Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts Debut in Malaysia

  IHG Hotels & Resorts will open its first Crowne Plaza hotel in partnership with Yuk Tung Properties in Malaysia on 15 December 2023. The new-built 320-room Crowne  Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre is located in the heart of the capital city and within walking distance of the  KLCC business and shopping districts. 

Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts is one of the world’s largest premium hotel brands, with more than 400 hotels  in major cities and resort locations in 65 countries. Inspired by the evolving demand for flexible spaces, the hotel  will showcase the brand’s distinctive design style, built on the blended integration of work and personal including  the Crowne Plaza patented Worklife Rooms. As a brand, Crowne Plaza has been at the forefront of  understanding guest needs for productivity, restoration and inspiration. 

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. 

Each element contributes to this immersive experience, creating a symphony of nature and elegance that is not  just observed but lived.
