Fodor's Expert Review Temple Tree at Bon Ton
Pantai Cenang, Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia
Walking around the grounds of Temple Tree is like taking a trip back in time; the eight villas that make up the hotel are restored antique buildings of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Eurasian origin. With more than 110 years of history, the former family homes were collected from around Malaysia and thoughtfully renovated. Guests have the option of renting out entire villas or individual rooms. Each house offers unique traits like a Mahjong room in the Chinese House or a private gym in the Black and White House. The hotel owner supports a local animal shelter, and cats roam freely here. Breakfast is set up in your in-room refrigerator the night before so you can prepare it yourself in the morning.
