Hotels in Penang, Malaysia

Penang is an island off Malaysia's northwest coast, with a tropical climate that stays around 86°F (30°C) year-round. It's famous for George Town's UNESCO-listed colonial architecture and street art, plus hawker stalls serving char kway teow and Assam laksa. The dry season from December to February is best for hiking Penang Hill or swimming at Batu Ferringhi beach, while the wetter months from April to October are perfect for exploring the Pinang Peranakan Mansion and sampling food at Gurney Drive without the crowds.
