Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue Mansion, George Town

This was our first trip to Malaysia. We were especially impressed by people serving us during our stay. There was no feeling of a "rush hour" although everything functioned well. We also enjoyed a very airy room - the ceiling was high up! The leader of a guided tour in the mansion was a real expert. Maybe we even missed something because we do not know a Chinese culture so well. Food in the Indigo restaurant was overall very tasty and well prepared, some combinations, however not to my taste.

We spent 3 nights here and I found the whole atmosphere to be magical. Every inch of the hotel breathes history and yet it feels very comfortable in terms of amenities. We spent quite some time filming and photographing every interesting detail but the space is just amazing. I would like to commend all the service staff for being professional and prompt in service. I found the GuZheng player most professional and excellent. On our second evening, we found the lone player in an empty courtyard. He played as if to a full house audience! Overall, a great experience and we will come back again to try staying in a different room.
