EQUATORIAL PENANG

Perched 150 metres above sea level on a lush 5-acre hilltop, Equatorial Penang has been one of the island’s most iconic five-star addresses since first opening its doors in 1989 as the south’s first five-star hotel. Overlooking Penang’s only championship 18-hole golf course, the property sits just minutes from Penang International Airport, the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone and George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The reimagined Equatorial Penang introduces 412 elegantly appointed rooms, Penang’s largest column-free ballroom, and an elevated wellness experience at the returning Sanctum Wellness Centre — alongside a temperature-controlled outdoor saline pool and a host of thoughtfully enhanced facilities, all within a proudly LEED Gold certified environment.

With an official reopening scheduled for April 2027, Equatorial Penang invites guests to rediscover this legendary hilltop sanctuary — where decades of legacy meet a bold new beginning.
