Opened in February 2025, The Millen marks the debut of Autograph Collection in the heart of George Town, 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.
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 masterstroke of design, offering panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and breathtaking city views. Each room features premium linen, marble-clad interiors, dual vanity tops, and luxurious bathtubs framed by floor-to-ceiling windows.
At The Millen, understated opulence defines every room and suite, where design meets thoughtful function in every detail. Upon entry, motion-sensor lighting subtly welcomes guests, setting the tone for a seamless stay. Each room is fitted with a bespoke cabinet housing the Nespresso Vertuo machine and Whittard of Chelsea teas, an esteemed British brand. A temperature-controlled kettle ensures the perfect brew, while a built-in mini-bar drawer provides easy access to premium in-room refreshments.
Tech-forward enhancements include a 55-inch IPTV Smart TV with Chromecast and a premium sound bar for a fully immersive entertainment experience. A handheld steam iron with ironing board, and a vanity desk with integrated touch-sensor mirror lighting, cater to both leisure and business travellers. A subtle local flourish comes in the form of custom-scented toiletries such as shampoo and shower infused with nutmeg, a prized spice tied to Penang’s rich heritage.
For meetings, milestones, and meaningful moments be it a conference, seminar, product launch, or the wedding of a lifetime, The Millen offers premier event facilities that can be configured into your success story. The Upperton Hall Grand Ballroom features one of the island’s longest LED screens (31m x 2m) for immersive presentations. It accommodates up to 200 guests in a round-table setup, making it ideal for weddings, conferences, and gala events. For more intimate gatherings, The Chamber and The Dialogue boardrooms feature natural daylight and advanced technology including integrated BOSE sound systems, each seating up to 16 guests in a boardroom configuration, perfect for both virtual and in-person meetings.
For wellness seekers, Nut&Meg Spa is a serene sanctuary inspired by Penang’s heritage. The spa features four spacious private treatment rooms, each with its own steam shower and large bathtub, as well as a Relaxation Infrared Sauna.
