Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang (Georgetown, Malaysia)

The immense, modernist Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang, with its iconic revolving rooftop restaurant, contrasts starkly with George Town's historic old town that borders it. The 340 air-conditioned en-suite rooms promise views over the UNESCO World Heritage classified area. Spacious and tastefully decorated, they come with minibar, safe and tea and coffee making facilities. Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang makes an ideal spot for functions and business events with seven meeting areas, a boardroom and a large ballroom accommodating up to 700 people. The hotel also hosts a rooftop pool, sauna and gym. Guests can enjoy a cocktail in the rooftop Skybar and an international buffet in the flagship Three Sixty revolving restaurant. There is also a Malaysian restaurant, Kopitiam, and a lobby bar to choose from. The colourful and multicultural attractions of historic George Town can be reached on foot, such as the Pinang Peranakan Mansion and Little India – both approximately a kilometre of the hotel. The Batu Ferringhi beach is about a half-an-hour drive away.
