Hilton Hotel’s upscale Doubletree brand is set to open its first property in Malaysia. The Crown Princess Hotel in Kuala Lumpur will undergo a huge, multi-million dollar redesign and renovation over the next few months. When the hotel reopens in the second quarter of 2010 it will be the Doubletree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur City Centre. The 540-room hotel will host both business and leisure travelers to the capital of the country.
“The Doubletree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur City Centre is perfectly suited to meet the needs of this dynamic business centre. From China to Thailand and now Malaysia, our development pipeline for the Doubletree by Hilton brand continues to grow throughout Asia as a lucrative branding opportunity that is flexible for both new-build and conversion purposes in the upscale, full-service hotel arena,” said Dave Horton, senior vice president – brand management for Doubletree Hotels.
The hotel will be located at the corner of Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Ampang near the famous Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. It will provide convenient access to other parts of the city via the Light Rapid Transit (LRT) at Ampang Station. The renovated hotel is part of The Intermark mixed-use project that is being developed by the developer and investor MGPA.
