Hard Rock (And Pool) Nearly Open in Malaysia

Where: Eden Parade, Jalan Sungai Emas, Batu Ferringhi, Penang, Malaysia, 11100

When we first heard about the Hard Rock Hotel Penang--the first Hard Rock hotel to set up shop in Malaysia--we expected it'd be open by now.

The 2008 opening has now slipped back to a promise of a mid-2009 start. They've only just appointed a general manager although he's already busy hyping up the place--with the main message being that the whole concept of the hotel will make it something unique in Malaysia.

What's rocking us more than the whole Hard Rock thing is simply their "free-form" pool. It's the largest pool in Penang, they say, and for a tropical resort area we figure that's actually an impressive title. Doesn't look so huge from the pictures though so we're hoping Hard Rock isn't lying to us. We love great pools.
