Penang Island is in the expansion map of STARWOOD Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc, which operates hotel brands like Sheraton, Westin and Le Meridien according to the Business Times report.
The group, which is bullish about the future of the local hospitality industry, is in various stages of negotiations to expand its footprint in the country.
Its on-going talks could result in the group having representations outside the prime locations of Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi.
The group hopes to expand its brands to include Penang, Malacca and the Iskandar Development Region in Johor.
The brand best suited for the location will be used, even if the brand is already in the locality nearby.
Starwood has nine hotel brands including Four Points by Sheraton, The Luxury Collection, St Regis, W Hotels and a loft.
Today, Starwood operates eight hotels in Malaysia with a total room inventory of 2,800. These hotels include Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur, Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort, The Westin Kuala Lumpur, The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa and Four Points by Sheraton Kuching.
The Starwood family in Malaysia is set to grow with two new confirmed openings - the 300-room Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, Sabah in 2011 and a 200-room luxury category The St Regis Kuala Lumpur in 2014.
When the hotel opens, it will join at least two other luxury brands which are scheduled to open at an earlier date - Four Seasons Place in Kuala Lumpur and The Raffles Kuala Lumpur.
Worldwide, the Starwood group operates 950 hotels in 100 countries with a total room inventory of 287,000.
