Autograph Collection Hotels Debuts in Penang with the Opening of The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection, Capturing the Essence of a Bygone Colonial Era

February 18, 2025 by StrawberrY Gal

Autograph Collection Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, proudly announces the opening of The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection. The first Autograph Collection hotel in Penang, nestled along the historic Millionaire’s Row, this 146-room designer hotel blends colonial-inspired elegance with modern sophistication, capturing the vibrant charm of Penang while celebrating its rich heritage.

“Each Autograph Collection hotel is exactly like nothing else – each tells a truly unique story and The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection is a perfect reflection of this. This new opening expands our portfolio of Autograph Collection Hotels in Malaysia, reflecting the rich history of Penang through a refined and sophisticated lens,” said Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President, Malaysia & Indonesia, Marriott International. “From bringing the grace of the past into the present, to storied guestrooms and progressive dining experiences, the hotel offers an authentic sense of place and an experience that invites guests to forge a meaningful connection with the destination.”

With its promise of “A Different Penang,” The Millen reimagines the grandeur of a bygone era, breathing new life into the iconic 1800s setting of Northam Road. Guests are invited to experience a seamless confluence of past and present, where every corner reveals a story steeped in history.

The guestrooms are a product of design, offering panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and breathtaking sky vistas. Each room features high-quality linen fittings, marble-clad interiors, dual vanity tops, and luxurious bathtubs framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. With touches of moody sophistication, subtle metallic accents, and sustainable luxury, guests can enjoy organic amenities and locally-sourced craftsmanship in a setting that exudes refined charm.

For culinary journeys to remember, Lili is a vibrant celebration of Penang’s local flavors and redefines Malaysian cuisine with a modern touch – the welcoming neighborhood hub offers responsibly sourced, cruelty-free produce; the Good Society honors the beloved British tea culture, where the refined space serves premium Devonshire tea and The Millen Espresso, an artisanal coffee blend crafted in collaboration with a local roaster, along with freshly baked pastries and cakes. 

The Millen offers premier meeting and event facilities, including Upperton Hall Grand Ballroom, featuring one of the island’s longest LED screens (31m x 2m panel) for dynamic presentations; while The Chamber and The Dialogue Boardrooms feature natural daylight and cutting-edge technology including a BOSE sound system, ideal for virtual and in-person meetings. Moments of personal enrichment ensure a well-rounded stay and can be enjoyed at a 24-hour fitness centre and saltwater-treated Infinity Pool overlooking the Straits of Melaka.

Later this year, wellness seekers can indulge in Nut&Meg Wellness Spa, offering treatments inspired by heritage and local ingredients like nutmeg, blending traditional methods with modern techniques. Gourmet enthusiasts can look forward to experience Blacklinen Restaurant, a charcoal-grill restaurant specializing in premium aged meats, fresh seafood, and an extensive curation of wine selection.

“We are thrilled to unveil The Millen, a truly unique hotel that personifies Penang’s charm with a special story and heartfelt design. Our team is focused on showcasing the rich culture of the destination and creating authentic, one-of-a-kind experiences for guests when they visit Penang,” shared Catherine Townsend, General Manager, The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection.

The hotel is located on Northam Road, the upbeat district with local eats, bars, restaurants, and lifestyle malls within reach. The hotel is a short distance from the island’s attractions such as Gurney Drive, UNESCO world heritage site, Penang Botanic Gardens, Beach Street, and more. Penang International Airport can be reached in 35 minutes.

The Millen Penang, Autograph Collection participates in Marriott Bonvoy – the award-winning travel program from Marriott International – allowing members to earn and redeem points for their stay at the new hotel, and at other hotels and resorts across Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of brands. With the Marriott Bonvoy app, members enjoy a level of personalization and a contactless experience that allows them to travel with peace of mind.
