Penang, Malaysia, is a must-stay destination for couples on vacation – the hotels are incredibly photogenic!

In Malaysia, there is a city that seems not to be part of Malaysia, but rather somewhere in China. Yet, it is indeed in Malaysia, and not a piece of the mainland that drifted over from the sea; it boasts the best food in the country, much of which has been influenced by Chinese cuisine; it has a unique ability to stop time, preserving the moments of the years right there. That city is Penang. Besides its culinary delights, it is also perfect for a romantic getaway. Today, I'm going to share three hotels that are great for photography and ideal for couples! 👍 Highly recommended: Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa, Penang Average price 1000-1500, stunning environment – excellent service, facilities, hygiene, and soundproofing! In Batu Ferringhi, Penang, there are two Shangri-La hotels next to each other, and I recommend the Rasa Sayang Shangri-La more. At Rasa Sayang Shangri-La, there are the Garden Wing and the Rasa Wing, and guests staying in suites and the Rasa Wing not only enjoy daily afternoon tea and cocktail hours in the lounge, but also have access to unlimited soft drinks and fruits at all hotel pools from 9 am to 5 pm – which is why choosing a good hotel is essential for a vacation. Even if it's a bit pricier, it's worth it! The hotel has an excellent ecological environment; I really love Penang! 👍 Highly recommended: ParkRoyal Penang Resort Average price 550-1000, good environment, service, hygiene, soundproofing, and views! On the beach of Batu Ferringhi, Penang – the ParkRoyal resort, part of the Pan Pacific Hotels Group, is also very beautiful! It's very suitable for a couple's vacation. ParkRoyal, like Anantara, Kempinski, The Nai Harn, Capella, Sukhothai, is part of GHA Discover, so there are related membership benefits! A lazy afternoon – holiday time in Penang is so comfortable! After spending three months on vacation in Thailand, I thought I would be tired of the sea when I came to Malaysia. But surprisingly, even though there are quite a few guests in the hotel, it still feels very cozy, quiet, and comfortable, with a completely different vacation atmosphere from Thailand. A romantic seaside dinner in the evening, with the sunset and twilight so beautiful it's intoxicating! 👍 Highly recommended: Amari Penang Average price 600-1200, a new hotel with great facilities! Apart from the seaside – there are also good options in the city area of Penang! The Amari Penang, which just opened at the end of 2022, has a simple style, bright colors, and great window views – I quite like it! The executive lounge at Amari Penang is also very nice! Penang is the most artistic place in Malaysia in my eyes, where you can enjoy the fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine in Penang, and have a perfect trip away from the crowds. Malaysia's vacation paradise – a city famous for its food, with a diverse architectural culture that reveals the essence of Chinese architecture, the perfect combination of local Penang features and Western architectural culture – unique and impressive!
