Nite View @ Hard Rock Hotel Penang

The night view at the hotel is spectacular...so here's one final post to showcase the hotel at night.
(Below pic) From the main entrance, the lighting is already that impressive!
Several mini bulbs forming the word 'Hard Rock Penang' hung from the ceiling...
and the color changes every few seconds
from blue to grey....
then to red
and green...
A huge symbolic 'electric guitar' at the entrance. I believe this is their iconic item as a similar guitar is seen at Hard Rock Hotel Bali too.
The hotel is a 5-storey building facing the sea...Not much of fancy architecture, except that the pool landscape is extraordinary. The pool spans across the entire length of the building with a pool bar, kids center, playground/slides scattered throughout the area.
At night, the purple lighting from the rooms and the turquoise-ish pool creates a vibrant scenery.
the facade facing the pool and sea (further away).
Meanwhile, the interior decorations are somewhat...bizzare.
Apart from many posters of the bygone 'stars' hanging on the wall around the hotel, you could see a 'throne' next to the elevator...at every floor!
well, that's good for a short leg rest while waiting for the elevator, but actually there's no need for that since the wait does not take that long (it's only 5 stories!)
Last but not least, what's Hard Rock without a cafe and a merchandise shop?
yes, the famous Hard Rock Cafe (and the merchandise shop adjacent to it)....which are situated at the ground floor next to the main entrance
*i have blogged about Hard Rock Cafe in my previous post.
Now, back to my room....at nite, i could never get bored of this view...
while listening to the waves from the nearby sea....that lullabies me to sleep...ZzzZZzz
As i'm writing this, the event committee has already planned out the next company trip to.....
Lang Tengah island, sometime end of August...seems that the company is feeding us with lotsa 'vitamin-sea'
But unfortunately, due to the transportation mode (estimate 6-7 hours ride by bus to & fro respectively), i gotta skip that trip coz i can't take long bus journey.

Thank you for the photos. Very nice place. Must be so enjoyable staying there. I must mark this place as a staycation place.
For the next trip, so sayang you decided not to go. You can eat anti nausea meds and sleep all the way on the journey there. Should be able to tahan.💪

What a nice vacation. I really don't mind having some vitamin-sea LOL! Me too cannot take long bus journey. Will get dizzy and throw up upon arrival.

I must confess that I had never stepped inside this Hard Rock Hotel. When I was very young, I frequented this hotel when it was known as Casuarina Hotel. Time for me to explore and rekindle my childhood days there! Yippy!

Nice hotel! Especially the pool design.

Well for the Lang Tengah trip, if you're determined to go, perhaps make your own way there.
