Marriott Executive Apartments, Penang

I booked a 2-bedroom seaview apartment which was perfect for my trip with my elderly dad who is a Penangite. Space was beautiful and well laid out, and I appreciated that it was minimalistic with nothing too fancy or unnecessary. E.g., my dad could operate the shower without any issue and there weren’t any little shampoo bottles to fiddle with. Also, appreciated that the shower floor wasn’t slippery. I particularly enjoyed the M Lounge on the 20th floor. I understand this is a smaller lounge compared to the 2nd floor but it was an oasis of calm and what I needed with my dad - to have a separate space we could relax in when we needed to. We also really liked the coffee shop in the lobby. Hotel was very convenient for cars picking up/dropping off. All the staff were lovely and patient and helpful, which was incredibly reassuring as I was traveling with my elderly dad for the first time in a long while. Special shout out to Zak and Vlora at the front desk, Samson at the M Lounge and Husna in the lobby coffee shop who would always greet me and my dad with a smile and made my dad feel like a VIP guest. We didn’t walk around very much but there are restaurants within walking distance and I’d imagine it would be lovely to stroll early morning or evening along the park walkway in front of the hotel. There are two malls on Gurney drive a short Grab ride away or you could probably also walk. All in all, it was exactly what I needed for my trip with my dad, and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling with families or elderly parents. Important note for Bonvoy members: Marriott Executive Apartments is entirely separate from the Marriott Hotel and you don’t get Titanium benefits included like the lounge access and upgrades. I was informed there are rooms with the exact same apartment layout that can be booked through the hotel that would then give you all the Bonvoy loyalty benefits. I think you can also pay for lounge access if you book through the Executive Apartments. Just something to look into before booking as I had no idea and assumed they were all the same since they were in the same complex and Google Gemini told me I had lounge access as a Titanium member (this is why we always need to validate AI ;)).

“VISIT WITH HANDICAPPED”

I travelled to Penang with my handicapped husband and his helper in January 2026.

I travelled to Penang with my handicapped husband and his helper in January 2026. Before arrival, I requested bath chair, non-slip rubber mat, extra towels and room near elevator etc. and all were fulfilled. The room was clean & spacious with full kitchen, washer & dryer as well as all cooking utilities, serving trays & utensil. We felt at home. The breakfast was outstanding. The reception & concierge & all staffs were very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel if you visit Penang.

“The Perfect Place to Stay in Penang”

I never dreamed I'd leave a 5-Star review for a hotel bearing the humble Marriott branding, but well, will wonders never cease.

I never dreamed I'd leave a 5-Star review for a hotel bearing the humble Marriott branding, but well, will wonders never cease. There's a reason it's so highly rated, and that's because it's perfectly designed to fill the actual everyday needs of travelers. A genuine one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen facilities, microwave, freezer, dishwasher and (gasp) even a washer and dryer *inside* the apartment! This is a new high-rise built in 2023, thus enjoying modern standards of soundproofing, connectivity, and amenities. In addition to your own kitchen if you care to cook or reheat meals, there is 24 hour room service with excellent food, and two onsite restaurants. Free parking with in-and-out privileges is also provided. All at very reasonable nightly rates, so what more do you need? I wish more hotels could check all the boxes as well as this one does. An excellent place to stay, you absolutely, positively will not be disappointed.

My recent stay at the Penang Marriott Executive Apartments, which are combined with the Penang Marriott Hotel and share the same facilities, was truly exceptional. The friendly front desk staff provided clear explanations upon check-in. My room was spotlessly clean, well-equipped like a home, and included a free mini-bar, with a stunning sea view. A huge thanks goes to the housekeeping team for the lovely birthday decorations and card. My special appreciation also goes to Ms. Melanie for her thoughtful wish card, and to those who decorated the birthday cake on the table-their efforts truly made my celebration special. The facilities, including good swimming pools for both adults and kids, were great, and parking was convenient. The location was perfect, within walking distance to Gurney Drive. Breakfast offered a wide variety of hot and fresh options, including fresh juice and coffee, served by friendly and helpful staff. Every staff member I met was warm and welcoming, contributing to a truly wonderful experience.
