It`s a beautiful example, isn`t it? So natural and so true! I`ve heard it again, recently, and I thought it perfectly fits Dato Sean and Datin  Karen, the owners of a jewelry hotel shop which I found in Penang, or it suits Mr.Colin Seath, an architect in the famous Ministry of Design in Singapore, who brought it back to life and placed it among the most successful projects of hotel-designs. Remarkable, visionary characters who loved the tradition and the history of a unique place, deeply, who understood it, met it, celebrated it and left it to the future generations, by creating Macalister Mansion. A marvelous building, an absolutely charming mix of history, art, details of millennial design and oriental story…

Macalister Mansion ‘’Colored list’’:

    * A space where you can admire Penang`s cultural richness, endlessly, and which you can find at every corner: in the 8 rooms, in the saloon, in the dining room or in the cellar.

   * The entire colonial aspect of the house was preserved and “improved” by contemporary touches, which turn it into a practical and, as the same time, a single whole.

   * The details really make the difference here! Because the love of art can be seen in the impressive collections, as there are places specifically designed, which you can take refuge in and transpose in a world with an antique touch, because the owners, great lovers of art, themselves, left their marks upon the hotel.

   * The 8 rooms are different, typical of a boutique-hotel, but the characteristics are unique: wrought iron balcony, fabric collages, terrific mosaics, decorations and tartans which remind us of Macalister`s time(the British governor of Penang, whose name the mansion and the street bear.) and his family.

   * The two super duper restaurants, the pool with a mosaic, the bar, the cellar where you can enjoy an absolutely impressive collection of wines-about 300 brands or a fine champagne, make the ambiance of mythic beauty, complete.
