OMG! This Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang is so imbued in history that we might accidently stumbled upon British Empire Aristocrats' belongings left behind such as Sir Stamford Raffles' jacket or Sir Winston Churchill's cigars! Thank You so much guys for the tour of this iconic hotel in Penang! Waiting for a RAF Supermarine Spitfire flying over to cap it off! ... p.s. Penang came from the Malay word for Pinang , which is a type of palm tree that grows around this Island ... 🌹☘
Ot husband is retiring at 64 next year September 2025 . We will be leaving the USA and we are going to slow travel for one year before deciding what country we want to live out rest of our lives. Malaysia is going to he our first stop plus visiting the surrounding countries etc. Watching this video is making us even more excited. Georgious hotel and great videos on Malaysia.
Congrats guys! You will love Malaysia, it’s very convenient and easy to travel around. Lovely people! We really enjoy coming here to relax, work, enjoy some food scenery and beaches. ❤️ it has so many offers! The hotel is a must haha! One of our best stays 😊
@ChaseandShelbs Thank you very much!! It has been a journey. We appreciate all the videos you post on Malaysia we love them all!! Keep up the great work you both are doing!!
Malaysia is among the best countries to live in for family and retirement. Peace, harmony and modesty. And the cost of living... OMG... So cheap and still enjoy the high living standard same as big cities all around the world. And you won't dissapointed with foods. This is the place we called "The Heaven Of Foods". You can eat anything you want. We have it here. Don't worry.
I love how relatable and informative all ur videos are. Lots of TH-camr always show the most presentable moments. While I can see the process you exploring the new place, no matter it is happenings or a bit usual moments.
Hello, Malaysia marching with its lofty glory, upwards, and land, whose sand, Mountains,plateaus, beaches, landscapes , we love its sand and plains we love♥️🇲🇾♥️
Malaysia is commonwealth country, so our law, education system, traffic system and everything follow UK. We really love British and European to visit our country. Both of you in E & O Hotel like back to 1955 British in south east Asia period.😀
No freaking way! My financé and I stayed at room 107 in August! 😂 Going back to the E&O for Christmas and New Year's Eve! Great video, as always! Much love from Germany 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this wonderful video. Hope that you guys have had a good, pleasant stay at the luxurious E&O Hotel in Georgetown. Your suite is tastefully decored, beautiful.
Colonial-style and heritage hotels are my favourites. There are other historic hotels in Penang, however the most of them have lost their original characteristic because they have merely kept the exterior and features intact while altered the interior to suit contemporary tastes. The old E & O Hotel however still retains its colonial décor from the British heyday. In 1974, while still in school, I accepted a UK visitor's invitation to have dinner at this hotel. The majority of the hotel's guests at the time were European. The E & O Hotel is Southeast Asia's oldest hotel. It was built in 1885 by the well-known Armenian hotelier family Sarkies Brothers, at the height of British colonisation. The Sarkies family also built the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, the Strand Hotel in Yangon, the Majapahit Hotel in Surabaya, Indonesia. If you're interested in colonial-style hotels, you might want to check out the Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the Majestic Hotel in Melaka, the Cameron Highlands Resort, and The Danna in Langkawi.
Hey i am inviting you two please come in Calcutta , India . I will show you the best places will give you treat in the best restaurants… i really loved your blogs ❤❤
Their lunch buffet is my go if I only have one day in Penang. You get all the best foods of Penang in one place. (Of course it’s a bit expensive, and not the best of the best, but so good and convenient)
You both look like you are loving Malaysia! How long do you think is good for travelling around there? Ie...how many weeks? Have a great day! Martin...Bristol ..england
The Sarkies Brothers hail from the Armenian Quarter (Julfa) in Esfahan (Iran). Over there is a church in Jolfa calleed St. Nicholas Church, that is also has some ties to the Sarkies families. Highly recommended anyone to visit Esfahan city!
I did stay in one of the old colonial bungalows a couple of years ago before our hike to the Pine tree trail, I didn't see anything but one of the girls saw something in the room they were sleeping in 😁
20:22 I think this is the EO hotel in Penang which three of thier rooms considered so HAUNTED👹 and prohibited to anyone (which also include the stafs) - prohibited since the early 70s... Guess what... you are not alone 😰
Hi, again. Have you two ever stayed in the Raffles Hotel 🏨 in Singapore 🇸🇬 ? It is also the grandest hotel in Singapore and has a rich history behind it as well. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rumoured to be haunted...from ww2 & japanese occupation days before the place was turned into a luxurious hotel many years later. I've stayed there couple of times but i personally didnt encounter anything but some of my colleagues said they get goose bumps & hear weird noises in the rooms at the old wing. But could just be their imagination....😂
No matter what tourist say our country is great the reality Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia always win in world stage. Just recent rankings of best cities in the world Kuala Lumpur rank 50th but Singapore rank 5th and Bangkok ranks 32nd. It's very unfortunate this happens to Malaysia. Just because it's majority Muslim westerners does not really think of kuala Lumpur or Malaysia as a whole for their first visit to South East Asia instead they will always go to Thailand Indonesia ( Bali) and Singapore before they even thought of coming to Malaysia. Some come for visa runs. This is the reality. It's Sad that Malaysia is awesome country.
Erm. I actually prefer Malaysia remain underrated 😌. And to compare Malaysia and Singapore are bit weird, since Singapore itself pretty much are 'city-state'. 😌
What’s the problem with women these days? Can’t they speak with their original voice tone 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️.. what so cool of using fry vocal @ affectation during talk 🤦🏾♂️
Let’s invest in Malaysia 🇲🇾 because: Good Healthcare system 👍 Good Education system 👍 Good infrastructure 👍 Good Social 👍 Clean 👍 Good for kids to grow 👍 Good place to restart your legal business 👍 Safety 👍 Modern 👍 English speakers 👍 Original, Luxurious but cheap 🩵👍

Hi Guys my grandad was a GM in the hotel in the 50s 😊
Oh no way! Well he obviously did a great job as it’s still running in tip top shape ❤️
Since you stay at the E&O hotel, you may wanna check out the E&O Express as well, one of the most luxurious (and expensive) train ride in the world.
This was a very informative video, thank you for your hard work.
You two are so lucky 🍀 to be able to have booked into this Heritage room in this luxurious hotel 🏨 in Malaysia 🇲🇾 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It was a dream come true 💖✨
The hotel room is so awesome ❤❤❤ ..and the hotel is amazingly beautiful
Every topic you show us is just a unique experience.
❤️🙏🏼
The lobby of this E & O hotel was used to film the opening scene of that Hollywood movie "Crazy Rich Asians"
Yes that’s what we were told! Very cool indeed
I asked them to make me roti canai with bananas, so good! Same with the apom balik ❤ And asked them for extra prawns in the char kuay teow 😊
What a wonderful coverage ! Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Will do!
The breakfast is really good..😊
Wow what a luxurious stay in Penang! I could never afford that
Now you know why the British were so reluctant to grant us independence.
Hi guys it was amazing video I really really enjoyed it keep it up guys ❤

Go to Fraser hill you can see old cottage house members you can see ghosts

Lunch at QUALLYs ,,,authentic dish
Hi! What camera do you actually have for vlogging? :) Since the audio quality is great but the lens is so wide also!
I ve almost forgotten this old jewel building. Turned hotel in mid 80? Good idea..good business strategy..haha
🎉🎉
E&O hotel
Shelbs ok time to put the camera down and get into that buffet
🤤🤤
You guys should visit Brunei and stay at the 7-star hotel, The Empire Brunei.
Ooohhhhh 👀😍
20:22 I think this is the EO hotel in Penang which three of thier rooms considered so HAUNTED👹 and prohibited to anyone (which also include the stafs) - prohibited since the early 70s... Guess what...
you are not alone 😰
Oh whatttt! We never knew that 😂 well we survived without any issues haha!
Sure is. Rooms 106 and 108.😂
No good old hotels in Malaysia that doesn’t come with its ghost stories. It’s tradition! 😂
Hi, again. Have you two ever stayed in the Raffles Hotel 🏨 in Singapore 🇸🇬 ? It is also the grandest hotel in Singapore and has a rich history behind it as well. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
No we haven’t!
The same Sarkies Brothers built both these hotels back then.
Beautiful hotel. 😊 Reminds me of the Raffles in Singapore
That’s what another person said! Haha
It's built by the same Sarkies Brothers. But I believe they built the E&O first before The Raffles.
Wow
Did you guys go to cofee 45🙂
Rumoured to be haunted...from ww2 & japanese occupation days before the place was turned into a luxurious hotel many years later.

Hai my friends; you’ve never told us about price, price??!
0MG I have both your querks LOL!

Malaysia had been colonized for almost 450 years by Portugal, Netherlands and England, hence you may find plenty of historical sites
Almost anything u can find in Malaysia
Much cheaper than raffles hotel in singapore, also built by the sarkies brothers
