Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park (GPS: 5.4077, 100.27753) is a car park near the Penang Hill Lower Station, on Hill Railway Road, Penang. It is the main car park for visitors to Penang Hill. The car park complements the existing open-air Car Park A and Car Park B.

The Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park replaces the ill-fated "Kancil Car Park", another brand-new car park that had to be demolished as it was deemed to be not suitable for all but the smallest vehicles.

The Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park is an 8-storey structure. It was built for Perbadanan Setiausaha Kerajaan Pulau Pinang (SSI). The developer is Penang Development Corporation (PDC) while the main contractor is Yuan Seng Building Trading Sdn Bhd. The building plan was approved on 26 November, 2012. The car park was officially opened by the Rt Hon Lim Guan Eng, Chief Minister of Penang, on 19 January, 2015.

On the ground floor is a cafeteria, toilet, surau and parking for motorcycles. Car parking bays occupy levels 1 to 7. The bus stop is right in front of the car park. Rapid Penang bus 204 stops there.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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