Stayed at Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort - Penang, Malaysia.

Over the years, the surrounding community of Batu Ferringhi has taken on a life of its own. At night, the road outside the hotel comes alive with stalls selling an astonishing variety of products, while the night markets offer an incredible array of ethnic cuisines at hawker stall prices. All of it is safe to eat, and everything that I tried was authentic and delicious. In addition, there are mini-marts for those who wish to avoid the in-room mini-bar, and internet cafes for those who wish to avoid the higher prices in the hotel business centre. Those who wish to spend all of their time in Georgetown will find the hotel a bit distant; it's 30 minutes each way on the shuttle, or about 25-30 Ringgit for a cab that won't get you there much faster.
In any event, much of the action has moved out of Georgetown to suburbs like Batu Ferringhi, so for shopping and dining, there is increasingly little justification to concentrate on Georgetown proper. The city is best simply for walking through history: the Heritage Trust is the most active in Asia, and they have (and are) doing a wonderful job preserving the architectural and cultural heritage of this wonderfully diverse island. If Singapore is not to your liking, then Penang should be!

I just went to Penang to get a Thai Visa. It is a clean city and the people are very pleasant. Probably a good tourist destination.
