RESERVATIONS@THEBLUEMANSION.COM.MY


14 LEITH STREET, 10200 PENANG, MALAYSIA


THE 18 SUITES ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND INDIVIDUALLY CONSERVED AND TASTEFULLY DECORATED TO THE PERIOD THEME, FROM TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY TO A RETRO ROOM CIRCA 1960s!


FROM RM 600 TO RM 1,200


The Blue Mansion’s 18 rooms are each individually themed and distinctively grouped into 6 categories – Han, Liang, Zhou, Jin, Tang and 50’s ROOM. The rooms are privately tucked within 2 airy tropical courtyards, lined neatly alongside the corridors that lead into each room.

This boutique hotel is furnished with 5 star in-room amenities the fashion of a neo-classical way of life, where guests may take pleasure in contemporary comfort and luxury within the heritage space. Individually decorated, from period furniture, precious heirlooms and antiques to plunge-pools, a stay at the mansion reflects the modern-life of the affluent nobleman Cheong Fatt Tze himself.

Cheong Fatt Tze: Profile of the Man
Cheong Fatt Tze's almost burdensome treasure trove of occupational hats - financier, tycoon, diplomat, politician, philanthropist and minister - not to mention his numerous, calling-card cramping unofficial monikers - 'Rockfeller of the East', 'J.P Morgan of China' and 'Last Mandarin & First Capitalist of China' - belie his decidedly unencumbered beginnings.
