Penang Island Hotels

Penang offers a fantastic choice of accommodation to suit different needs and budgets, from luxury hotels, boutique hotels and serviced apartments, to budget hostels, beachfront guest houses, and exciting homestays.

George Town

George Town has become a favourite with visitors because of its eclectic range of boutique accommodation, which includes beautifully restored traditional shophouses and hip, trendy hotels with hints of local flavours. A stay in the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site is perfect for exploring George Town on foot, bicycle, motorcycle or trishaw.

Gurney Drive

Strategically located between the city and the beach, Gurney Drive’s high-rise hotels offer breathtaking panoramas of the sea and city. For delightful street food, world-class shopping and nightlife, this iconic waterfront boulevard is where the action takes place.

Northern Zone

Penang’s famous coastal strip up north, from Tanjung Bungah to Batu Ferringhi, is home to many 3 to 5-star beach resorts, with plenty of shopping, nightlife and eco-tourism activities close at hand. For an unforgettable kampung experience, there are homestays available in the smaller fishing villages close by.

Southeast Zone

The southeast zone is a stone’s throw from the island’s high-tech parks, the international airport, golf clubs, the two Penang bridges that connect the island to the mainland, and one of Penang’s largest shopping malls. There is a wide variety of business-class hotels to choose from, as well as convention centres, including the Subterranean Penang International Convention & Exhibition Centre (SPICE) and the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre, which is scheduled for completion in a few years.
