OUR STORY
Runnymede has been building in Malaysia since 1994, under a name that is older still: it comes from the Runnymede Hotel on George Town’s Millionaire’s Row.
Who we are · Runnymede Group
The ‘Runnymede’ brand was derived from the Andaman seafront heritage building, known as the Runnymede Hotel, along the historic Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, better known as the Millionaire’s Row in George Town, Penang.
