19th century tycoon Cheong Fatt Tze was renowned for many things, his rags-to-riches story, business acumen, political ties and of course, his vision in building The Blue Mansion as his private residence, an oasis to escape to right in the bustling heart of George Town.
Nearly 120 years on, the restored mansion is an icon of the city. The details brought together by Cheong’s eclectic and discerning eye and lovingly restored by heritage architect Laurence Loh still stand out today, as much as they did in the late 19th century.
In the past 100 years, the city has evolved, but at its core, the mansion has endured, providing its residents, guests and visitors with the unique opportunity to experience George Town’s living heritage right from its beating heart.
It is with this guiding spirit that we have sought to curate a collection of townhouses by The Blue Mansion, each unique, yet united in providing an unparalleled heritage experience of George Town, Penang. These are located in the heart of the city, which means that staying here, you can choose to truly live like a local – experiencing the sights, sounds and spirit of George Town, from the sanctuary of your own “home”.
Note: These town houses are located on Rope Walk/Jalan Pintal Tali, a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive away from the Mansion.

A Note on The Restoration
With each residence, the restoration approach has been conscious and respectful to not just the history of the house, but also the neighbourhood in which it stands. Care was taken to restore, repair and uncover original elements such as wooden beams, terracotta tiles and granite slabs. Working with local artisans and craftsmen, materials were reused and upcycled. In cases where they were unsalvageable, meticulous replacements were sourced.
