Eastern & Oriental Hotel (E&O)
Grande-dame seafront ballrooms — the multicultural anchor
Penang's grand 1885 British colonial hotel on the George Town seafront, and the most banquet-capable venue of the heritage set. The Grand Ballroom seats up to 400. It's the one heritage venue here that explicitly offers Malay Hidang-style service alongside Chinese set menus, Western set and international buffet — making it the natural choice for large Malay or mixed-culture weddings.
