boutique hotels in malaysia
inflation sure is astounding.the family stayed at eastern and oriental penang about 17 years ago and it was only at a fraction of the current rates now. then again, it was before management realised its full potential and turned it into a boutique hotel with some facade touchups and interior refurbishing. a real colonial treasure E&0 is, too bad that its kinda unaffordable now. ack.
btw, how dare this place call itself a boutique hotel? perhaps it can get away with "heritage" but... does it even look inviting to you?!? boutiques are like The Lakehouse, Smokehouse in cameron highlands or the Aryani in trengganu, smaller independent establishments who give that cosy, comfy, personalised, at times luxurious and chic sorta feel. hotel capitol in kuala lumpur wasn't too bad either. we stayed there last year and it was hell convenient for food, shopping and the night scene.
hmm...when's the next break you say?
