Staycation At The Light Hotel Penang, 5 Star Premier Business Hotel in Seberang Jaya, Penang

Since I rant about food a lot, many would have known by now that I am from Penang. It was a lucky coincident that as I had to head Penang for an occasion, I was also invited to The Light Hotel Penang for a stay.

So, I pleasantly planned a staycation with my mum as she was the only one who was available. The moment I reached The Light Hotel I was in awe. I understood why they named the hotel as The Light Hotel.

The lights or chandelier was so pretty and breathtaking! I didn't struggle to find my way at the Hotel as I was guided throughout. Strategically located in the prime business district, The Light Hotel Penang captures the buzz and vibrancy of local culture with its 303 well-appointed spacious guestrooms and suites, 12 diverse meeting rooms with dining options.

I was rather excited to see my room as the place was rather huge and sophisticated. While the room was contemporary as I imagined and wished for, what I loved about my room, even more, was it was rather spacious. I had an office table where I could use my laptop and do my work.

There were a place to sit and have coffee at a corner. The was a smart television with interesting channels. Not to forget, my view from the hotel was also beautiful.

As usual, the first thing I checked was if they had a hairdryer and yes they had a lot of amenities like hairdryer, iron board, water heater to make coffee, plenty of places to charge, and they also prepared a high degree of accessibility with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the hotel.

Right after putting our bags and getting some rest, we headed to Spice Brasserie for High TeaTime. The Light Hotel definitely didn't compromise on the food quality as I loved each and every snack that was served. Their High Tea set is rather unique as they had the first plate of western dessert like cakes, then the second plate was full of Malay snacks and the third plate was all Chinese snacks.

Especially the chocolate cake and cheesecake. We were also recommended to try their Char Keow Teow made by their Signature Chef, I was more than just glad that I tried. It was truly one of the best Char Keow Teow I have had in Penang and it is agreed by my mum. So, you all know that my mum is always right.

Then, in the evening I was able to walk around the Hotel for a while. It has 2 restaurants alongside an open-air bar and exclusive lounge namely; Spice Brasserie an all-day dining restaurant serving western and locals’ favourites and this lively restaurant are open for three meals a day 365 days a year.

We had a Seafood Buffet where I was able to eat ample of seafood like the fresh oyster, huge tiger prawn, crab, and varieties of foods. They also had another section with Indian food where they served mutton curry and porriyals.

Right after dinner, we went and chilled at the Garden Bar where we all were talking for hours. Flavour@3 exudes an elegant ambience serving fusion cuisine, Garden Bar, a great place to chill out and enjoy alfresco dining & Lumino Lounge offering good cigar and premium spirits.

To chill next to the pool with a good company and a great drink at night is all I need during a staycation!

I started off my morning with a Star newspaper at my doorstep. It was surprising indeed for me. I anticipated a light breakfast but the varieties at the Spice Brasserie for breakfast was ample that I was so spoilt.

I ordered my mocha and had a heavy breakfast for a longer period of time.
