Guestrooms & Suites at Areca Hotel Penang

During our recent visit to Areca Hotel Penang, my wife and I were privileged to stay in their well appointed Heritage Room. We are also taken on a room tour of the hotel. At time of writing (Nov 2017), Areca Hotel has three types of rooms, namely the Garden Room, Heritage Room and Family Suite. I went on a room tour to view each of these rooms, so that I can get the photos to show you to. If you are planning a visit to Penang, Areca Hotel is conveniently located in downtown George Town, within walking distance from many sights and street food destinations.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
