PENANG ROCKS!




WELL, it's official. With the unveiling of the 18'x7' guitar, the largest in Penang on Monday, the Hard Rock Hotel is set to become one of the trendiest hotels in town. Over 200 black t-shirted staff woke up Batu Ferringhi when they walked through the streets towards the front of the hotel. GM John Primmer, from Oz, has really hit the right note there.




"The installation and rising of this signature guitar is a symbol of Hard Rock Hotel and Hard Rock Cafe nearing its completion. The giant guitar is what defines Hard Rock. Almost anyone would most likely be able to identify this feature, something that is recognizable even from afar”, he said.

It's all looking very positive and exciting, with a trendy facade quite unlike the other hotels, and all the staff are encouraged to rock 'n roll. I think they are going to give other Penang hotels a run for their money, but as usual it's horses for courses: some will prefer the more conservative, others will go for price; there are also so many other things to consider. The great thing is that's what Penang is about: we have something for every budget, location and preference!
They will open their doors to the public on 19 Sept. Can't wait to try out the outlets.
