then Copthorne Orchid Hotel should be your hotel of choice. Located at
the popular Tanjung Bungah (Flower Cape) beach overlooking the bay,
Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang is one of the few hotels to offer a truly
private beach in Penang, as public access to it is restricted. This gives you
space and freedom to lie back and enjoy the sun’s warm rays, or head
into the cool water for some water skiing, wind surfing, or banana boat
riding. Hop on to the complimentary shuttle service to visit the buzzing
George Town area or night market, and experience Penang in all its glory.
