Welcome to The Blue Mansion, A Cheong Fatt Tze Legacy!

Restored to former grandeur

Hello again! We kick off with big news! We are super excited to announce the opening of The Blue Mansion, a Cheong Fatt Tze Legacy in the lovely historic island of Penang. 

You may recognise this iconic blue mansion as the home of the "Last Mandarin and First Capitalist of China" - Cheong Fatt Tze, who built this home at the turn of the century. It is an historic and iconic landmark, one of only three UNESCO heritage award-winning buildings in Penang, and the only one garnering the Most Excellent Award accolade. Widely believed to have been the tycoon's favourite home, it is the ideal destination to enjoy Penang’s unique historical and cultural tapestry.

Stunning interiors befitting of a grand home

Choose from several room categories

Modern luxury comforts in world heritage prestige

We have put a lot of work into transforming this amazing piece of heritage to its former grandeur. The mansion comprises 18 rooms, each individually themed and furnished with luxurious amenities alongside precious heirlooms from the family’s private collection. A new addition to The Blue Mansion is the Cheong Fatt Tze Restaurant, serving exquisite modern Cantonese cuisine. The Mansion will also feature a swimming pool surrounded by beautiful Chinese gardens, and a SAMADHI Spa.
