Family-Friendly: Kids Club with various activities

“Palette Penang, formerly Wow Hotel, strikes me as a decent family base right in George Town's heart; the rooftop jacuzzi is a definite plus. I think the in-house games room and kids club also add a nice touch for those travelling with children. It's worth noting that while centrally located, the building shows its age with some wear and tear.”
