Marriott Opens First Courtyard Hotel in Malaysia

Marriott has expanded its popular Courtyard brand to Malaysia with the opening of the Courtyard by Marriott Penang.

The new 199-room hotel is located along the bustling Jalan Macalister in the heart of Penang’s UNESCO-listed George Town.

Famed for its cultural heritage, historic charm, and palm-fringed beaches, Penang is located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is known as “The Pearl of the Orient”. At its heart is George Town, Penang Island's cosmopolitan urban center, lined with timeworn shophouses of the UNESCO World Heritage zone and traditional places of worship such as Chinese and Indian temples, mosques, juxtaposed with Western-style skyscrapers and shopping complexes.

The hotel features a variety of event space, a restaurant, bar, 24-hour fitness center and an outdoor infinity pool overlooking Penang Hill.

“I am excited to welcome guests to the new Courtyard by Marriott Penang,” said Subash Basrur, General Manager. “There is a lot of anticipation for the launch of the Courtyard by Marriott brand in Malaysia and we are committed to delivering a welcoming experience that inspires and re-energizes guests at an affordable price point. As a beloved destination for business and leisure travelers, we look forward to welcoming both domestic and international guests to experience our inviting hospitality and uplifting spaces.”

The opening of Courtyard by Marriott Penang marks Marriott International’s 17th brand in Malaysia.
