Dining

Your culinary journey at the hotel is as rich as its history. Wake up to a delicious spread with a Bed and Breakfast plan at the breezy Palm Court. For dinner, you can savour the delicate flavours of Straits Chinese and classic European dishes at the Java Tree. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, head to Sarkies for a grand international buffet where you can dine just steps from the refreshing sea breeze and the sound of the waves.

Pools and Spa

You’ll have a choice of two stunning swimming pools during your stay. The infinity pool at the Victory Annexe offers panoramic views of the coast, while the Heritage Wing pool provides a more tranquil, secluded setting for a morning swim. If you're looking for ultimate relaxation, the Panpuri Spa offers a range of traditional treatments and massages. Please note that the use of the Spa centre and any treatments are subject to additional charges.

Beach

The hotel is situated directly on the seafront along a historic sea wall. While it doesn't have a direct sandy swimming beach on-site, the cooling sea air and views across the water create a serene coastal atmosphere for your afternoon strolls. The popular swimming beaches of Batu Ferringhi are approx. a 30-minute drive away.

Sport and Entertainment

Keep up with your routine at the fully equipped fitness centre or enjoy a leisurely walk through the hotel’s manicured tropical gardens. As evening falls, the Farquhar's Bar provides a chic setting for a classic cocktail, capturing the sophisticated atmosphere of a traditional English pub. It is the perfect spot for a quiet drink before dinner.

Family Amenities

Families are warmly welcomed here, and your children will love splashing around in the dedicated outdoor pools. The spacious suites offer plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably. While the atmosphere is refined, the staff are always on hand to ensure younger guests have a memorable stay, and babysitting services can be arranged upon request for an extra charge.
