Patrons can sit back and unwind after a long day on a raised deck that comes with a stylish wooden bar in an open-air concept.

In addition to that, the party cum relaxing environment is exemplified by its upbeat but yet relaxing music and décor .The result is a place that is both unpretentious and stress releasing at the same time.
In fact, this tree that the Tree Bar is nestled under is derived from the species name “Albizia Saman” which is also known as the ‘rain tree’. Its leaves folds during the rainy weather and in the evening, hence the name that is known to the locals – “five o’clock” tree (“Pukul Lima” in Bahasa Malaysia). Not wanting to ruin the atmosphere by cutting the 80 over years old tree down, G Hotel decided to make good use of the space around it and in turn, ‘killing two birds with one stone’ – providing for guests while saving the environment.
