About Aayu
Aayu, which means “life” in Sanskrit, reflects our focus on enhancing the quality and experience of living.
At Aayu, we are inspired by a singular, authentic and original intent to create spaces that are minimal and calming to the souls yet bring resonance to the rich cultural past - spaces that are driven by technology yet bring on a taste of authentic experience of local culture and hospitality. It is our intend to offer a sense of serenity and peacefulness that is often missing in modern hotels. Our approach to minimal and contemporary room interior offers a warm, calm and cozy retreat that beckons a feeling of being back at home while offering a taste of locality and history - imagine our guests sitting quietly by the window, looking out to the busy street as they enjoy the chaotic beauty of a typical Penang morning.
Currently, Aayu manages 10 properties in Penang, all having located in the heart of Georgetown.
