Malaysia Clove Hall

Malaysia Clove Hall | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Clove Hall is a privately-owned heritage home set in an oasis of tropical gardens. It just ten minutes by trishaw from the vibrant living culture of the world heritage site of Penang and a 20-minute drive from the beautiful Batu Feringghi beaches.

Award winning hotelier Christopher Ong has returned to his family's peranakan hometown to create another unique, private, iconic and 'truly Asian' heritage home. By sensitively conserving a delapidated Edwardian Anglo Malay Bungalow (built on the original Sarkie Brothers coconut plantation known as Clove Hall) into this beautiful new property he has once again captured the spirit of place and found the perfect showcase for a unique and extensive collection of local antiques, artwork and furnishings. Using these as the inspiration for his minimal reinterpretation of the period, Ong has once again combined the best of the past with all the modern conveniences and spoils of the present. Adding new layers of meaning in the process.

Ong's award winning Galle Fort Hotel, winner of the 2007 UNESCO Award of Distinction for Heritage Conservation, a Conde Nast Traveller Best new hotels of the world and one of Trip Advisor's hidden gems of Asia has been the guiding touchstone for this new project.

Clove Hall celebrates the spirit of this amazing, world heritage merchant city and its fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian and English heritages.
