Hard Rock Cafe Penang

Was at Batu Ferringhi in Penang on Tuesday afternoon and we decided to 'drop in' at Hard Rock Cafe ("HRC") to get some presents for a birthday girl.  I love the spacious interior design, the entrance to the hotel lobby from the driveway, the wavy pools, the cosy furnitures, the bar counter in the lobby.

It's the school holiday season and the pools are full of children having a good time.

The two guitars mounted on the Trishaw are real.  You can strum them.

A huge guitar on the main driveway of HRC Penang.  These pics were taken after the sun has set and during the rainy weather.

Hotel's wall murals are made of tiles.  The Beatles are the main theme at this HRC.

The hotel has so many pools.  Those rooms on the ground level has access to the pool right outside their balcony.

This is a lovely hotel to stay in especially for family with children.  To travel to town for shopping .. it will take you around 40 mins to an hour by local bus.  There are 2 bus services that you can take from Komtar (in Georgetown) to Batu Ferringhi -- buses 101 or 102.  The price is about M$2.70.

To travel further up to Telok Bahang where the Batik Factory is located, the bus fare will cost MYR4.00 per pax.  From Telok Bahang to Batu Ferringhi - the price is MYR1.40.  You get your tickets on the bus but the bus driver has no change to return you. So make sure you have exact notes and coins.
