The best accommodations Northwest

Kuah's most luxurious resort has its own private beach and two swimming pools, one of which overflows into the bay. The rooms, all renovated in 2013, are absolutely magnificent: the white is in the spotlight and hides no defects. The architecture is inspired by traditional Malayan architecture, or at least the roof, the rest being the most modern. The service is attentive and the facilities are of high quality, just like a most enchanting spa.

If children are not accepted, it is just to preserve the intimate and relaxing side of the place. Nothing material, so… you will have your own apartment with a modern and pleasant decoration, with a very comfortable bedroom, a kitchenette and a living room. A small pool, sheltered from sight. The entrance is between the restaurants Llawa and L'Osteria.

The Hotel Vistana Penang is a contemporary business hotel renovated in 2014 and has 228 spacious rooms in a modern, clean style. It is within walking distance of Georgetown and the airport. Inside, you have access to a shop, a café, a restaurant as well as an outdoor swimming pool and a gym. Right next to the hotel is a short food offering mainly Indian specialities.

It is a corner of paradise, lost in a tropical forest where the celebrities are resting in search of calm and rest.

Beautiful rooms well equipped. The suite of the Ritz, the most sumptuous of all, costs 1 500 RM at night. Restaurant, swimming pool and gym.

On the sea, but without charm. Bathroom, hot water, TV and air conditioning. To troubleshoot.

For seasoned backpackers. A small but well-kept hotel and a friendly atmosphere.

A hotel with all the standards of the chain, especially advising families. Many different categories of rooms and services, including swimming pool, daycare and many sports activities.

Pantai Tengah's first resort offers Malay style chalets facing the sea. Rooms with basic and clean comfort, fair restaurant. For the price above all.

A very colourful hotel (orange and blue, if, if!). Spacious, comfortable and clean rooms and a truly friendly service.

ParkRoyal Penang Resort is a reference in Penang as it belongs to one of the oldest of the bay. It is mainly intended for families and also to businessmen who want to decompress. In addition to numerous relaxation areas, it has 2 pools, one with waterslides for the pleasure of children and the other surrounded by coconut trees, all within short walking distance from the beach. Several restaurants and bars around the pools or beachfront. A luxury hotel with the very pleasant gardens, musical entertainment in the evening to entertain you except if you choose the night market which stretches up to the premices of the hotel. There is French-speaking management will be at your disposal during your stay. The wide range of breakfast and seafood buffet are very popular.

A modern hotel with a friendly atmosphere, offering simple but comfortable rooms. Small balcony as a bonus.

On the northern part of the beach of Pantai Cenang, this set on the beach is made of bungalows made of wooden or hard, well maintained. Wooden standard bungalows are a very good option, comfortable and nicely arranged. The most pleasant is to stay in the chalets in height, in the trees with a superb view over the sea. The staff is very friendly. A good option.

Located outside the center of the new town, it is a large complex with swimming pool, a little unspoiled. Comfortable rooms, without being outstanding.

Founded in 1885, it was for many years the meeting place of Penang's English community and is still one of Georgetown's finest hotels. Over the years, it has been extended with a new wing, but with full respect for the architecture of the original wing. It now boasts 222 magnificent suites, two swimming pools, restaurants and a bar. A free shuttle bus takes you several times a day to the Lone Pine Hotel, its little brother in Batu Ferringhi.

Spacious and clean rooms with TV and en suite bathrooms. No view on the beach, however.

This establishment is very popular with visitors to the city. It's just a 5-minute walk from the Pejabat Maritim bus stop, which offers connections to the Upside Down Museum. Rooms feature balconies, sitting areas and desks. Bathrooms feature a separate toilet and shower. The hotel is close to many places of interest, including Penang Little India, Menara Komtar Complex and the Camera Museum. A delicious breakfast is served in the hotel's restaurant, and there are also many restaurants nearby. Hotel facilities include a library and barbecues. Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out until 12:00 am. The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi and parking.

Sarang Paloh Heritage Stay & Event Hall is a charming 3-star hotel set in a historic Art Deco building in Ipoh.

A small retreat from the Georgetown Tourist Centre, close to the Burmese and Thai temples, these suites with old charm will delight the lovers of old stones and historic heritage. The neoclassical building where the two suites are located really has a lot of stamp. Some finishes in the interior are outstanding, but the price ratio remains excellent.

If this address is above all renowned for its restaurant, it also offers charming accommodation for those who want to avoid the conventional side of functional and charmless hotels. Right in the heart of Ipoh, in a small and welcoming green area, these seven luxurious rooms and suites are each decorated according to a different theme and offer irreproachable comfort. The "chinoiserie" room is our preference, but be careful, it is equipped with twin beds. Attention to detail and attentive service will make your stay perfect.

This trendy hotel has 250 spacious, modern and elegant rooms and suites, most of which offer exceptional views of the sea and the swimming pool. They are equipped with a Böse audio system, a large LED TV and free-on-demand movies, 24/24. We recommend Lagoon deluxe cabins that give directly to the beautiful swimming pool: Nothing better for a good wake up in the morning. The pool is huge with slides, bar and private cabanese. You will have several restaurants and bars such as Starz Diner, the Pizzeria and the famous Hard Rock Restaurant, which also offers evening entertainment. Mandatory passage to Sandbar to see a beautiful sunset. You can also enjoy the spa, the hairdresser's salon and the gym. The hotel has a business center and a club for children and adolescents. Within a 5-minute walk you will find the famous night market and even have a shuttle service to take you there. The hotel will do everything to make you feel like a rockstar!

Facing the sea, this smallfamily resort is arranged around a pretty swimming pool. Palm trees and carefully trimmed hedges conceal the large two-storey building that houses the rooms. Each of them is preceded by a furnished terrace. Inside, the old-fashioned decoration clearly deserves a refreshment. Having said that, the relaxed atmosphere of the place lends itself to a quiet holiday; as a bonus, the staff is very friendly.

An old-fashioned hotel like the tarnished purple facade, but the rooms are well-appointed and do well for a few nights. Its neighbour, White House hotel, is rather popular but has an equivalent standard.

Often full for only 7 rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful! Furthermore, a very good coffee awaits you on the ground floor. Inconvenience, the location is pretty noisy.

A hotel with a total length of four floors and a specialty: Italian cuisine. It is also possible to rent bungalows on the beach (more expensive!).

Nothing special, but comfortable and clean rooms. A little noisy.

We quote it more for a look than to sleep. Built in 1929, this residence was once the headquarters of the Rubber Sellers Association. During the Second World War, she was occupied by the Kempeitei (Japanese military police). A very nice house with history, but the rooms would deserve a little boost. Acceptable for price.

Clean and comfortable. A small balcony. The hotel closest to the bus station, right opposite the store.

The advantage here is that it is not expensive. The downside is all the rest: It was a good place to stay.

An interesting guesthouse, not as friendly as the Nazri Nipah Camp, because the common space is smaller. The rooms are basic but clean with bed, TV and fan and bathroom.

Set of yellow and pink bungalows on the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A little behind the beach, the chalets are not on the beach but on the other side of the road. The bungalows are charming, especially those who are air conditioned. Dormitories (rooms of 4 people with bunk beds) are an economical solution for small budgets (50 RM for 4 people).
