You’ll find G Hotel Kelawai in Malaysia within the city of Georgetown, on the island of Penang. Because of the hotel’s urban and sophisticated atmosphere, and Georgetown’s population of 2.84 million residents, the property draws many Malaysian and international business executives, as well as upscale leisure guests. In other words, G Hotel Kelawai is part of a fascinating and colorful area of Malaysia for doing business or just relaxing and having fun.

The modern, 24-story building opened in 2015, offering 208 spacious guestrooms and suites; a rooftop infinity pool; three food and beverage outlets, including a rooftop bar; a 24-hour gym; an executive lounge; state-of-the-art function rooms; and a free, two-story underground parking garage.
To address Malaysia’s hot and humid year-round climate, and to operate a high-occupancy building, the hotel’s architects (K2LD Architects) enveloped the building’s interior within a double layered “skin,” meaning the outer skin is a sun-shading screen made of durable and easily recyclable aluminum, with hollow sections on the podium and expanded mesh on the tower component.

The dining experience is a highlight of the property; whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks, the variety and quality of the food options is impressive. The 2PM dining venue operates 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with indoor and outdoor seating available. Spoon café offers a variety of cuisines, from breakfast or brunch to lunch or dinner (6 a.m.–11 p.m). Gravity Rooftop Bar, on the 24th floor, is open from noon to 1 a.m., complete with daily offerings of food and drink, stunning views, music, and its own pool-top bar.
