A brand-new hotel is now open in Penang, Bayan Lepas.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, Chinese Consul-General in Penang Zhou Youbin, Penang State Executive Councillor Wong Hon Wai, Penang Island Mayor Datuk Rajendran P. Anthony, and Marriott International representatives attended the soft opening of the 298-room, five-star Iconic Marjorie Hotel.
Marriott International’s network of brands, travel initiatives, and experiential services now includes the Tribute network hotel.
“Iconic Worldwide Bhd and Iconic Group chairman Datuk Seri Tan Kean Tet stated that the Iconic Marjorie Hotel’s soft opening marks an important milestone for Iconic Group.”
“The Iconic Marjorie Hotel embodies the spirit of Tribute Portfolio with its distinctive design, inspired by local culture and heritage,” stated George Varughese, Marriott International market vice-president (Malaysia).
The RM180 million Iconic Marjorie Hotel is the second hotel project built by Penang-based developer Iconic Group.
In 2016, the 195-room Iconic Hotel in Seberang Perai became its debut location.
Iconic Group has created an architectural experience that honours Penang’s beloved Baba-Nyonya tradition in close collaboration with Hirsch Bedner Associates.
With three dining areas, the hotel honours Penang’s culinary legacy.
Tiffin Hall honours communal dining by serving delicacies influenced by Penang’s varied culinary customs.
Senses Bar provides a poolside environment above the city, while Loom & Leafs Lounge serves a variety of regional specialities in a calm haven.
The world-renowned Green Building Index grading system, which encourages sustainability in the built environment, has made the Iconic Marjorie Hotel the first hotel in Penang to receive the coveted gold grade.
The hotel is anticipated to establish a new standard for environmentally responsible hospitality in Penang by combining energy-efficient features, sustainable building materials and resources, and innovative design.
