Penang
Southeast Asia's street food capital — where Chinese, Malay, Indian, and colonial legacies collide.
Soori Penang, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World
Penang is where cultures stack like geological layers — Chinese clan houses beside Indian temples beside Malay mosques, all threaded together by arguably the best street food on earth. Georgetown's UNESCO core is a living gallery of street art and hawker stalls.
