PENANG, May 4, 2025 — Hotel Sentral-Seaview in Tanjung Tokong brought the weekend to life on Saturday with a sun-soaked launch party for its newest attraction, The Lanai Bar, combining coastal elegance, local cuisine, and family-friendly entertainment.
Held on May 3rd at the hotel’s Horizon Café and adjoining beachside venue, the event drew a vibrant crowd of guests, including families, local influencers, and lifestyle media, who gathered to witness the unveiling of the beach-facing Lanai Bar.
The festivities kicked off at 3:00 PM with a Penang-style weekend hi-tea buffet that celebrated local flavors—serving up hawker-style Char Kway Teow, fresh pancakes, and traditional Ice Kacang. As part of the culinary showcase, live cooking stations and interactive food stalls lent a festive flair to the event.
“The Lanai Bar represents our commitment to blending leisure with local culture,” said Alex Gooi, a representative of Hotel Sentral-Seaview. “We wanted to create a space where guests can unwind with a cocktail in hand, with Penang’s golden sunset as the backdrop.”
Adding to the celebration was a live DJ station by the pool, spinning upbeat tracks from late afternoon into the evening. While adults lounged at the bar or danced poolside, children were treated to complimentary access to the hotel’s swimming pool, complete with snacks and playful pool amenities.
In keeping with the resort’s relaxed spirit, attendees arrived dressed in breezy, resort-chic attire—swimwear, sundresses, and flip-flops being the outfit of choice.
The event also encouraged content creation, with many guests capturing the vibrant atmosphere on camera. Against the backdrop of the sea and the newly minted bar, the photo opportunities were as refreshing as the handcrafted cocktails being served.
With its successful launch, The Lanai Bar is set to become a go-to destination for both hotel guests and locals seeking an effortless blend of seaside charm, live music, and curated dining.
