Go BackA decade ago, only the business centres will have Internet connection, but nowadays the majority of hotels have wifi connectivity throughout the premises. Over that, the business centres may also have fax and photocopier machines, and some may also offer secretarial services. Among the hotels with a full-fledged business centre in Penang include Hotel Equatorial, Evergreen Laurel, Eastin Hotel and Gurney Resort Hotel.
Vistana Hotel Executive Lounge (14 August 2014)
High on the list of business travellers would be a place for them to meet up with clients. Some, such as Vistana Penang, even have a separate executive lounge where business travellers can have a relaxed place to sit down and chat with their clients. Hotels such as G Hotel, Jen Penang, Rasa Sayang Resort, Equatorial and Copthorne have large, spacious common lounge areas for inhouse guest to meet up with their local business associates.
If being in the heart of the city is vital, I would recommend Jen Penang, as it is directly within Komtar, and within short walking distance of 1 Avenue Mall and Prangin Mall. Across the road is the St Giles Wembley. In the Gurney area, G Hotel provides a choice location, with Gurney Plaza next door, while Eastin Hotel is a short walking distance from Queensbay Mall.
g Hotel, Gurney Drive, Penang (26 October 2011)I would understand that not everyone coming to Penang on business will have a fat budget. Business travellers looking for more moderately priced accommodation within the city can consider GLOW Penang and Red Rock Hotel, across from each other on Macalister Road, and within short walking distance to Penang's famous street food destination, New Lane. Even closer to New Lane is Sunway Hotel, which is also a short walking distance to Penang Times Square.

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.
