Hard Rock Hotel @ Batu Ferringhi, Penang

Finally, I visited the newly established Hard Rock Hotel in Batu Ferringhi, Penang. I was complaining about my disappointing trip to Batu Ferringhi in my previous post as Hard Rock Cafe was fully booked. I had learnt my lesson~I made a booking on my way up to Batu Ferringhi.

So........dear readers, are you ready to ROCK Penang?!


There's only 3 Hard Rock Hotel in Asia. As a Penangite, I am very proud to announce that Penang is one of them. The other 2 are in Bali and Pattaya. This luxurious hotel is situated along the famous beaches of Batu Ferringhi, hailed as the Pearl Of Orient.


When my daughter first heard that I was going to Hard Rock Hotel with my friends, she demanded that she wanted to follow us. Upon reaching Hard Rock Hotel, we couldn't find any parking space and we ended up having the car parked in front of a Malay restaurant.

My girl was and still is a die-hard fan of The King Of Pop-Michael Jackson and she was hoping that she could find some MJ stuffs there. As we stepped into the compound of Hard Rock Hotel, she started screaming and shouting. We thought that she was excited to see the Hard Rock Hotel's signature guitar sign. Instead she was pointing a white statue which is situated in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. That was a MJ statue!!! Oh my gosh, I really couldn't believe my eyes, Penang actually had a statue of The King Of Pop!

After shooting a lot of photos with MJ, we went into the hotel. Hard Rock Hotel is absolutely a perfect hotel in a perfect setting.



Take a step into this hip and trendy Hard Rock Hotel. The statues of the Beatles welcome you under the eye-catching light of the Hard Rock Hotel. Be it for an event or just entertainment, the impression the hotel makes will be long remembered~

Hard Rock Hotel welcomes you~~
The lobby of the hotel itself is stunning enough to catch everyone's attention. Unlike other hotels' lobby having crystal lights and fully air-conditioned, the lobby of Hard Rock Hotel has a large collection of the clothes or guitars that had been wore by some super stars. Personally, there's also a small art gallery where they display the paintings and sketches of the celebs. Take a quick glance at the slideshow below that I created, ENJOY!!!

Having an extraordinary hotel lobby, Hard Rock Hotel also owns the largest free-form pool in Penang with a kids' water playground which is fully equipped with water guns and slides. Want a pool party? Just arrange a booking with the hotel and they will roll out the sound system for your rocking fun!!!


If you are searching for pool-splashing-fun, it is advisable to get the ground floor room. Just open up the glass door and you can jump into the cool and refreshing pool. And don't forget to get a sip of a cool tropical cocktail or some snacks at the Shack Bar which is half-submerged in the pool.


Feeling bored?! Why not take a walk along the white sandy beach, enjoy the cold sea breeze or maybe you can get a chance to have a ride on the banana-boat or a parachute!

Don't miss out the chance shopping at the Rock Shop. There's a few Rock Shop at Hard Rock Hotel. Badges, keychains, t-shirts, caps.....can be found in the Rock Shop. Collectors shouldn't miss this part out. However, in my opinion, I found that the things there are quite expensive. RM45 for a badge?! NO WAY!!!

HAPPY ROCK-N-ROLL~ing!!

Stay tuned for the next post. I'll be bringing you to Hard Rock Cafe in Penang~have a quick glance at the world famous Hard Rock Cafe and tease your taste buds!!
