Skip the big resort chains — these 8 shophouse conversions on Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Heeren Street), Jonker Walk and the Melaka riverside put you inside genuine 18th- and 19th-century townhouses, from a 300-year-old Dutch warehouse to a Peranakan mansion with original airwells.
8 Best Heritage & Boutique Hotels in George Town, Penang (2026) — Verified Rates and Direct-Book Deals
