Soori Penang 48 Lebuh Aceh, George Town, Pulau Pinang, 10300, Malaysia

In the heart of George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, Soori Heritage invites guests into a living narrative of Penang’s cultural and architectural legacy. Set beside Khoo Kongsi—one of Southeast Asia’s most revered clan temples—the hotel occupies a restored cluster of Straits Chinese shophouses, each steeped in the layered history of the island’s merchant past. The property is a personal expression by architect Soo K. Chan, founder of SCDA Architects, who spent his childhood within the temple compound and ancestral shophouses of the Khoo family. That personal heritage now informs every detail of the hotel, where original timber beams, shuttered windows, and tiled courtyards have been preserved and reinterpreted with quiet contemporary elegance. Suites are individually composed, some rising to a second story with private lounges or extra bedrooms, all blending craftsmanship and cultural memory with understated modern comfort. Every corner reflects the spirit of Penang—cosmopolitan, storied, and deeply human.
