Abstract
Penang is the main tourism island which appeals an increasing number of
travellers each year. Therefore, the hotels in Penang play a crucial role in the field of
Penang tourism. However, recently some problems with the Penang hotels have been
brought to light frequently by travellers including domestic and foreign tourists. The
reason for this may be due to irregular maintenance as well as the fact that the renewal of
the building elements may not have been duly carried out. In light of that, this research
investigated the condition of the maintenance and renewal cycle of the building elements
of the hotels in Penang. This study was conducted with a quantitative method, using a
questionnaire to collect information regarding the condition of maintenance, evaluation of
the condition of the building elements and the frequency of building elements renewal.
The results revealed that each building element renewal cycle is differing according to the
effects of maintenance and its lifespan. In terms of comparison with the renewals in
Singapore hotels, there are shortcomings involved in the schedule of element renewals
carried out in Penang.
