IHG Hotels & Resorts has opened its first Crowne Plaza hotel in Malaysia with the arrival of Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

The newly built 320-room Crowne Plaza is located in the heart of the capital city and within walking distance of the KLCC business and shopping districts.

Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre unveils a distinctive design narrative, a harmonious blend curated by renowned international interior and architectural design firm, the G.A Group. Helmed by Adrian Currie, the design encapsulates both the bustling energy of the city and the tranquil allure of Malaysia’s tropical rainforests.

Tailored for the contemporary business traveller, these modern-designed rooms and suites, ranging from 36 to 146 square meters, offer a versatile experience with distinct zones, ensuring a perfect balance between work and relaxation. Abundant natural light bathes the rooms through expansive windows, providing panoramic views of the vibrant city centre. Innovative auto motion sensor lighting enhances guest convenience by automatically adjusting lighting levels based on occupancy.

Guests can indulge in moments of tranquillity with bathtubs and large-format bath amenities from New Zealand’s organic beauty brand, Antipodes, ensuring a premium experience beyond design. To complement this, RhymBa Lobby Lounge & Bar elevates the traditional lounge experience by seamlessly blending co-working functionality with leisure, offering solo pods and huddle stations perfect for quick meetings or focused individual work amidst a relaxed ambience. Ascend to Level 13 and discover NEST@13, a dedicated co-working lounge that provides a stimulating environment equipped with modern amenities, ample workspace options, and a private meeting room.

Merchants All Day Dining, located on Level 13, invites guests on a global culinary journey in a vibrant and stylish setting. The restaurant’s interior, featuring communal tables, open kitchens, and décor evoking the vibes of a bustling marketplace, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. From the aromatic BBQ Free Range Chicken to the flavourful River Shrimp Curry Noodles and indulgent Pandan Burnt Basque Cheesecake, each of these signature dishes captures the rich tapestry of Malaysian flavours. Executive chef Adrian Jackson, with over 30 years of expertise, leads this gastronomic odyssey, making each dining experience a masterpiece.

Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre stands as a versatile hub, offering an expansive 12,000 square feet of space for meetings and events. The hotel boasts an array of distinctive meeting spaces, including a grand ballroom infused with the captivating design of a rainforest, creating an atmosphere that transcends the conventional. Complemented by flexible function rooms bathed in the soft glow of natural daylight, this meticulously designed venue provides the perfect canvas for a spectrum of occasions, from business meetings and workshops to social gatherings and weddings.

Crowning the experience, business travellers can unwind and recharge at the rooftop infinity pool, offering breathtaking city skyline views. The fitness centre, featuring panoramic sky vistas, allows guests to maintain their wellness routines during their stay.

In early 2024, Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre will introduce signature suites, an executive lounge, and its speciality French brasserie, Le Midi, located on Level 32 and features a bar and terrace for dining.

“Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre stands as more than a hotel; it’s an immersive haven that offers versatile spaces for a blended travel experience,” says Kuljit Singh, General Manager. “Our commitment is to create an environment that allows our guests to connect, be inspired, and thrive, ensuring every stay is a harmonious blend of work and leisure.”
