hotels, Noordin and Muntri Mews.
Affordable luxury is the keyword at
Muntri Mews, with nine rooms arrayed

George Town. The hotel’s unique
concept and attentive staff provide
nightly turndown service and are

stylishly decorated with oriental
furniture and quaint mementos. The
room rates are affordable for those

will appeal to the budget traveller after
a touch of luxe comfort. Despite their

Mews exude a modern, minimalistic
feel.
