Hotel Location
Facing the horizon of the great Andaman Sea, the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang
Resort & Spa is located along the northern shoreline of Penang, Malaysia's
Pearl of the Orient.
The resort embraces the best of contemporary Malaysian architecture.
Its two wings are seamlessly integrated within a beautifully-landscaped
30-acre tropical garden that gracefully descends onto the sands of Batu
Feringghi beach (literally 'Foreigner's Rock' in old Malay).
The Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa takes its name from an old Malay folk
song that also means 'a feeling of love'. It is little wonder where this
beautiful resort takes its inspiration from, as guests will fall in love
with its luxurious setting.
The resort has played host to some of the world's most recognisable names;
from royalty and prime ministers to celebrities and the rich and famous.
Through the years, ours guests have included 'Lifestyle of the Rich and
Famous' host Robin Leach, romance novelist Barbara Cartland, Hollywood
celebrity Stephanie Powers, former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk and
former Chinese Presidents Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Hu Jin Tao.
With a long heritage in Penang, the Rasa Sayang has borne witness to the
state's transformation from a free port to an industrialised one, and
as an island getaway to a rich heritage city. Perhaps Leach's famous 'champagne
wishes and caviar dreams' toast best sums up the resort's promise of indulgence
to its guests.

Resort and Spa offers 304 luxurious guest rooms.
