The hotel can be accessed by public transportation from the Airport (Grab or Taxi are all over the exit area) as well as from those coming from the main island of Northern Malaysia. You can also book transfers to and from your preferred destination via their Hotel transport service with an additional fee. You may book this ahead prior to arriving at the Penang island to avoid hassle.

Within the hotel premises is the Queensbay Mall in Penang, which is just less than 5 minutes walk. Aside from a wide range of shopping options, the mall also houses great options to dine in as well.

Aside from the mall, nearby establishments, whether local or international food options would make you feel at ease without worrying about running out of dining options.
