Olive Tree Hotel sits on Jalan Mahsuri in Bayan Lepas, on the southern, business side of Penang island, a short hop from the airport and the SPICE convention centre. It bills itself as the region's first green business hotel, and the shape of the place follows that brief: an outdoor pool and fitness centre for guests, but the real weight is in the meeting rooms, the function space and a grand ballroom that seats up to 900.

Olive Tree Hotel is an upscale business hotel at 76 Jalan Mahsuri, Bayan Lepas (11950), in southern Penang island near the airport. It markets itself as the region's first green business hotel, with a strong events and MICE focus: eight to nine meeting rooms, flexible function space and a grand ballroom seating up to 900 guests, plus a business centre with high-speed WiFi and LAN lines. Guest facilities include an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre, and dining runs across Selah Café and the Sukkah Restaurant. Rooms come in five tiers — Deluxe, Premier Deluxe, Olive Deluxe, Executive Deluxe and Executive Suite. The location is built for business and events rather than sightseeing: the SPICE convention and exhibition centre (a hybrid solar-powered complex) is just steps away, Penang International Airport and Queensbay Mall are close by, and George Town's heritage core is a 20 to 30 minute drive north. It suits conference delegates, exhibition-goers and airport-side stays more than a heritage holiday.
