No. 05 : The Business Card of Yeng Keng Hotel

Yeng Keng Hotel is considered one of the oldest surviving intact buildings in the historic enclave of Chulia Street, a vibrant component of the World Heritage Site of George Town.

Like many of the other buildings in the neighbourhood, it was originally built in the mid 1800's as a private residence. The Anglo Indian Bungalow belonged initially to Shaik Eusoffe Bin Shaik Latiff, an Indian Muslim Family and remains unique in Chulia Street for not being relegated to the rear of a row of shop-houses blocking its facade.

In 1879, Trustees of the Cantonese Club 'Yin Han Pit Shu' bought the building on behalf of the association, later donating it to the Trustees of the Straits Chinese British Association in 1939.

In the early 1900's, the building was leased to Yeng Keng Hotel. The conversion from residence into a hotel was the prevailing trend along the street, at the beginning of the 20th Century. Small places of lodgings that were conveniently reached from the harbour were in great demand as the traffic in the port grew. To add grandeur to the commercial establishment and to distinguish it from the rest of the buildings on the street, an impressive traditional Chinese Entrance Gate was constructed announcing entry to the 'Lodging House'.

Conservation and up-grading by the present owner, M/s. Hoo Kim Properties Sdn Bhd, was undertaken in 2009 with the renewed Yeng Keng Hotel completed in April 2010.
