BOOK

Step through the indigo walls of The Blue Mansion, an iconic landmark built by Cheong Fatt Tze, widely known as the "Rockefeller of the East," over 130 years ago. This majestic mansion embodies Cheong Fatt Tze's visionary style and remarkable journey—from modest origins to becoming one of the wealthiest and most influential figures of his time. Wander along corridors filled with historical charm and architectural intricacies, where each corner celebrates his enduring legacy.

With 18 individually designed rooms surrounding peaceful courtyards, every stay at The Blue Mansion is a journey into the past. Here, historic elegance blends effortlessly with modern amenities, creating a captivating retreat in the heart of George Town, a UNESCO-listed cultural treasure in Penang.

Start your day with a delightful breakfast in the tranquil courtyard, savor refined cuisine at Indigo during lunch, or unwind in the vibrant, open-air atmosphere of Café Mangga in the evening. Enhance your experience through engaging guided tours that reveal the mansion’s fascinating stories. Indulge in special events such as the Sunday afternoon jazz tea, immerse yourself in enchanting courtyard concerts, or partake in a memorable degustation featuring European-style wines from Changyu winery—also founded by Cheong Fatt Tze himself.

Your Host and The Team


“When we decided to save the mansion, it needed urgent work to replace rotting floors and joists. The project began in 1992. What followed was a labour of love that spanned three years. During the restoration we were careful to preserve the spirit of the building and the man that lavishly spent so much money to build it, Cheong Fatt Tze. Today, it gives us great pleasure to watch life in it almost as it was back then. Indulge in the magnificence of Penang’s celebrated heritage while making yourself right at home.”




“Set in the old town, this UNESCO Heritage building is an authentic Peranakan delight. Inside its blue façade, the mansion’s 18 guestrooms are filled with 19th century art, curios and antiques that pay tribute to its original owner Cheong Fatt Tze, a poor Chinese man who migrated from China during the Opium War in search of a fortune.”
Kim, the discoverer.
