Merchant Hotel is a hotel within George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at Penang Road within the city's Central Business District (CBD), the 12-storey building was originally opened as Hotel Ambassador in 1966. It was once the tallest building in the city, but in 1991 the hotel saw a change in ownership as a result of legal action taken against its original owner.
