Bellevue, Penang HillBellevue, Penang Hill (5 March 2005)


Bellevue Penang Hill Hotel is the highest hotel in Penang, located at 830 meters above sea level at Halliburton's Hill, a mount within Penang Hill. It is a place to enjoy the old world charm of colonial Penang, enjoying scones, buttered toast, jam, half-boiled eggs, and sipping Darjeeling tea, a feeling that is duplicated at other hillstations in Malaysia, such as at Ye Olde Smokehouse in Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill.

The hotel was originally the private residence of William Halliburton, the first Sheriff of Prince of Wales Island under the British East India Company in the early 19th century. The hotel also runs an aviary showcasing a selection of birds.

Getting there

At time of writing (September 2008) the Penang Hill funicular train is again out of operation. Until the hill train is in operation again, the only two ways to reach Bellevue Hotel is by either jeep or by hiking. Coming from the jeep track, look for sign pointing to Bellvue Hotel upon arriving at the peak.

What to see and do

Bellevue Hotel is a place to relax and take things easy. The hotel is particularly pleasant in the early morning, as George Town awakens below. The lawn in front of the hotel offers a splendid view of the city.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
