When it comes to vacation, what most people think of is sunshine, the sea, the beach, and comfortable star-rated hotels. Then it's you lazily enjoying all of this, feeling that these elements are necessary for a vacation. Finally, this year we can finally travel around the world for vacation again, especially to the beach! It's almost the season for the ripening of Musang King durians, and Penang, an island with both sea views and delicious food, is a great choice! When you come to Penang, be sure to visit George Town, which is usually the main area where tourists stop to play when they first visit Penang. George Town is home to well-known world cultural heritage sites, classic restaurants with various dishes, and the new Gurney Drive street food night market~ However, compared to Batu Ferringhi, it lacks large beaches for people to play in due to land reclamation. Fortunately, there are still wide sea views to make up for it. If you are a tourist who mainly visits Georgetown but also wants to see the sea, staying in this area is a good choice~ Today, I will share a Penang Ascott Gurney Service Apartment that the island owner just stayed in last week. Ascott, which was renovated and rebranded at the end of last year, not only has excellent scenery but also a superb location! It is also very suitable for long-term stays. The bar in the lobby on the first floor and the pool bar on the seventh floor are both great places for daily leisure!

Address - 18 Gurney Drive, Penang, Malaysia Highlights - sea view, spacious room, walk in wardrobe, kitchenette Avg. Price per Person - sgd60+ Rating - 5/5 We stayed 3 nights and was sad to leave. The bed and quilt was super comfortable. Love the walk in wardrobe. Bathroom is also spacious, with rain shower. Service was good too. Staff was friendly. Only thing that wasnt great was the lack of tv channels, and weird housekeeping rule. On our second day, housekeeping only came at 3pm but we were busy getting ourselves ready for dinner and told him to come back after 530pm, to which he replied "don't have liao". So he just gave us new towels. Really tempting to stay here again if we visit!

Had a chance to stay in this newly renovated Ascott Gurney in Penang that has just opened in Dec 2022! The hotel itself is very new with most of the rooms have partial seaview. The location is unbeatable, you are practically 5-10min to basically all the attractions in Penang such as UNESCO Heritage area and nearby Gurney Drive. Below the hotel there are Coffee Bean, Yin by Sourdough, massage spa and many more! I would recommend anyone who come to Penang to stay in this hotel. Funfact: The hotel is used to be known as Gurney Hotel owned by Plenitude Berhad. Now it is operated by the hospitality arm of Singapore’s CapitaLand group called Ascott. #newhotels #ascott #penang

#christmasvibes A memorable Christmas celebration with family at Ascot Gurney Penang! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with simple yet elegant golden sustainable decorations that brought a festive sparkle to the space. The buffet was a true highlight, featuring an impressive variety of dishes, but the cheese platter stole the show. With an assortment of rich, creamy cheeses, crunchy crackers, fresh fruits, and flavorful condiments, it was an indulgent treat I couldn’t get enough of. The location at Gurney Walk made it even more special, offering easy access and a vibrant holiday vibe. Sharing good food and laughter in such a delightful setting made this Christmas one to remember.

Such a wonderful stay at this hotel, the reception are friendly and near to city of Penang. Will stay again #staycation #travel #beachview

I was unlucky on the day I went. Since I was only staying in Penang for one day, I just wanted to stay in the city center. The Eastern & Oriental Hotel was extremely expensive/Macalister Mansion was fully booked/Courtyard by Marriott was over 1000 and had no points redemption rooms/Marriott was not yet open. In the end, I chose Ascott Residence. 📍Detailed address: 18, Persiaran Gurney, Northeast Penang Island, Malaysia 🚗Transportation strategy: It's on the north side of the city center by the seaside, and Penang is not big, so transportation is very convenient. It's a short taxi ride away, and I recommend taking a taxi. 🌟Highlights: 1 The hotel is relatively new 2 Good value for money 3 By the seaside, with a side sea view 4 Convenient city walk in the city center 5 Well-equipped downstairs 6 APPELLES amenities are great ⛱Hotel environment: It's like being in the best state after opening, the environment is more like a hotel than an apartment. Very nice 💰Average cost per person: RMB 350, about 230 Malaysian Ringgit 📌Little Tips: 1 They usually default to upgrading you one level, you can request a room as close to the sea as possible for a better sea view. 2 The sea view from the rooms facing east seems to be better

When it comes to vacation, what comes to most people's minds would be sunshine, sea, beach~ and a comfortable luxury hotel, I think these elements make a vacation, especially suitable for couples~ Penang, an island with both sea views and delicious food, is a really good choice! When you come to Penang, you must visit George Town, which is usually the main area where tourists stay and play when they first visit Penang. George Town has well-known world cultural heritage sites, classic restaurants of various cuisines, and the New Kuanzai Corner street food night market~ But compared to Batu Ferringhi, this area lacks large beaches for people to play because of land reclamation, but it is comforting that there is still a wide sea view to make up for it. If you mainly play in George Town but also want to see the sea, it is a good choice to live in this area~ Share a Ascott Penang Gurney serviced apartment that I just stayed in a while ago, the Ascott that was renovated and rebranded at the end of last year, not only has an excellent view, but also a great location! It is also very suitable for long stays, the bar in the lobby on the first floor and the pool bar on the seventh floor are good places for daily leisure!

-2 Bar (at Lobby & Beside of pool) The spacious lobby, the dignified air and subtle good smells, the panoramic sea view when you enter the room, the fluffy slippers. I stayed two nights at the Ascott Gurney Penang, an apartment hotel located on Gurney Drive in Penang. The executive room is very comfortable with a spacious living room, a bright bedroom, and a bathtub with an ocean view. I liked it very much. I had an image that the Ascott series are simple hotels with only rooms, but this is the only hotel in Malaysia that has a bar and restaurant inside the hotel. The restaurant and bar menu prices start from RM20, so it is suitable for everyday use. In addition to the pool, gym, yoga room, and residence lounge, there is a very well-equipped kids' room and children's pool. Although it seems like a beautiful and simple hotel for adults, it is also a place where families can fully enjoy themselves. Breakfast is a delight, with many varieties of dim sum and elaborate menus such as beancurd desserts. The location is very convenient as it is attached to a shopping mall with many convenience store, restaurants, and cafes.

Great hotel at Gurney area. Located beside Gurney Walk (small mall) and about 15-20minutes leisurely stroll by the seaside to Gurney Drive Hawker Center and Gurney Paragon. about 5-10minutes by car to touristy area of Georgetown. The view is awesome from our room, as we managed to get a glimpse of the Straits of Malacca. My rooms was modernly furnished. We enjoyed the facilities such as the gym and the ocean-facing infinity pool. Very unique cocktails at the bar as well! #malaysia
