AC Hotel Penang

~$60/night per room (+tax)

Azimah's arranging a private bus to take us between cities. We'll have the bus for the entire trip and will be able to use it within cities, if needed.

George Town is very walkable and bicycles for rent will be available.

Our stay in Arau will be shorter and we'll likely use our private bus or taxis to get around.

We've secured group rates at AC Hotel Penang and AC Hotel KL but rooms are subject to availability, so we recommend booking soon!
