Independent Report
generalA hotel ideally located on the beach yet close enough to the city. It gets the best of both world - close to the beaches of Tanjung Bungah and Batu Ferringhi and also to the old world charm of Penang town. 01/08CB.
lobby The lobby is large and the central chandelier together with the open space give an impression of grandeur. The colour scheme is cream, brown and green which is present throughout the hotel.
exteriorA hotel of modern yet attractive tower block style facing the sea.
restaurantThe open concept Cafe Laurel which is adjacent to the main lobby serves breakfast and a la carte menu throughout the day offering both Western and Asian food. In addition to this the Canton Palace serves Cantonese cuisine for both lunch and dinner.
roomsThis hotel features 368 guestrooms with uninterrupted view of either sea or Georgetown and Penang Hill. The rooms are large and has a higher ceiling than most standard hotel rooms, making it look very spacious. The cherry wood coloured furniture gives a cosy feeling. The carpets are green, and bedcover & curtains are in beige and pastel shades. Rooms come with free internet access and there is a 2 seater sofa by the window where you can sit and enjoy the view. Toilets are also of very good size and the white marble top and wall tiles are still in good condition. Superior Rooms are all hillview.
locationThe Evergreen Laurel is located just outside of the main city centre of Georgetown on gurney Drive. It is just a few minutes from the business district and within walking distance to the famous Gurney Drive beach. Though the beach is not much for swimming but Gurney Drive is world famous when it comes alive at night with the local hawker food stalls.
