The Rice Miller (GPS: 5.41541, 100.34287) is a luxury hotel along Weld Quay, in George Town, Penang. At time of writing (January 2013), construction of the hotel is still in progress. The project is expected to include residential properties, a boutique hotel, commercial offices and a retail arcade. Facilities envisioned for the development include a private club, a spa, delicatessens, cafés and restaurants. An update in April 2015 shows that the hotel is nearing complex but with still loose ends to tie up.

The Rice Miller was named in memory of the late rice milling tycoon, Phuah Hin Leong, who was born Lim Choo Guan, as the developer, Asian Global Business, belongs to Phuah Hin Leong's descendants.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
