What People Are Saying
Soori Penang is a unique and deeply personal project by award-winning architect Soo K. Chan, rooted in his ancestral heritage within George Town’s UNESCO-listed heart. Celebrated for its thoughtful restoration and design narrative, the hotel is praised as a unique convergence of living history, architectural poetry, and cultural revival.

Interiors
PLENTY OF PEOPLE SPEND THEIR formative years in beautiful settings. But few can make the claim that architect Soo K. Chan can—to have been raised in a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mr. Chan, 53, was born and raised in Penang, a Malaysian island that was an important stop for spice merchants in 18th and 19th centuries. Mr. Chan’s maternal side, the Khoo clan, settled on the island and in the mid-1800s built Khoo Kongsi, a compound with gilded temple and central granite square from which the clan’s row houses radiated.
