DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang celebrated its first anniversary, having received over 120,000 travellers and holidaymakers in the past year since its opening. 

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said, “Penang’s rich heritage and strong cultural presence has resulted in George Town being inscribed into UNESCO’s World Heritage list in 2008.

“In addition to the range of experiences available to tourists, it is vitally important that the infrastructure exists to support the growing number of visitors.

“The Penang State Government continues to encourage new development of hotels on the island and welcomes companies such as Cornerstone Partners Group who believe in the potential and promise of Penang, and who have invested over RM100 million, over and above the cost of property acquisition.”

The island state’s first Hilton property offers a fresh, unique and intriguing addition to the holiday scene for travellers visiting Penang.

Cornerstone Partners Group chief executive officer, Jason Chong said,”The DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang is the showpiece of the Cornerstone Partners Group strategy focused on revitalising pre-owned buildings, matching unique hospitality products to distinctive locations, and developing synergistic cooperation with shareholders to capitalise on both their financial investment and their complementary attributes through our network.”

“With the continuing success of the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang, we hope to show that this is a viable model for the hospitality industry, and we will be able to attract further investment and other iconic hotel brands.”

An ideal resort for millennial families traveling with young kids and teens, the 316-room family-focused the hotel offers direct access to Malaysia’s first teddy bear-themed museum, TeddyVille Museum.
