The G Hotel in Penang recently hosted its much-anticipated staff party, themed “Cinematic Character Night,” at its grand ballroom recently.
Team members from both G Hotel Gurney and G Hotel Kelawai came together for an evening filled with fun, laughter, and camaraderie.
The ballroom was transformed into a dazzling, movie-inspired wonderland, with staff dressed as their favourite on-screen characters — from daring superheroes and iconic villains to beloved fantasy figures and Hollywood stars.
In his welcome speech, General Manager Michael Hanratty expressed heartfelt appreciation to the entire team for their unwavering dedication and teamwork, which have driven G Hotel’s success throughout the year.
“In today’s dynamic hospitality landscape, every challenge presents not just change, but opportunity,” said Michael.
“Our greatest strength lies in our people — their passion, teamwork, and dedication continually elevate our standards and uphold G Hotel’s reputation for excellence in the hospitality industry.”
Guests were treated to an indulgent international buffet, featuring an impressive spread of Western favourites, Japanese delights, and local Malaysian classics. Adding a personal touch to the evening, the owners and Heads of Department (HODs) served food to team members — a heartfelt gesture of gratitude and humility that perfectly embodied the spirit of unity and appreciation that defines G Hotel’s culture.
The night continued with lively staff performances from the Food & Beverage, Housekeeping, Front Office, and Reservations departments, showcasing the creativity and talent of the G Hotel team.
One of the evening’s highlights was the Long Service Awards, celebrating employees who have demonstrated years of loyalty, excellence, and dedication to the G Hotel family.
