DoubleTree Resort by Hilton is a stay-put family beach resort at Batu Ferringhi: two lagoon pools, a Kids Club, an on-site toy museum and a games arcade keep children busy, with the beach a short bridge walk away. It is a resort base, not a sightseeing one.
DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang is a beach resort on Jalan Low Yat at Miami Beach in Batu Ferringhi, on Penang's northern beach strip. The resort is built around families and longer, stay-put holidays: it has two lagoon-style swimming pools, the eforea Spa, a 24/7 fitness centre, the Makan Kitchen restaurant and the Axis Lounge, plus a Kids Club, a games arcade and the on-site TeddyVille Museum, with meeting rooms, concierge, EV charging, free parking and free WiFi. The white-sand beach at Miami Beach is reached across an overhead bridge from the grounds. The trade-off is distance: Batu Ferringhi is around 30 to 40 minutes from George Town, so this works best as a relaxed resort base rather than somewhere to sightsee the old town from each day.
