88 Armenian

88 Armenian is a luxurious boutique hotel located on the culturally rich Armenian Street in Georgetown, Penang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building, originally a lodging house for Armenian traders in the mid-19th century, has been meticulously restored to preserve its Straits Eclectic architectural style. After the Armenians left, the street became a hub for the Chinese migrant community, thriving with copper and brass industries. Today, the hotel reflects the street’s historical and cultural significance, blending modern luxury with traditional elements, such as exposed brick walls, wooden flooring, and copper accents. The hotel’s design pays homage to the past, incorporating Japanese wood preservation techniques and stylish, high-end interiors. With premium furnishings, Bath Butler services, and smart technology, 88 Armenian offers a sophisticated and comfortable retreat in the heart of a vibrant, historic district.
