Hard Rock Hotel Penang
This unique resort-styled hotel has been creating a huge buzz from the locals right up to the foreigners and I had the pleasure of staying here to fully experience what the Hard Rock Hotel in Penang was all about.

With such a world renowned brand name, the Hard Rock Hotel here provides guests with unique facilities which include a 26,000 square feet free-form swimming pool which is the largest in Penang and reputedly the largest in Malaysia.
Just wandering around the pool area gave me an different perspective of hotel pools. The kids pool, the lagoon room pool area, the pool bar and the sand pool, all interconnected to make this one huge pool. Family activities such as volleyball and dancing sessions at the pool is provided where the staff would participate here.

The 150 seat diner is indoor and an outdoor section is available for smokers or for those who prefer the Malaysian warmth.
À la carte is offered throughout the day while on weekends, special dinner buffets are offered and on Saturdays, a Seafood Buffet Dinner is the special here.
I was also quite impressed by the Elvis Collection at the Kings Club where we checked in. A daily memorabilia tour is available for guests where staff will take you on a tour around the hotel to view the extensive collection of Hard Rock memorabilia’s.
Two internet kiosks are also provided for those who prefer to surf the internet or simply check their emails and Facebook.
One can use the gym anytime of the day without supervision. However for children visiting the gym, parents are advised to tag along.
Fun activities such as arts and craft, table games, playing area, an internet station and a wide range of movies are available here.
I was told that some events are even held up here in this open area where you can see just about the entire sea section of the HRH.
The famous Batu Ferringhi Night Market which is a daily event is also accessible by walking down the road while various eateries are also found outside the hotel while nature parks are located about 10-20 minutes drive from here.

Staff are well trained and friendly and are always looking to assist you while greets will be coming in throughout the day from all directions making you feel always welcomed. For first timers, if you are unsure, take my word for it, it was very different in my usual hotel and resort experience and I walked away happily with a Rock ‘N’ Roll Experience never before tried.

You can also view some of the Hard Rock Hotel Penang in Videos which I have captured during my stay here in 2010. Probably some of the things have changed since then.
Location wise, it was pretty spot on as the main beach, shopping and entertainment areas were walking distance and good old Penang Food was just a stones throw away. I would also like to disclose that my 3D/2N experience was complimentary on behalf of Hard Rock Hotel Penang.
