The Room @ Hard Rock Hotel, Penang

During the last company trip, I stayed at Hard Rock Hotel Penang, which is located quite far from Georgetown.
To reach there, one gotta drive through the long and narrow coastal road & along the hill...that's how secluded it is!
Nevertheless the seaview along the coast is breathtaking. After a quick check-in, I went up and was impressed to see the tastefully furnished room.
 The room is facing the pool (and the sea). It is quite spacious and can fit in an extra bed! The huge tv is even framed in gold!
The purple carpet with purple lights underneath the cabinet and wall made the place looks vibrant!
even the toilet is creatively decorated!
This portrait of Elvis is seen in the toilet...though kinda scary when you are taking a bath or doing business in the toilet at night...like 'someone' is watching u!
anyway, the toilet is not haunted....quite clean and new....
Provided with the standard cleansing stuffs such as soaps, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste/brush, and all the other sanitary items.
Just like any other hotels, there is also some standard amenities provided such as safety box, iron, kettle, mini fridge and minibar...
also complimentary bottled water and tea/coffee/sugar in packets, replenished on daily basis.
Now, let's have a look at the bed...super comfy single twin beds. Another portrait (this time is John Lennon) hung on the wall...a legendary star. Some rooms have Marilyn Monroe too...
At the corner, there is a dressing table with a shaped/curved mirror. The table can be doubled as working desk as it has 2-3 plug points.
a lazy couch next to the balcony
The balcony is facing the pool (and the sea further away)....a drying rack is attached to the wall where one can dry the wet towels/swimsuit. 
I had a jolly good time sitting here enjoying the sea breeze at night.
During the day, i enjoyed the view of the extensive pool. There is even a pool bar/cafe in the middle....are u able to spot it?
to be continued....

A nice and relaxing stay at the hotel. The room looks spacious and comfortable. Yes, can see the bar in the middle. If the weather is cool, it will be nice to sit on the balcony.

I enjoyed the room tour! The purple tone enhances the room's look, and the view outside gives it a holiday feel. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and spent the night relaxing to the sea breeze.

A bit spooky with Elvis in the toilet!! Lol. Anyway, it is a nice, chic room. I would love to stay there. And of course, with the poolside view, I don't mind such staycation.

Is the pool bar/cafe on the right side of your photo? What a great view your room has! Do all rooms face the sea like yours? Is this a company vacation or do you have to work during this trip?

LOL! on the like "someone" is watching you while you doing business in the toilet. I generally dislike portraits, I prefer scenery or flowers.

During the weekdays, the driver would picked us (me & colleague) from the apartment at 8am daily. Sometimes he would use different route...
