Merchant Hotel

Nestled in a historical area and around a 15-minute stroll from Taman Rekreasi Taman Manggis, the 3-star Merchant Hotel George Town invites guests to dine in an American-style restaurant and enjoy staying in one of its non-smoking rooms. Featuring a convenience shop and a storage room, this George Town hotel is a short way from the shaped Tech Dome Penang Museum.

The hotel is conveniently located only 300 metres from the Cheong Fatt Tze. The Merchant George Town is nearly 5 minutes on foot from CAT Lebuh Muntri bus stop and in close proximity to the disused Christian Old Protestant Cemetery. The Chew Jetty is also just 1.4 km away. For those travelling from afar, Penang International airport is 19 minutes' drive away.

The Merchant features 97 rooms equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels as well as a mini fridge bar and coffee/tea making facilities. The rooms have carpeted floor. Offering a bidet, a separate toilet, and a shower, the bathrooms are fitted with a hairdryer and a shower cap. Guests can enjoy views of the city.

The restaurant offers American dishes using the finest ingredients. Red Garden Food Paradise & Night Market offers Malaysian meals and lies about 5 minutes on foot from Merchant Hotel.

We liked our relaxing rooms, plus the staff was IMPECCABLE. Comfortable beds and complimentary Wi-Fi, climate control and full-length windows. The breakfast was the best, had a wide array of food like coffee and breads. Enjoyable location within walking distance of camera museum. Alcoholic tea and juices in the sky bar, good parking place.

We liked this place. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast was good. We were in the deluxe twin room with satellite television, a personal safe and a mini-fridge-bar.

Wonderfood museum could be reached without difficulty as it' s 1 mile away. 300 feet from the hotel you'll find Kashmir Restaurant, you'll definitely enjoy your meal. We liked everything at Merchant including the comfort and staff.
