Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. Breakfast is indeed exceptional~ a different selection for every day of our stay~ Loved the heritage building charm, especially the well preserved wooden shutter windows I opened everyday to look outside. Beds are so comfy I fell asleep quickly even tho the inn is at a slightly busy corner! Would definitely want to come back!
