An Enchanted Christmas @ Olive Tree Hotel

The festivity scene at Olive Tree Hotel (GPS: 5.327201, 100.279068), Penang glows once again from the first week of December 2018 to 7 January 2019. For the third consecutive year, the hotel surroundings will be transformed into Christmas Land with huge, brightly lit Christmas trees, captivating decorations, reindeers and santa’s sleigh. Be sure to bring your family and friends, along with your best camera for some insta-worthy photos. We recently visited this popular hotel in Bayan Lepas area for a Christmas buffet preview session. Read more for the verdict and food photos on actual days.

We recently visited the 4-star hotel for their Buffet Luncheon and took this opportunity to try out some upcoming Christmas dishes. Strategically located near to Bayan Lepas industrial zone and just opposite of sPICE arena, Olive Tree Hotel is one of the famous places for company events, lunches and dinners. It can be even fully booked when sPICE is having functions so we recommend our readers to make reservation in advance.

To be honest, we were surprised with the crowd during our Sunday’s Buffet Luncheon in which tables were almost fully occupied with chefs busy replenishing empty food trays on buffet spread. We believed one of the main reasons being the competitive price. Overall, we were satisfied with the buffet especially on their cold cuts, grilled food and hot tray items. Presentation-wise, it is on par with 5-star hotels. Special thanks to a hotel representative, we obtained some photos (as shown in this blog post) on dishes you would expect during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day itself.
