The Edison George Town
Three interconnected 1906 heritage buildings on Lebuh Leith's most prestigious address
About the Property
The Edison occupies three interconnected heritage buildings dating from 1906 on Lebuh Leith — one of George Town's most prestigious colonial addresses and the same street as the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. The conversion preserved the original Edwardian-era facade, louvered windows, and ceramic floor tiles while introducing contemporary design within the heritage shell. Its rooftop terrace offers panoramic views across George Town's UNESCO-listed roofscape of temples, clan houses, and colonial buildings.
