Making the most of this prime island location, Hotel Neo+ Penang - Malaysia will feature 196 guest rooms, complimentary high-speed WiFi.

Each of the rooms are also equipped with high-quality beds and pillows, LED TVs and home entertainment systems, tea and coffee makers, and a writing desk with universal electrical outlets.

Bathrooms will have large standing showers, fluffy cotton towels and complimentary bathroom amenities.

The hotel will also feature four meeting rooms, two function rooms, a swimming pool & gym, as well as a lounge and bar for private events, weddings, meetings and exhibitions.

"Bringing Hotel Neo's trademark experience to Malaysia, Hotel Neo+ Penang – Malaysia will offer a 100% smoke-free environment – one of the defining features of Neo Hotels that ranks them as the first and only 100% non-smoking select service hotel brand. Neos also offer guest rooms with a full set of amenities and upmarket facilities without the high price-tag, staying truthful to the group's credo that well designed and exciting hotels do not need to be expensive," said Norbert Vas, Archipelago International's VP Sales & Marketing.
