Sekeping Victoria

Sekeping Victoria, George Town, Penang (24 November 2012)


Sekeping Victoria brings the artsy feel of a Greenwich Village loft gallery to George Town, Penang. Located along Victoria Street, within the core zone of the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the boutique establishments of the "Sekeping" brand, which includes Sekeping Serendah, Sekeping Tenggiri and Sekeping Terasek (both in Bangsar), Sekeping Seapark (in Petaling Jaya), and Sekeping Kong Heng (in Ipoh).

Sekeping Housed in a turn of the 20th century shophouse, it provides space for private functions, art exhibitions, corporate events, product launches and the like. Sekeping Victoria also has accommodations in the form of 1-suite and 2-suite rooms which are let out on a per-night basis.

Accommodation at Sekeping Victoria (24 November 2012)


Furnishing at Sekeping Victoria is kept artfully spartan. There is a long table surrounded by wooden stools in the middle of the air well. On the far end near Weld Quay are the rooms. The upper floor has been taken out and redone. Louvre shutters are installed on a row of sliding doors as well as the windows.

Sekeping Victoria stands on reclaimed land that was part of the coast of George Town until the late 19th century, when the ground was stabilized and the shore extended outwards to create Victoria Street, named after the reigning British monarch of that period.

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.
