Beneath The Wind

In The Peak’s first ever outstation dinner series in Sabah’s magical land of mountains and seas, guests were welcomed by the warmth and hospitality of its co-host, Datuk Susan Wong and her friends, and charmed by the delightful setting of Sutera Harbour Resort. It proved to be an evening that realised the most important of Peak Events, that of a gathering of likeminded individuals who appreciated that the finer things in life and of new-found friendships and precious moments that long endure.

Past And Present Penang

With the burnish of time, memories of colonial Penang are composed of days spent in languor, watching the sea tickle the shores and palm fronds swaying in the wind. The Peak takes a walk on the island to discover that olden-day charm recreated in the present day.

Ever since Penang was awarded its UNESCO World Heritage Site status, jointly with the historical town of Malacca, heritage chic has become all the rage, particularly in the hospitality sphere. Recently, the Hong Kong-based Aman Group of Hotels was also mentioned in the news as the one who would manage the redeveloped Crag Hotel, built in 1929 atop Penang Hill. Amancrag Resort, rebranded from Crag Hotel, will join a line of sophisticated accommodations, each of which features unique facets of this former British port city. Here are some highlights that hark back to the romantic yesteryear, albeit with that modern twist of amenities, comfort and, in some cases, fine cuisine.
