Penang's most romantic hotels suit a variety of tastes: Our number-one pick is along a private stretch of waterfront near downtown's dining, bazaars, attractions, and British Colonial buildings that made George Town a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our second favorite trades the bustle of George Town for the beach of Batu Ferringhi; the upscale resort is easily the top hotel in the area, and has a separate adult-only wing and picturesque views of the Malacca Strait. Our third pick is west of the historic city center, but the beautifully restored mansion is a destination in and of itself, and is a short drive to the open-air food stalls and street art of the heritage district, as well as cultural tourist attractions like the Khoo Kongsi and Kuan Yin temples and the 19th-century Kapitan Keling Mosque. Our point? The Malaysian state is one of the most colorful and eclectic places on earth for couples to explore. Here are the most romantic hotels in Penang.
