The luxurious Hard Rock Hotel Penang caters to families with all-ages pampering and nonstop entertainment. The chain outpost blends its familiar rock 'n' roll branded theme with kid-friendly amenities, and has a prime location along a sandy stretch of Batu Ferringhi Beach. Waterslides are shouting distance from thatched-roof poolside cabanas, and with six bars and restaurants, refreshments are always within easy reach. The rooms have rainfall showers, while suites add access to a VIP lounge with free breakfast; they are looking a bit dated for this category despite refurbishments in 2016.
