Going on a trip, whether local or international, is always pleasurable. But not all trips are stress-free. So, it is important that you look for an accommodation that will give you comfort, accessibility and quality service. One such place that I would highly recommend if ever you happen to plan a trip to Penang, Malaysia is Sunway Hotel Georgetown.
Sunway Hotel Georgetown is a sleek, modern and gorgeous hotel located in the center of Penang’s capital, Georgetown. And being strategically situated right smack in the city makes Sunway Hotel Georgetown all the more appealing to guests and tourists. During our recent trip to Penang, this was where we were lodged for 3D/2N.
So, what does Sunway Hotel Georgetown have to offer that makes it standout?
Here are reasons why Sunway Hotel Georgetown in Penang should be your place of choice

4. Wonderful view – We were on the 14th Floor and the hotel offered a lovely view of Georgetown day in and day out.
5. A Club Lounge – Hungry? No problemo! Guests checked-in at the Club Room can enjoy exclusive access to the Club Lounge. Whether breakfast, mid-day snacks or even after dinner refreshments, the Club Lounge has got you covered. A nice breakfast spread that’s freshly prepared daily — bread, jam, greens, mains, fruit juices, coffee, tea or milk — are just some of the delights that you can expect to enjoy. It is also an ideal spot to kick back and relax after an exhausting day with free flowing beer, wine, cocktails, juices and assorted canapés.

Our stay at Sunway Hotel Georgetown also included a cooking demonstration by our very own Chef Luigi Muhlach of Amacena of One Tagaytay Place Hotel Suites, Tagaytay, Philippines. Chef Luigi masterfully displayed his culinary skill at Sunway Hotel Georgetown’s LG Foyer Area and prepared one of his specialties – Aligue Express using crab fat from the Philippines and ingredients from Penang.
