Penang Hotel Information

Dear Malay/Indonesian Symposium Participant,

Following is some information concerning accommodation in Penang,

from the internet.

Thanks to Peter Cole for his efforts in obtaining the information,

and apologies from me for not having done a better job of editing it.

Many of you may already have seen some of the enclosed

information, in which case apologies, also, for the repetition.

 

Looking forward to seeing you in Penang,

 

David Gil

Symposium Organizer

 

 

********************************************************************

The Crown Prince

The Crown Prince may no longer be available at the very cheap internet rate given below. If not, try the other choices on our list (above).

 

Many of us are already booked at the Crown Prince Hotel.

The Crown Prince Hotel is offering a special "internet rate" of RM 135

per night (tax and buffet breakfast included), which comes to a little

under US $ 50. This is apparently about one half of the regular rate. (I

stayed at this hotel last year: it's international standard, situated

right on the beach, and the breakfasts are excellent.) In order to book,

fax the hotel, at 60-4-890-4777, and ask for the special internet rate,

specifying RM 135 per night. (Do not ask for a conference rate, as this

may be higher.)

The sun shines bright and warm, the Casuarinas sway gently in the

cool tropical breeze. From your window, you

see the waves coming in from the Andaman Sea, lapping the miles of

sun-drenched shores.

 

Welcome to the Lone Pine. A laid-back and cosy littel hideaway that still

retains much of its romantic old-world

charms. Nestled along the famous Batu Ferringhi Beach, it's an idyllic

getaway from the clutter of everyday life, a

marvellous spot for indulging in all sorts fo leisure and pleasure. Lie in

the sun, jog on the beach, sail a catamaran, build

sand castles or simply go for endless walks while the sun sets in a fiery

finale on the distant horizon. And when you tire of

all that, laze away by the poolside or just spread yourself on a deck chair

under the canopy of shady Casuarinas and

contemplate on the green leaves against a bringht blue sky.

 

The service, like the staff, is always warm and friendly, a clumination of

42 years of making travellers and holiday seekers

feel thoroughly at home while they are far away from theirs.

 

All well appointed rooms with sea views. IDD telephone, colour TV &
