NEWS | IHG Announces Agreement For Kuala Lumpur’s First Holiday Inn Express

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed an agreement with RB Capital to manage Kuala Lumpur’s first Holiday Inn Express, which will be built along Bukit Bintang by Amsterling Hotels Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of RB Capital. The 200-room Holiday Inn Express Bukit Bintang is slated to open in 2015 and will feature complimentary wi-fi, a self-service business centre and gym and, a mainstay of the Holiday Inn Express brand is the ‘Great Room’ – an integrated social space that combines a lounge and bar.
"Holiday Inn Express is a well-established brand that meets the demand for an international standard hotel that offers fuss-free comfort, convenience and value in great locations,” said Jan Smits, Chief Executive for Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA), IHG. “The brand is growing strongly across the region, with a pipeline of over 50 hotels and more than 11,000 rooms in Asia Pacific alone. It’s a smart hotel choice for the savvy traveller, and we’re excited to continue our relationship with RB Capital in bringing Holiday Inn Express to Kuala Lumpur,” he added. Holiday Inn Express Bukit Bintang is the second Holiday Inn Express hotel that RB Capital Hotels, the hotel arm of RB Capital Group, is building in partnership with IHG. The Group is also building Holiday Inn Express Clarke Quay, the largest Holiday Inn Express hotel in Southeast Asia, which will open its doors in the first quarter of 2013. Kishin R K, CEO and founder of RB Capital Group, said, “The Holiday Inn Express brand resonates well with the rising number of mid-tier business and leisure travellers visiting this part of the world. With the soaring and steady growth we’ve seen in the tourism and hospitality sectors across Southeast Asia, we are certain there are opportunities for strong growth and development in this area. We see Kuala Lumpur as a particularly strong market, especially now that Malaysia has placed tourism high up on its policy agenda.”
