Penang hotels

To be just a short drive from Penang International Airport (PEN), plan on staying at a hotel in the southeastern region of the island. The TH Hotel Penang is an affordable option that is just a 4min drive from the airport, while the EST Hotel Penang is a casual choice that is a 5min drive away.

For those who are hoping to travel as affordably as possible, opt to stay at a hotel located in the centre of the island, such as one near the neighbourhood of Kampung Permatang Timbun. Both the Fig Tree Hill Resort and the MaliHom Private Estate are affordable options that are surrounded by lush scenery and located just a 20–25min drive away from George Town.

The northern part of the island is known for having particularly scenic views of the ocean, with both the Rainbow Paradise Beach Resort and the Lost Paradise Resort located directly on the waterfront. For a hotel that still offers its guests beautiful views but is also on a sprawling sandy beach, consider staying at the 5-star DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang.

To be within easy walking distance of a diverse selection of restaurants, a convenient area to stay in is Jelutong, which contains options like Soon Lai Seafood, US Pizza Penang, and Old Town White Coffee. The Maritime Luxury Suite is a stylish option that is next-door to this neighbourhood and will place you less than a 10min walk from all of these dining choices.
