A work trip to Penang doesn’t have to revolve around meetings and hotel rooms. At Capri by Fraser, Penang, business travellers can keep up with their schedules while making time to experience George Town.
Opened in May 2026, the 22-storey hotel residence occupies a central address on Jalan Magazine, surrounded by historic shophouses and within walking distance of shopping centres, street food and cultural attractions.
Its 248 rooms and residences, contemporary interiors and technology-led facilities cater to travellers balancing work commitments with time in the city.
Designed for work and downtime
Capri by Fraser, Penang takes a lively approach to business accommodation, with shared spaces that accommodate working, socialising and relaxation.
At The Den, guests can catch up on emails, take a break between appointments or grab something on the go. A digital concierge provides access to hotel services and local recommendations, while the 24-hour gym makes it easy to fit exercise around an unpredictable schedule.
After work, head to the sheltered swimming pool, sauna or jacuzzi. The hotel also has three EV charging stations and an automated car park for guests travelling by car.
Even laundry comes with a social element. Spin & Play combines a launderette with games and communal areas, giving guests a place to spend time while taking care of the essentials.
Working around your schedule
The hotel’s 248 rooms and residences pair contemporary interiors with technology-led conveniences and design details inspired by Penang’s cultural heritage.
They’re designed for business and leisure travellers who need a comfortable place to work, rest and recharge between outings. Selected accommodation also features kitchenettes, adding flexibility for longer visits.
Local touches give the rooms a connection to George Town. Look out for handcrafted mugs by Penang-based Seramitha Studio and drip coffee from Norm Micro Roastery, two of the local businesses featured through the hotel’s collaborations.

Make time for these experiences
For meals and after-work drinks, Palm House brings all-day dining to a collection of preserved heritage shophouses. The restaurant and bar offers a change of setting from the hotel’s contemporary interiors, making it a convenient choice for business lunches, informal meetings or dinner.
Planning an event? The Pod 1 & 2 provide flexible spaces for meetings, workshops and private functions. For something with a view, Penaga23 is a rooftop venue enclosed by 270-degree glass panels, overlooking George Town and Komtar.
