Marriott Residences at Gurney Drive is a prestigious branded residence and hotel complex located in a prime seafront location in Georgetown, Penang. It is part of a 55-storey mixed-development skyscraper, making it one of the tallest buildings in the city. The project marks the entry of the Marriott brand into Penang's branded residences market and is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.

Key Features and Description

• Location: Situated on Gurney Drive, a famous seafront promenade, the residence offers stunning sea and city views.

• Concept: The development is a mixed-use project that includes the Marriott Hotel, Marriott Executive Apartments, and 302 branded residential units. This integration allows residents to enjoy the luxury and convenience of hotel services while living in a private residence.
