Trailfinders' James Ferdinando gives an insight into Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang
Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang Expert Review
James Ferdinando
Shangri-La Rasa Sayang is an immaculate hotel with lovely manicured grounds, an amazing pool and a great breakfast buffet with lots of options.
The rooms are a very good size and I would recommend requesting a room on one of the upper floors. The location is perfect with lots of stalls, bars, ATM's around.
If you’re looking for things to do nearby, then I would definitely recommend visiting Penang Hill where you can see dusty leaf monkeys (Google them, you won't be disappointed!), Georgetown, Monkey Beach and Kek Lok Si Temple, which are all about a 45 minute cheap taxi ride away.
Top tip: Make use of the free shuttle bus to Georgetown. It leaves the hotel at around 14:30 and returns about 17:00, meaning you can pretty much have a full afternoon of exploring pretty alleyways, multiple food stalls and some impressive colonial architecture.
