A Contemporary Expression of Penang's Peranakan Heritage. Located in Penang, Iconic Marjorie Penang draws inspiration from the island's rich Baba-Nyonya and Peranakan heritage. The hotel's architecture, interiors, dining concepts and guest spaces offer a contemporary interpretation of this distinctive cultural identity.

With 298 guestrooms and suites, Iconic Marjorie Penang provides a stylish urban setting for both leisure and business travellers. Thoughtful design details throughout the property create a stay that feels distinctly Penang while offering the comfort and convenience expected of a modern city hotel.
Dining, Wellness and Rooftop Experiences The hotel's lifestyle concept extends across its dining, leisure and wellness facilities. At Tiffin Hall, guests can explore a selection of Malaysian and international flavours in a welcoming setting inspired by the communal dining traditions of the region. For a more relaxed experience, Loom & Leafs Lounge provides a comfortable space for afternoon tea, casual meetings and social gatherings. High above the city, Senses Bar combines poolside relaxation with panoramic views of Penang's skyline.

Wellness is also an integral part of the hotel's lifestyle offering. Located on Level 13, WellNest Spa features massages, facials, body scrubs and express treatments inspired by Penang's Peranakan heritage. The spa blends traditional healing practices with contemporary wellness rituals in an art-inspired environment.
Southeast Asia's First Sanrio Characters Peranakan-Themed Rooms One of Iconic Marjorie Penang's most distinctive experiences is its collaboration with Sanrio Southeast Asia.
