The Danna, Langkawi
Category: 5-Star Luxury, Location: Pantai Kok
This is one hotel which not only takes you to a different level of five star luxury, but offers it with a charm that you can rarely find in any other hotel in the island. They have created a super fine blend of ambience with British old colonial and Mediterranean architectures, which is complimented with cordial and friendly service.
The resort is located in Telaga Harbor in Pantai Kok area and is nestled between the rolling mountains of Mat Cincang on one side and the ocean & harbor on the other side. As you turn around the corner, you will see the beautiful harbor and the marina where many sail boats and yachts are moored or sailing by... a picturesque setting.
And on one side and close to Perdana Quay is a 5-storeyed white building standing with glorious pride, The Danna. Although from outside the rectangular building looks quite simple, as you enter the lobby you get to feel the royal grandeur despite the fact that the hotel has not indulged in over opulence.
The Danna, Langkawi
Danna in Sanskrit means Gift. Indeed it is a great gift in life if you happen to experience a stay in the resort. In Danna, they believe that the guests must be treated like in a private home. So you don't check in at the lobby where there may be outside guests. They will take you to a quiet cornet that looks like a cozy living room. With dark wood and mellow red accents, the room reflects the old colonial charm... a place ideal for relaxing and reading a book on a rainy afternoon. This is where you will check in.
Another great and unique offering... as you walk in, you will be offered a complimentary head & shoulder massage. This is a great way of acknowledging that most guests travel long distances and reach a hotel worn out, and a 15-minute massage is a perfect way of kick starting the day.
There are several other unique services that are meticulously designed, for example a staff would come around and offer complementary sunglass cleaning service during your stay.
As you are escorted to your room, you will walk through long corridors, quiet lounges and dining areas before you reach your room.
