Iconic Majestic Hotel wins hearts of event planners


The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur has seen healthy interest from event planners since its opening last December. Built in 1932 as Majestic Hotel and shut down in 1983, the iconic building celebrated a grand reopening last December following a refurbishment by YTL Hotels.

According to the luxury property’s director of sales & marketing, Anna Olsson, The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur has been the venue of choice for several events such as F1 Gala Dinner 2013, The BrandLaureate Awards 2013 and other functions organised by the private banking sector and high-end brands. It has also hosted local wedding dinners with 800 to 1,200 people.

Olsson noted that the bulk of business for residential meetings had come from Singapore and Hong Kong, with China showing growing interest, while Australia and New Zealand produced incentive bookings. Meetings and incentives from the Middle East are also rising.

The property will work closely with The Leading Hotels of the World – it is the only hotel in the Malaysian capital to be included in the collection of properties under the luxury hospitality consortium – to attract more corporate interest and attend tradeshows such as IMEX to build further awareness of the hotel.
