Habitual boutique hotel dwellers need not despair: having style does not mean you need to sacrifice comfort. That is the mantra at the design-heavy G Hotel in Penang, an “homage to contemporary design” that melds modern design and primary colors with plush materials and high-tech gadgetry.
Spacious, well-lit rooms are designed with sleeping in mind: muted, calming colors, comfy bedding, and four-poster beds. Suites enjoy expansive views, some over the ocean, and spacious bathrooms with enough counter space to satisfy even the most cosmetically-inclined visitor. That’s not all: there’s even an executive floor and a serviced apartment for long-stay visitors.
There are also plenty of dining options to choose from, ranging from the expected (international buffet and comfort food at G Café) to the unexpected (modern, contemporary Sesame & Soy promises a “dual dining experience”). G Spot gives night owls a reason to stay up late by providing cocktails against the backdrop of a live jazz band.
Its convenient location overlooking Penang's famous boulevard - Gurney Drive - means that guests can enjoy the seaview together with prime shopping and dining attractions along the promenade. These include Gurney Plaza and Gurney Drive's legendary hawker food enclave. The G Hotel is also a short drive away from Penang's central business and banking districts.
