Hotel with revolving skybar in Penang


Dr Che Lah and wife Mariah at a revolving skybar of a hotel in Penang.

I am uncertain of the name of the hotel in this photo. There is only one hotel in Penang with a revolving skybar. The hotel has changed name 3 times.
  1. Georgetown City Hotel
  2. Berjaya Penang Hotel
  3. Three Sixty Revolving Restaurant, Bayview Hotel, George Town

There are clean bright orange brick roof tiles in the brightly lit background at left. This points to the 1970s.

The glass panes are the same in coloured photos today as they were back then - they tilt outward.

There is a half-height railing  all around in this photo, which has been replaced with opaque panels today.

The furniture points to that of the 1970s. The chairs are characteristic with round armrests. The tables are round. The chairs and tables are arranged close together.

The tall glasses (real glass) were used in the 1970s. Nowadays they are replaced with colourful plastic tall glasses.

In the old days, tissues were served as in this photo. Nowadays tissues are placed flat on the table, and limited to one tissue per customer.
