Macalister Mansion
Penang, Malaysia
A restored colonial mansion, built a century ago, seems an unlikely place for an incredibly modern hotel. Yet that's exactly what you'll find at Macalister Mansion. This one-of-a-kind hotel offers eight rooms, each of which is individually designed with specially-comissioned art and contemporary furnishings, as well as multiple spots where they can score a bite to eat or a drink. Outside, you'll find a mosaic pool with in-water seating and a swim-up bar, plenty of other tables and chairs, and interesting artwork.
