OZO George Town Penang is the only hotel on the island with a penthouse sky lobby. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the best introduction to the city ever – a bird’s eye view of the nearby old town and surrounding landmarks from the 20th storey. All the hotel’s facilities are located on the topmost floors so everyone has access to the best views. This includes the infinity pool, gym and ON22 sky bar located on the 22nd floor, EAT restaurant on the 21st floor and lounge and library on the 20th floor where guests can relax, catch up with friends or plan their walking routes with iMac workstations. Maps are often not required at OZO George Town Penang, as the team is more than happy to point out nearby landmarks and locals’ favourite hangout spots right from the elevated vantage of Penang’s highest hotel lobby.
From the hotel’s main street entrance along Jalan Argyll, a short stroll leads travellers to George Town’s charming lanes, quaint local shops, amazing street art and heritage buildings featuring vanishing trades as well as new-generation cafes and shops. For foodies, make sure to stop by at the nearby Chinatown, Little India, the street side hawker stalls, traditional kopitiams and hipster cafes and be blown away by the multitude of choices. From the tangy, sweet and spicy Assam Laksa to the refreshing concoction of Ais Kacang or Malaysian style shaved ice, even the most seasoned foodies are sure to find something new that they have never tasted before. Don’t worry about exploring to the very last minute since the hotel is less than 30 minutes from Penang International Airport.
