Fairmont seals deal for Kuala Lumpur high-rise hotel
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to continue its push into the Southeast Asia market by opening a 62-storey luxury hotel and spa in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development in 2017.
Fairmont’s parent company, FRHI Hotels & Resorts (FRHI), has signed a deal with CITITOWER SDN BHD (a joint venture between Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company and KLCC Holdings Sdn Bhd) to launch its first property in Malaysia.
The 750-room facility will feature six dining outlets, 2,787sq m (30,000sq ft) of meeting and banquet space and recreational facilities including a swimming pool, health club and spa.
It will form part of a Pelli Clarke Architects-designed project - nestled in the KLCC development near to the PETRONAS Twin Towers, the tallest twin buildings in the world - which will also encompass one high-rise office tower, connected to the hotel via a six-storey retail podium.
"Fairmont Kuala Lumpur is an important milestone for both our brand and for FRHI," says Jennifer Fox, president of FRHI International and the Fairmont Brand.
“We're very excited to be entering Kuala Lumpur, a key gateway city in the region, and remain focused on expanding the Fairmont brand in Southeast Asia and other leading destinations globally."
