InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has
signed an agreement with Malaysian property developers Yuk Tung Properties to
build a Crowne Plaza hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Scheduled to open by 2021, the Crowne Plaza
Kuala Lumpur City Centre will have 338 rooms, and facilities such as an outdoor
swimming pool, gym, business centre, seven versatile meeting spaces and an
all-day dining restaurant. It will be located along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng in the
city centre, within walking distance from the Petronas Twin Towers.
Leanne Harwood, IHG’s vice president,
operations, South-east Asia and Korea, commented: “With the AEC coming together
we see greater opportunities for intra-regional travel. Coupled with the launch
of the High Speed Rail linking Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in 2026, we’re
confident the city will welcome even more visitors in the coming years.”
Crowne
Plaza has some 400 hotels in more than 63 countries worldwide, including 71
hotels across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
