Gurney Paragon, the retail-cum-residential complex in Gurney Drive, opens to the public on 16 January, 2012 with the launch of St Jo's, the food & beverage hub of the complex.

St Jo's provides an upscale dining experience in Gurney Paragon. It comprises high-end restaurants and eateries housed within the first two levels of the Gurney Paragon tower blocks. Located in their midst is the restored St Joseph's Novitiate, after which St Jo's is named.

Still under construction is the RM400 million Gurney Paragon Mall, an upscale shopping mall. Attached to the mall is Baby G, a hotel of the same management as G Hotel. The RM80 million Baby G will have 200 rooms. Occupying a 0.4 hectare site facing Kelawei Road, it will command panoramic views of the Gurney waterfront and North Channel.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
