The 100 year-old Macalister Mansion was re-designed by Ministry of Design and turned into a contemporary hotel. Located in Penang, Malaysia, this gorgeous, futuristic construction offers a unique experience for all its visitors. On the outside looks like a castle but on the inside offers all the comfort and luxury that could be gathered in one place.
Precious architectural elements combined with refined colors and fine details were arranged by the architects using their perfect mastery. When stepping into a hotel, one would want to feel just like home. The Mecalister Mansion promises to offer you comfort, intimacy and much more, even if you intend to spend a short period of time here.
I’m curious how the designers balanced preserving the mansion’s historic charm with the modern luxury features. What inspired the blend of castle-like exterior and futuristic interior? It sounds like a fascinating experience worth exploring!
Thank you! The designers honored the mansion’s historic charm by restoring key architectural details, while integrating sleek, futuristic interiors for modern comfort. The castle-like exterior reflects its heritage, and the innovative interior creates a dynamic contrast, offering a unique blend of past and present.
