The five-star Shangri-La Rasa Sayang is a pretty impressive property spread out across 30 acres along the famous Batu Ferringhi beach. The whole hotel has been fitted out in traditional Minangkabau style - in fact, in line with this, the hotel hosts a time-honoured Malay musical performance every Friday outside its Rasa Wing lobby. We love the five-storey Rasa Wing: built in 1973, it has an exclusive feel, offering guests little extras such as afternoon tea, all day cocktails and evening canapes. This side of the hotel is home to Ferringhi Grill, an award-winning, fine-dining restaurant, plus the property also plays host to five other restaurants and bars. Contributing to the hotels all-inclusive feel, guests also have access to four other food and drink venues (including an ice cream parlour) at the four-star Shangri-La Golden Sands Resort next door.
Lone Pine Hotel is an icon on the Batu Ferringhi beachfront scene. Established in 1948, it is the oldest hotel along the strip and strikes a chord with most visitors to Penang because it is truly unlike any other. Beach lovers will appreciate the fact that the white half-moon sweep of the complex (divided into several blocks) leads directly down to the soft, white sand strand. Meanwhile, couples (honeymooners especially) will love its secluded, romantic vibe. Families will appreciate the hotels L-shaped saltwater swimming pool and the variety of water sports activities available on the beachfront; alternatively, business travellers will be glad for the hotels quiet atmosphere, making it easy to concentrate on work even if you are sitting in one of the attractive cabanas by the beach.
