East Indies Mansion

East Indies Mansion (14 January 2015)


East Indies Mansion (GPS: 5.417001, 100.340646) is a boutique hotel along China Street in George Town, Penang. It is at 25 China Street, a double-storey Southern Chinese courtyard mansion. The building is purportedly the oldest extant structure along China Street, and is said to have been one of the properties belonging to Koh Lay Huan, the first Kapitan China of Penang, who arrived to meet Captain Francis Light the very next day after Light came to shore on Penang Island.

East Indies Mansion has since been converted to provide luxurious accommodation to visitors. There are seven rooms spread across this mansion.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
