About Seven Terraces
Nestled in the heart of Georgetown, fully surrounded by UNESCO World Heritage sites, lies the stunning boutique hotel Seven Terraces. This beautifully restored complex of seven interconnected terrace houses, originally built in the late 19th century for wealthy Chinese merchants, has now been transformed into an elegant accommodation that reflects the rich heritage of its surroundings.
Each suite at Seven Terraces is a work of art, with decor that combines the opulent style of the Straits-Chinese culture with contemporary elegance. Antique furniture and intricate wood carvings are paired with modern amenities, ensuring a stay that is both comfortable and visually stunning. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can enjoy the serene atmosphere of the courtyard garden or relax in the tranquil oasis by the elegant pool.
The architecture of these shophouses is typical of most terrace houses in Penang, featuring a covered walkway on the ground floor that provided protection from the heat and rain. Upon entering, the open courtyards immediately catch the eye—a characteristic element of Chinese architecture that facilitated natural ventilation. Today, all facilities are centered around these courtyards, while the magnificent suites are located on the first floor.
Step back in time and enjoy the grandeur of yesteryear, combined with the modern comforts of today.
