GEORGE TOWN, May 22 — Frasers Hospitality has officially opened Capri by Fraser, Penang, marking the brand’s first property in Penang.

Located along Jalan Magazine near the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 22-storey hotel combines heritage architecture with contemporary lifestyle hospitality aimed at modern independent travellers.
