PEN Day 1 │ HUTTON Suites Hotel

We Are Checked In!

The hotels managed by Penang Hotel Collection (PHC) had quickly become one of our favourites. On our last visit, we stayed at Hutton Central Hotel and loved everything about it—from the furnishings to the location.

A Pleasant Surprise

This time, however, we needed a two bedroom unit since Brendan was with us. Hutton Central didn’t offer that, so upon arrival, we were informed that we had been moved to their sister property, Hutton Suites, just a short walk away.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Location wise, it was even better—just metres from Jalan Penang and within walking distance of all our favourite spots in Georgetown.

A Great Deal

We had always thought the rates here were a little high, so we felt lucky to secure a five night stay for RM1,396.30 (≈ USD313 / EUR313), which worked out to about RM280 per night (≈ USD63 / EUR63).

For what we got, it felt like great value.

Our Home in Penang

The apartment suited us perfectly. It was:

• Spacious and well laid out
• A proper two bedroom unit
• Equipped with a kitchenette and washer dryer

The bathroom was well stocked, the living room felt cosy, and our bedroom was comfortable. Brendan’s room was smaller but still adequate for his needs.

At that point, it became clear—Hutton Central (for two of us) and Hutton Suites (when Brendan joins) would likely become our regular stays whenever we visited Penang.

A Small Trade Off

Of course, no place was perfect.

At night, it could get a little noisy due to a bar downstairs with karaoke. But we chose to look at it differently—those slightly off key Canto pop renditions became our unexpected lullaby.

A Gentle Reminder

Before we end, just a quick note: Masks may now be optional outdoors, but they are still required indoors.

Settled and Ready

With that, we were all checked in and ready for the days ahead.

Penang always had a way of making us feel at home—and this stay was no different.

Stay tuned for what came next!
