2nd biggest GCS Cineplex in Malaysia
Plaza Gurney's anchor tenant is Parkson. There is a huge Golden Screen Cinemas Cineplex with 12 screens making this the 2nd biggest GCS in Malaysia after the one at Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur. In 2008 a new wing opened to public; adding 150,000sq ft of retail space to Plaza Gurney. Right next to Plaza Gurney you can find the wonderful 5 star G Hotel. This is definitely one of the best hotels at the island, and a perfect place to stay if you fancy a bit of shopping.
Gurney Plaza is easy to find, every taxi driver knows the mall. You can also go by bus. When you travel from Batu Ferringhi, you take the bus to Georgetown. From the center of Georgetown you take the bus to Batu Ferringhi. Give the driver a notice in advance that you need to get out at Gurney Drive and the driver will indicate when you're almost there so you can press the stop button to get out. Usually you will get out of the bus at the big roundabout. From there it is a 5 minute walk to the main entrance (which is located at the sea side).
