Hospitality Career E-Mag: First Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Southeast Asia Celebrates Opening in Kuala Lumpur

Hilton Worldwide today proudly announced the opening of its first Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Southeast Asia.
Celebrated during a special commemoration ceremony amidst hundreds of civic officials, business leaders and company executives last night, the 540-guest room, 34-storey Doubletree by Hilton, Kuala Lumpur rises high in the skyline of Malaysia's capital city within Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle district, just northeast of KL City Centre. Positioned along the prestigious Jalan Ampang at the Jalan Tun Razak crossing in what is known as Embassy Row, the Doubletree by Hilton, Kuala Lumpur serves as a convenient gateway for all that Kuala Lumpur has to offer. Within steps of this newly transformed upscale hotel, the city's best shopping malls, dining, entertainment, the world-famous Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre can be easily explored.

Rob Palleschi, global head, Doubletree by Hilton Hotels commented: "The opening of the Doubletree by Hilton, Kuala Lumpur represents an important brand milestone for our worldwide collection of more than 230 hotels and resorts. This outstanding hotel in the heart of one of Southeast Asia's most important cities truly demonstrates the refreshing sense of contemporary style and personalised service Doubletree by Hilton continues to pursue and present to the world's travellers, wherever they stay with us. With five hotels now open in important business centres and attractive leisure destinations across Asia and many more development deals under negotiation in our robust development pipeline, the Doubletree by Hilton brand continues to gain momentum as a lucrative branding opportunity for owners and developers, which is both flexible for new-build and conversion purposes in the upscale, full-service hotel segment."

Doubletree by Hilton will introduce business and leisure travellers in Malaysia to the brand's longstanding tradition of distinctively designed hotels that reflect the destination and surrounding area.
