Soori Penang
George Town, Malaysia · Soori · Core Luxury
Architect Soo K. Chan restored the George Town shophouses that became Soori Penang, returning to buildings connected to his own childhood near Khoo Kongsi. Original fabric remains visible within contemporary suites, making the hotel as much a personal architectural project as a place to stay. Its Lebuh Aceh address sits inside the UNESCO World Heritage zone, placing clan houses, temples and the layered street life of old Penang at the door.
