Macalister Mansion is conceptualized as a quirky and sophisticated lifestyle destination where guests are treated to a series of experiences not unlike those found in the hospitality of an actual home.

Housed in a 100-year-old historic mansion that has been conserved and adapted, Macalister Mansion consists of 6 entities in total: 5 F&Bs and a hotel. Each of the 6 entities can be enjoyed as part of the overall experience but are branded as distinct rooms or spaces that are typically found in a mansion - Dining room, Den, Bagan Bar, Living room, Lawn and Eight rooms.

The name Macalister Mansion honours Penang's British Governor Colonel Norman Macalister and you will find numerous references to this historic figure captured in a host of specially commissioned installation art pieces throughout the grounds and spaces.
