If you are in Penang, you can book your hotel in 4 main areas. Georgetown, Gurney, Tanjung Bungah and Ferringhi beach.

Touring Penang should never be rushed and your holiday. Some of the first class can be found at Batu Ferringhi. Be ready to spend because tropical resort hotels such as Rasa Sayang spells lavish spa getaway with every facility you would need when on this island. The Golden Sands is a romantic getaway for honeymoonersand Parkroyal Hotel promises you a sophisticated stay. Coming up in September is a Hard Rock Hotel. As its name suggests, this hotel is a dedication to the Hard Rock cafe, with much memorabilia adorning its walls in a 70s looking facade. It is an excitable newbie on the strip that everyone can’t wait to have a peek at!

Tanjung Bungah is right below Batu Ferringhi. Though their beaches are not as breathtaking as that of Batu Ferringhi, it’s still above average. The best hotel on the strip is the Paradise Sandy Bay Resort. Ideal for families, friends and anyone, it is a charming place to stay for a good get away. Prices here are reasonable but compared to its peers such as the secluded Copthorne Orchid with a small private beach, the Crowne Jewel, and family resort Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel, it is probably the most expensive of the four.

Those who like to go to the city may find Cititel a good bargain because of its proximity to popular entertainment places such as bars,pubs, clubs and cafes; not to mention the malls and being in the middle of town makes it very nearby to the historic landmarks and food location on the island. For a grander holiday, try the Traders Hotel for a truly luxurious holiday and for art and style lovers, the G hotel on Gurney Drive is definitely your cup of tea.
