Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels and resorts across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The company is known for personalised service, strong guest relationships and high standards in accommodation, dining, wellness and meetings and events. In Malaysia, Shangri-La operates several established properties, including Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa and Golden Sands Resort in Batu Ferringhi, Penang. These resorts serve leisure travellers, families, corporate groups and wedding clients. Employees generally work in a multicultural environment with opportunities to develop skills across hotel operations, guest service and event management. Benefits and employment terms vary by property, position and experience.
Penang is a Malaysian island known for George Town’s UNESCO-listed heritage streets, diverse Malay, Chinese and Indian culture, excellent food and relaxed coastal living. Batu Ferringhi, where the Shangri-La resorts are located, offers beaches, watersports, restaurants and a quieter resort atmosphere, while George Town provides wider career opportunities in tourism, events, technology, education and services. Living costs are generally lower than Kuala Lumpur, although accommodation near the beach can be more expensive. Public buses, taxis and ride-hailing services make travel practical, and Penang International Airport provides regional connections. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and an approved Malaysian Employment Pass before starting work; dependants may require separate permissions. Applicants should confirm visa rules, salary, accommodation, insurance and relocation support directly with the employer.
