Gurney Drive seems more then any other area in Penang on a crossroads of
old an new. Here you find ultra modern hotels and business buildings which
are located next to the old hawker food stalls, ancient temples and many
heritage buildings.
Not surprising you will also find here a range of hotels. It's
interesting that in an expensive areas as Gurney Drive you will find some
surprisingly cheap hotels. We have set some up for you.
For a 4 star hotel the Evergreen Laurel Hotel Penang is very
decent priced. The Evergreen is located at the Gurney Drive with
superior views over the Bay to the Andaman Sea.
Cafe Laurel and Evergarden Restaurant offers international and Chinese
cuisine with a spectacular ocean view. And as you are at Gurney Drive, just
walk across the street to enter the old world of Penang. The Evergreen
is certainly a good deal for visitors on holiday and business people alike.
The Northam All Suite Hotel Penang is another good example of a
very decent priced hotel with maximum quality. It is located at Jalan Sultan
Ahmad Shah in the business center of Penang, but next door to all the old
sights that make Penang so worthwhile to visit.
The G Hotel Penang is a reasonable new hotel in Penang and as a
building it does stand out.
The location is also great, the beach front rooms all have a spectacular
view over the Bay and the Andaman Sea. There over 300 rooms, many with bay
views but all are very spacious.
As other hotels on the boulevard you are never far away from for example
the Burmese Temple or the famous
hawker stalls.
Facilities include parking (useful in this part of Penang where parking
space is hard to find. There is a restaurant, bar, a very nice garden and
room facilities for disabled guests.
The G Hotel offer activities as sauna, a gym, spa, massage, Jacuzzi,
swimming pool and BBQ facilities. The G Hotel is a great value.
The Berjaya Georgetown Hotel Penang is probably more a business
hotel then a typical tourist vacation hotel. That said, leisure facilities
at Berjaya Georgetown Hotel include a gymnasium, swimming pool and spa
center. And the location is convenient too. The shopping centers and old
town are all nearby.
In addition, Berjaya Georgetown Hotel has 6 individual meeting rooms that
cater for smaller meeting set-up requirements. These meeting rooms can
accommodate groups of 25 to 100 people based on theatre-style arrangements.
The Gurney Residences & Hotel Penang too is excellent located.
Like most of the Gurney Drive hotels, the Gurney Residences & Hotel Penang
is on walking distance from all the tourist attractions in Gurney Drive.
With rooms facing the Straits of Malacca and the pubs, restaurants,
hawker stalls and nightclubs all in the vicinity, it's no wonder the Gurney Residences & Hotel Penang
is a popular hotel.
Facilities include Jacuzzi, swimming pool, and a sizable themed park!
with water slides, small rivers and waterfalls.
Bayan Lepas is convenient if you arrive or depart from Penang
International Airport. However, it's a long way to the beaches of Teluk
Bahang and Batu Ferringhi and the Georgetown city center is also 15 km
away. On the other hand, Teluk Bahang is a long way from the airport but has
much to offer. Check out the hotels of your
choice on this page
