Gurney Plaza

Looking for a nice place to cool down after roaming around Penang? Then come to Gurney Plaza for a cooling and fun shopping experience. Even if you are not looking for stuff or just window shopping, this is the place to be. Don’t forget to try the food variety at the lower ground floor

Great mall. Great run. But rainy. 10/10 Thank you @Score for organising this run! Also you can grab a free copy of Penang Monthly (AirAsia Redrun Penang on 28th September 2025)

The Right Place for Dining (Visited on 8-11 September 2025) The interior of Plaza Gurney might seem dated (the mall had exist for more than 20 years), but in term of tenants that occupied the retail space were competitive enough to complete with newer mall. Many popular retail brands can be found at here. Some of the brands were luxury brands. The most favorite part was the F&B tenants. Plaza Gurney had plenty choice of F&B tenants, including the food court. The cuisine selection were very diverse, from Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Peranakan, and Western. Pretty sure for some people would be overwhelmed with the varieties of the tenants. The writer ended up visited Plaza Gurney solely for had dining at there. Highly recommended for those are seeking mall for dining.

It’s a really nice mall and not too crowded, especially on Mondays. We enjoyed some shopping here since you can find almost anything you need under one roof. The food hall is also a great spot to grab dinner, offering plenty of cuisine choices to suit different tastes.

This is one of the most popular shopping mall in Penang. It has been around for a long time, yet it is still very popular now. The mall is well maintained and received constant upgrades to enhance it's competitive edge. It has an advantage over larger mall where you don't have to walk too long distance to get something.

This mall has almost everything that you might need. From pharmacy, snack and coffee, supermarket, clothing, food court, even fitness, sport, pet shop. Strategically located near hotels, hospitals.

The department store and plaza were lively, full of shops and many food options to choose from.

Very convenient many branded shops. Good shopping center with decent food court

Mall in Georgetown that has everything you need. I came here for the local pharmacy and to get some skincare. Not only were there numerous options, I ended up staying a while and exploring all the food options! The bakeries in the mall are great as well. Biggest downsides is that it is touristy and navigation is hard - I couldn't find a store directory or anything. You have to just plan to roam around for a while or use Maps. Wish I had more time to explore :)

High end stores to check out and yummy places to eat. We took the hotel shuttle down so we could wander around. It turned into a sampling of desserts with lunch in between. We walked into Watsons for first aid stuff, looked at jewelry at Wah Chan, had some Haagen Dazs and Famous Amos. Went into Hugo Boss and Adidas. Checked out Leica cameras - very cool. Mostly window shopped as luxury brands. Staff were very nice. Clean and comfortable in the air conditioning.

Oh great, another huge shopping centre that I can get completely lost in because there are no information booths, and all the information panels aren't working. Seriously, at least in KL they had some people sitting in a booth to tell me what to look for and where to go (politely of course), but not, not this one. Let's just assume that everybody has intuition to be able to actually find a place that sells a bowl and spoon. It's not as if they don't have any time on their hands, or their mobile phone happens to be working. Yeah, inconvenience.

Guerney Plaza Penang Shops look better now. Not sure if they have refurbished the place. 8 levels of shops. A good variety of shops. Love the sticker label shop

There are three main malls on the Penang Island. And sixteen more being constructed as we speak. Gurney Plaza is and mine and many of my coworker's favorite in variety of stores and location. GP is located on Gurney Drive (makes sense) a short walk away from the more luxurious and newer Paragon Mall. There's a Parkson Department store on one end of the mall along with a mix of popular fashion stores (Top Shop/Man, H&M, Mango, Guess etc) on the first floor and smaller boutique stores on the upper stores. On the seventh floor is a fitness center, Jatomi Gym, and a movie theater. Best features of this mall: + Cold Storage on the basement level + Indoor food stalls and restaurants (also basement level) + Nando's + Outside seating and cafe area between GP and G hotel I'm not a fan of: - Their parking garage is a maze/black hole - Escalators are only accessible from the parking area which is a maze/blackhole - Crowds... especially during the peak travel seasons and holidays

This is one of the favourite for to go for lunch and tea time. and all the service crew was friendly and inform customers about daily specials, suggestions desserts and beverages. And food and beverages price is reasonable.

Wanna go somewhere where familiar brands are found even when you are away from home? this is your plaza! Run by capitmall so it's not surprising the layout and brand names available are not strange to Singaporeans. Easy to get to if you use a taxi or Grab.

Squidboy in gurney plaza sucks when it comes to service, they have 4 people behind the counter but took 15 minutes to serve 3 people as the owner kept fussing around behind the counter even if she doesnt know what she is doing...

This is a large, modern mall that is seemingly in transition, with several stores closed -- but still labeled on the maps and directional signs throughout the mall -- and several renovation projects in progress. (It's actually kind of a weird mixed feel between a modern mall and an older, worn one to me, but I felt that the modern feel prevailed.) There are a few twists and turns to what at first glance can seem to be a relatively straightforward mall -- several floors have additional halls, and a few of those halls connect to an additional three- or four-story section of further shops (mostly stores selling shoes, wellness, and younger-person-focused fashion). While it had steady business when I visited, I still found the mall to be somewhat quiet and boring; that said, I liked the liveliness of the loud and bustling underground floor, where there are numerous restaurants and food stalls, plus a wide variety of stores selling everyday basics. Speaking of food, there are several restaurants throughout the mall, plus a large outdoor area with 10 or so restaurants and bars. A movie theater is located on the top floor, and there are at least a couple of arcades and a laser tag venue. The front of the mall once was across the road from the Strait of Malacca, but it now looks out on a construction desert of a massive land reclamation project.

Gurney plaza is a famous mall in Penang, and the best, to my opinion. Is is a high class shopping mall, so if you want a bargain, it is not a place for you.
