Hotel guide
Hard Rock Hotel Penang
The liveliest big resort on the strip — huge pool, music and family fun.
Hard Rock is the most energetic of the large beachfront resorts and a reliable choice for families and groups. A huge sandy-edged free-form pool is the centrepiece, with music styling throughout, themed kids' suites and regular live entertainment.
It sits beachfront in the middle of the strip, so the night market, restaurants and water sports are all close at hand.
