Great Food
Like other reviewers, we didn't actually stay here, we had a drink the bar which overlooks the ocean. We also had the afternoon tea which was very elegant and had the Saturday night buffet that was amazing (about $50 AUD) for a huge spread with seafood, Asian and Western Food hot and cold inlcuding an extensive carvery and about 30 different desserts with beer and wine included.

Great style
I didnt stay here this time, but walking around Georgetown the colonial architecture attracted me to a visit. It is a beautiful place with a nice fusion of colonial and Chinese architecture and art - situated right on the shore with a beautiful garden to enjoy a cup of tea.
Next time a stay in here should be planned, really nica!

Eastern and Oriental Hotel
Eastern & Oriental Hotel is also known as E&O and is one of the finest hotels in Penang.
It is located in a colonial style building and you can feel the history and tradition once you are inside.
Yet even though the hotel and rooms are clearly 5 star standard, the service is not. They mixed up our bills with another room, the breakfast buffet was not fully built up until 1 hour after the breakfast time, they constantly run out of plates during dinner buffet and the served wine could only be used for cooking at best.
At check out I have left my feedback, which staff just ignored. They never asked me whether I had a nice stay. E&O, please train your staff better.
Unique Quality: The rooms are just out of this world! They are spacious with antique furniture and all facilities you need. The breakfast and dinner buffet was also lovely in terms of food, but as mentioned not in terms of service and drinks.

Grand Dame of Penang
This is one of the oldest hotel in Penang built during the British Occupation. Though I have not stayed here before, I remembered visiting this hotel when I was a little girl sitting for a piano exam.
I remembered walking on wood paneled floor and looking at a huge four poster bed and experiencing a very English ambience.

Grand Dame Hotel of Penang
Placed in the same category as Singapore's Raffles, HK's Peninsular, Bangkok's Oriental, the E & O Hotel has a historical guest lists of Who's Who during the rule of the Imperial British Empire.
Had the opportunity to stay overnight. Liked the old hand operated elevator, the enormous bathroom and swam in the small swimming pool with a nice view of the hotel and the sea.
There is still the old world's charm during the heydays when the rubber plantation and tin min English managers would gather with their families for some civilized dining and clever conversation still exuding in the hotel.
The location of E&O is excellent in downtown George Town at the end of Upper Penang Road. If you can afford, why not stay here at least once. Another option is to have tea at one of the restaurants.

Reminiscence from the Colonial Period....
It is beautiful. One word. Want to feel how would have been like those days during colonial times, to be living in a posh and intricately designed mansion, whitewashed, and grand. This is it! Pretty pricey, may have dress codes to enter, it being one of the top hotels in Penang, but its all worth the stay and experience....Its overlooks azure, glistening in the sun sea view. Whats more....
The room itself is exquisite. A common hotel it is, but with extra fine touches to tickle your senses, and refresh a bored mind...Its truly welcoming, inviting, and so romantic perfect for a romantic night out.
The famous writer, Rudyard Kipling has stayed here and yes, there's a suite dedicate dto him, The best part, if you are vying to be a writer yourself, maybe it pays to pay to stay in it and be inspired.
There are also suites fit for the King. Believe me, i have seen the suite and my jaw did drop to the floor. Need i say more...
The serve good food too. They have a bakery with mouth-watering tiny winy delights. Local and International cuisines are served by equally efficient crew.
E & O, an indulgence, everyone deserves
Unique Quality: Its located near historical places, musuem and shopping centres. All between walking distance. You need night life, there is a stretch of clubs just across the road. Its always lively. Oh ya, as you enter you will be greeted with never tired smiles....

Step back in time
We loved our stay here at the E&O. It was like being transported back in time. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were made to feel very welcome. The hotel is like an Oasis in Georgetown, once you step into the foyer you feel as if you are in another world. It's definately worth staying there if the budget allows.

Old Time Charm
The suite I stayed at is spacious, nicely decorated with old fashion furniture together with modern day amenities in the bathroom. I enjoyed the stay and the hospitality of the staff and would definitely make a point to stay at it when I visit Penang again.
Unique Quality: This majestic hotel preserves a lot of old world charms from the colonial days. Upon entering the lobby, one cannot help being swept back to the colonial time by its ambiance and aura. The echo dome makes every amateur singer a pro.

Dream Hotel
We stayed at the E&O in February 2006. Some words of adivice : If you want to stay in a beach resort and are looking for sand and sun definitely don`t go here ! If you are fascinated about staying in a real Grand Hotel inmidst the unique city of Georgetown :THIS IS YOUR HOTEL ! The E&O is so different from most of the hotels we stayed on many trips worldwide.Mainly you expect a decent room, good service and location and a reasonable rate. Here everything is so different: The suites ( there are suites only ) are really big, perfect
interior design a la colonial style and opening the windows gives a grat seafront view.
We hired a trishaw right in front of the hotel for 2 1/2 hours ( 50 Ringitt / 12.5 € /15$ )and enjoyed the best sightseeing tour we ever had . Hop on and off in it´s real meaning.
The E&O is a hotel which is quite unique - Connaisseurs only .

Hi Pete,
To answer your question, I'm not sure if they do themed evenings in the restaurant.You could get in touch with Ms Pinky Saw , she's the Sales & Marketing Manager. You could refer to http://www.penanghotels.com.my/eastern-oriental-hotel/
