang, who arrived in 1805. The term Jawi Peranakan referred to locally born, Malay-speaking Muslims of mixed South Asian and Malay ancestry. They were an elite group within the British Malayan community in mid-19th century Malaya.

We invite you to step back in time and experience the nostalgia of living in a Jawi Peranakan grand home.

From the minute we arrived it was heavenly. The place itself is sublime and you feel if you have been transported back in time to an era past. The hotel itself is a heritage building which has been lovingly restored to encompass modern amenities, filled with Asian art and antiques. We found every single member of staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and informative without being too intrusive. The room was more of a suite, double story which was no issue for us but may pose a problem for someone less nimble as the internal stairs are steep. Breakfast were served between daily and consisted of both European and local style food of a high standard. A wonderful afternoon tea served daily between 3-4pm with delicious traditional sweet jellies. We had a set menu at the hotel restaurant which is of an extremely high standard and very reasonably priced for the the high quality of the food. Although they serve food at the hotel the staff were more than happy to recommend other local eateries. One week was not enough in this hotel! It is situated in the heart of Georgetown among top restaurants and streets you can wonder in for days. Thank-you to all the staff for our wonderful stay.
