Rendering of the upcoming property

Wyndham Acmar Klang will open in 3Q2019 as the first international upscale hotel in the Malaysian city of Klang.

Housing KLIA, Malaysia’s main international air gateway, and Port Klang, one of the world’s busiest container ports and Kuala Lumpur’s main cruise hub, Klang is an integral part of Malaysia’s national economy.

“As the commercial gateway to Malaysia and a highly connected urban centre, Klang is at the core of Malaysia’s economic success. The entire Klang Valley area is enjoying tremendous growth making this an (opportune time) to introduce a world-class hotel,” said Joon Aun Ooi, president and managing director, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, South-east Asia and Pacific Rim.

Wyndham Acmar Klang will offer 488 guestrooms across two wings – from Deluxe Rooms to 188 suites. Guests staying in the suites can also make use of the Executive Lounge which provides private check-in, daily breakfast and all-day drinks and snacks.

For meetings and events, the hotel has a Grand Ballroom seating up to 2,200 guests. A selection of 11 other flexible spaces provides options for every type of event.

Facilities include an outdoor pool, spa, fitness centre, retail outlets and a selection of dining venues including Japanese and Chinese restaurants and an all-day dining outlet serving Malaysian favourites and Western cuisine. Also available are a lobby lounge; pool bar; and a sky lounge.

At present, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has a portfolio of four hotels and resorts across Malaysia, including a Days Hotel & Suites property in Kuala Lumpur and Ramada-branded hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Melaka and Johor Bahru.
