Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG) is continuing its love affair with Malaysia, with the opening in Penang of Gurney Bay Hotel, a PARKROYAL hotel.

The 368-room hotel, 10 minutes from George Town, is located within the new Gurney Bay lifestyle precinct developed by the Penang state government as part of its Penang2030 Vision.

The hotel's facilities include a 220-seater all-day dining restaurant, a Lobby Lounge & Bar, a ballroom which can accommodate up to 550 guests, four ancillary meetings rooms and a fully decked out Kids’ Club.

Health and wellness is taken care of thanks to an outdoor tennis court, two swimming pools, including a kids’ pool, steam & sauna rooms and 24/7 gym.

Choe Peng Sum, chief executive of PPHG, said the new property will complement PARKROYAL Penang Resort which is located at Batu Ferringhi beach .

“Both the hotel and resort will benefit from the state's expansion of Penang International Airport which is set to become the country's second largest airport,” he said.

“When it is completed in 2028, the new airport will double its current capacity of 6.5 million passengers per year to 12 million passengers per year.”

Within the first six months of 2024, PPHG has opened PARKROYALServiced Suites Jakarta, PARKROYAL A'Famosa Melaka Resort and Pan Pacific Jakarta.
