Shangri-La has signed an agreement to launch its first Hotel Jen in Kuala Lumpur.
Scheduled to open in 2019, Hotel Jen Kuala Lumpur will be located in the centre of the Malaysian city, 800 metres from the Petronas Towers.
Rising 150 metres from street level, the 36-storey hotel will offer 200 rooms, a restaurant and lounge, a rooftop bar and swimming pool, meeting rooms and free Wi-Fi.
Concorde Arch initially acquired the plot of land for the construction of a corporate office, but later decided the location would be more suited to a hotel.
“We are excited to be in partnership with Shangri-La International Hotel Management. This will add a new direction to our hospitality business for the group,” said Judy Ng, director of Concorde Arch.
Formerly known as Traders Hotels, Hotel Jen is Shangri-La’s new “lifestyle” hotel concept. The KL property becomes the second Hotel Jen project under development in Malaysia, following the signing of Hotel Jen Kota Kinabalu in September 2015. The brand is already present in Johor Bahru and Penang.
“The announcement of Hotel Jen Kuala Lumpur reinforces our interest and expansion in Malaysia, in the country’s capital city, where we will now increase the group’s presence with our third hotel and newest brand Hotel Jen,” said Greg Dogan, president & CEO of Shangri-La.
