Penang<\/strong> (Malay<\/a>: Pulau Pinang<\/em>, [pi.na\u014b]<\/a>) is a Malaysian state located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia<\/a>, by the Malacca Strait. It has two parts: Penang Island, where the capital city, George Town, is located, and Seberang Perai on the Malay Peninsula. They are connected by Malaysia’s two longest road bridges, the Penang Bridge<\/a> and the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge<\/a>; the latter is also the second longest oversea bridge in Southeast Asia. The second smallest Malaysian state by land mass, Penang, is bordered by Kedah to the north and the east, and Perak to the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang<\/a> is located at the northern beach area of Penang Island, just 45 minutes from Penang International Airport. The hotel, which is the home of Malaysia’s first teddy bear museum (TeddyVille) is within a 20-minute drive to UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town and a 10-minute drive to Batu Ferringhi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
