- Heli PHelsinki, Finland6,360 contributionsBest on islandLocated between old Georgetown and Batu Feringhi resort area Gurney has managed to stay the top mall in Penang. Asians are now enthusiastic consumers of Western cosmetics which fill the ground floor combined with other world brands and jewellery stores. Further up are less expensive shops and restaurants serving food from all over the globe. The supermarket downstairs has been upgraded lately. There used to be a shallow bay of water in front of the mall, now it has been dried up to build yet more highrises.Visited February 2020Written 22 February 2020
- AllLos Angeles, California4 contributionsShopper's Paradise!I love Gurney Plaza! You will instantly feel welcome the moment you step into the store as the location is fabulous. Open door seating at the ground floor with the breathtaking view of the promenade as well as various indoor fine dining restaurants to choose from. You can only wish you had more time to explore all the stores! Not mentioning the most upscale Cold Storage in the basement which has the largest selection of fresh meat and seafood from the world over. It is the one place to visit for a family event or even for young couples as it is the most hip joint catering only to the in-crowds! An all in one shopping paradise which offers day spas and hair salons, luxury watches, fashion as well as a fantastic departmental store, not mentioning the best cineplex in town!Visited December 2019Written 16 July 2020

Marks &Spencer has a smaller shop here too on the ground floor where main tenants are big international luxury brands. The upper levels hold all mobile phone companies and several smaller local businesses, mainly fashion. The food market in the basement is excellent and is surrounded by restaurants and take aways for all tastes.Visited February 2023Written 12 February 2023

Wonderful shopping complex in Penang, Malaysia. A must stop spot for shopping, dining, entertainment for locals and tourists visiting Penang. Food court shows the diversity of cultures. Many Chinese restaurants, few Indians and one Arabic. Plenty of stalls, kiosks for desserts, juices and jewelry.

This mall truly stands out as a top-notch destination in Penang for shopping enthusiasts. The mall provides excellent amenities and facilities that ensure a comfortable and convenient shopping experience. Food enthusiasts will be delighted by the wide array of dining options available especially the Gurney Food Hall at 4th Floor. Cozy and clean environment to enjoy a vast variety of street food at reasonable pricing. Undeniably a must-visit destination when in Penang.

Pretty well anything you need can be found here and as importantly there are so many food options. The really big food court gets very busy during lunch time and even with so many tables it can get full! I can't think of a cuisine that is not here. Maybe some African?
Besides the food there's everything else you can imagine. Its clean, modern and has AC!

One of the more trendy mall in Penang. We spent half a day shopping, eating, drinking coffee as it was a stop over for our cruise trip. Will definitely return back in future if we visit Penang again.

Hi Angeline, original cakes are sold by a small but wonderful bakery on the lower ground floor. This can be found next to the Supermarket Cols Storage. The cake is fantastic although we only had the original cake they also sold a chocolate version the looked incredibly yummy! Hope this helps.

Hi "Lily t": Although I am not sure if wheel chairs are provided at this Mall.. I can say that it is not usual to find "freely available wheelchairs in Malls. But the best information can be accessed by contacting the mall directly. {as I have never had to request a wheelchair, I have no direct experience].
I hope that this has been at least somewhat useful....

Hi "Graceroom": The whole 22 acres/900,000+ square feet of shops, restaurants, entertainment, supermarket, department store is "readily accessible" for people in wheel chairs---- and, everything is air-conditioned!!
Enjoy your visit...
I hope that this was helpful [PS I do not work there nor own any shares... but do appreciate the quality of the services on offer to all]!!
