Best Western has opened its first hotel in Kuala Lumpur; the Best Western Premier Dua Sentral.
Launched earlier this month, the new upscale hotel marks Best Western’s debut in the Malaysian capital, and also the debut of the Best Western Premier brand in the country. It will now become Best Western’s flagship hotel in Malaysia.
Located at the KL Sentral transport hub, the new property features 364 rooms ranging from 34 to 183m² and all including LCD interactive TVs, DVD players, iPod docking stations and free in-room internet access.
“We are delighted to open this stunning new hotel and introduce our Best Western Premier brand to Malaysia,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western’s Vice President of International Operations for Asia & the Middle East. “The location is perfect – just minutes from both the city and airport, it is the ideal place from which to base a business or leisure trip. The hotel’s exquisite facilities also make it wonderful destination in its own right.”
Facilities at the hotel include three restaurants, a swimming pool, spa and eight function rooms.
The opening of the Best Western Premier Dua Sentral marks the latest stage in the company’s Malaysia expansion. Also opening in 2012 will be the Best Western Wana Riverside Hotel in Melaka, while future developments will see new Best Western hotels rise in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Klang, Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya. In total, Best Western will operate 11 properties in Malaysia by 2015, offering more than 1,700 rooms across nine destinations.
