The island state’s first Hilton property offers a fresh, unique and intriguing addition to the holiday scene for travelers visiting Penang. Set to be an ideal resort for millennial families traveling with young kids and teens, the 316-room family-focused, full-service resort offers the option to connect up to two (2) rooms with the privacy of shared hallways, a Kid’s Club and direct access to Malaysia’s first teddy bear-themed museum, TeddyVille Museum.
The resort located approximately 15 kilometers from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town – is renowned for its old-world charm due to the rich historical architecture that dates back to the British colonial days of the 18th century, and cultural townscapes – ensuring accessibility to culture, retail therapy and local delicacies.
