“It gives us great pleasure to launch our country’s first<br />
Courtyard by Marriott here in Penang. It marks the launch<br />
of our second hotel from the Marriott Group, in line with<br />
our strategy to strengthen our investment portfolio and<br />
increase our recurring income stream. We recognise that<br />
Ballroom<br />
this is a challenging time for hotel operators, however with<br />
the support and swift action from both state and federal<br />
governments in controlling and combating COVID-19,<br />
we are optimistic that the local tourism scene is slowly<br />
but steadily recovering even as our international borders<br />
remain closed,” said Mr Dion Tan.<br />

from RM300 nett per room per night, with complimentary<br />
