Millennium Hotels and Resorts to Launch M Social Resort Penang in March 2025

Millennium Hotels and Resorts is set to expand its upscale lifestyle brand, M Social, with the launch of its seventh property—M Social Resort Penang. Formerly known as Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang, the rebranded resort will open in phases beginning March 1, 2025.

Located in the scenic coastal area of Tanjung Bungah, George Town, the resort features 318 stylish rooms and suites across two distinct wings. Guests can enjoy an outdoor pool, a 24/7 gym, and proximity to popular attractions like Gurney Plaza, Gurney Paragon Mall, and Penang Street Art, offering a blend of relaxation and cultural discovery.

The resort’s design draws inspiration from the vibrant Peranakan shophouses, paired with the natural beauty of the surrounding island. Bright, playful hues of pink, green, and blue, reflecting the sea and lush landscapes, dominate the resort’s facade and interiors, creating a striking visual appeal.

Two Distinct Wings for a Tailored Stay

The resort is divided into two wings to cater to different preferences:

• The Sunset Bay Wing: Offers four room types with breathtaking views of Penang’s northern coast.
• The Azure Wing: Features three room types, ideal for families and small groups, boasting direct beachfront access.

Each room is equipped with an Aiello voice control system, providing guests with effortless control over room features and access to hotel services through simple voice commands.

Modern Amenities for Work and Play

The 482-square-meter Grand Ballroom provides a flexible venue for business events and celebrations, supported by state-of-the-art facilities.

The resort’s design artfully blends heritage and modernity, celebrating George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage status. Influenced by the cultural fusion of Chinese, Malay, and European elements, the interiors showcase intricate geometric patterns inspired by traditional tiles, while floral motifs honor the Malay word “bunga,” meaning flower.

The palette of rose pink, sea green, sky blue, and cream echoes the vivid streetscapes of Penang and the island’s serene natural surroundings, inviting guests to experience the area’s rich history and scenic beauty.

Culinary Highlights and Social Spaces

M Social Resort Penang houses the signature restaurant, Beast and Butterflies, offering a mix of authentic Peranakan dishes and international favorites made from fresh, local ingredients.

For a relaxed social experience, guests can visit The Social Hub, a lounge perfect for enjoying high tea or cocktails. Outdoors, Breezy Bites, the poolside bar, serves up light snacks and drinks, creating a lively space with music, games, and poolside entertainment.
