Deliciously Me

I had the opportunities to have a look at this famous hotel – Hard Rock Hotel Penang on the 2nd day of Raya, but due to my blurness of not bringing DSLR to wherever I go, no pictures were taken that day. *wuuwuu*

LUCKILY, I have the chance to visit them again last Friday! *wheee*

The ‘laugh-die-me’ gang planned to have a ‘GIRLS NIGHT OUT’ at Hard Rock Cafe on Friday and I decided to join them! We’re supposed to meet up at 10, but due to some unforeseen circumstances we reached there at about 10.30 pm.

I was so excited to be there, but not as excited as the first time when I walked in.The hotel looks simple from outside, the coconut trees decorating the ‘tak-cukup-bays-punya-car-park‘ – giving me the oasis feel.

Upon walking into the hotel, the changeable colour neon lights bearing the name greeted us. I could say that is the most photographed place or should I say thing in the hotel. Why? Because every Tom, ah Beng, Abu, Muthusamy will be snapping this – either using camera or hp.

Can you spot a reflected logo on top? Hehe.

From the outer look, one could have just thought that hotel is like any other hotel we have, a normal lobby, normal reception place, normal cafe, etc2. But we were proven VERY wrong.

Imagine you walking to the reception counter and a bar at the same time!

Yes, you can order a drink while waiting/checking in. Cool isn’t it?

If that’s cool, how about a lobby with comfy long sofas for projector showing MVs,  tables and chairs to play scrabbles and backgammons?

Looks inviting right?

The best thing you can do there would be sitting at the round sofa like what I did (the sofa damn nice – I almost doze off) and….

stare into the biggest pool in Penang! Hoho!

Too bad we were checking out the hotel at 1 in the morning. If not, a live band would be playing and singing in the lobby daily to the guests there. Jugglers and entertainers would be doing something entertaining to the guests.

How I know about these?

Because I saw them during my first visit with my family members. XD

What I love about the hotel is their creative and artistic ways of exhibiting artworks!

They just put on the artworks on canvas stand and on floor and voilà -  an art gallery! And that includes the belt Q-up stands too! XD

To show more of their creative side, they put in mannequins dressed in the Elvis Presley type of suit behind the glass panes for the guests to admire them! As for the empty wall behind the mannequins, music records, musical instruments and photographs of rock-ish era are hung up.

Seems like HRH managements are into Beatles, because I saw them everywhereeeeee….

..at the entrance..

..near the lift area..

..beautifully done on the wall, next to the Starz diner.. i love this the most, so unique!

Who would have imagine making a gigantic flower pot for a big plant? HRH would. And it’s soooo cute can! I want one for my home!

Unfortunately, I’m unable to show you the room as I didn’t stay a night there. Very very broke now and having a night there at HRH would be like a suicidal case to my wallet! Btw, they’re having a opening promo at RM368++ on weekdays until 18th December. So anyone wanna sponsor me Rm300? Hehe!

A visit wouldn’t be complete without visiting the toilet.

However, the toilet is kinda disappointing. First, it’s dirty. I understand it’s 1 something in the morning, BUT it shouldn’t be an excuse for such a luxury hotel. Second, few of the cubicle’s door couldn’t latch properly! My friend was in toilet and a girl (thinking that the cubicle was empty) managed to knock the door open! Luckily she’s already done doing whatever she’s doing. Third, the toilet smells weird. Don’t ask me why. Lol!

But I’m pretty sure the toilet is not like that during daylight – I hope I’m right in saying so. Haha!

That’s all I can write about HRH. I think I’ve covered most of the part in the hotel, except for the pool. We were prohibited from going to the pool. So it’s kinda potong stim as I believe the pictures taken from there and at there would be nice. *wuuwuu*

… and no, I didn’t take picture with the famous guitar cz I’m lazy. Haha!
