Best Western Reaches New Heights in Malaysia

          Best Western International’s rapid expansion in Malaysia continues with the addition of a stunning new luxury hotel in the Genting Highlands.          The company is going to manage the brand new BEST WESTERN PREMIER Ion Delemen, Genting Highlands, which is currently under construction and will open in the first quarter of 2016.          “We are making tremendous progress with the expansion of our portfolio in Malaysia, especially in terms of our high-end hotel products,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International’s Vice President of International Operations for Asia & Middle East.          “BEST WESTERN PREMIER Ion Delemen is another wonderful example of the quality of hotel we are now offering in this exciting country. With services and facilities comparable to any international five-star brand, these stylish hotels represent the new face of Best Western in Asia.          “With its modern design, beautiful natural setting and first class amenities, I am confident this exceptional hotel will become extremely popular with both local and international visitors,” Mr. de Souza added.          Nestled amidst the cooling jungle-clad hills of Peninsular Malaysia, the 500-room BEST WESTERN PREMIER Ion Delemen, Genting Highlands, will showcase its spectacular surroundings with a series of amenities that overlook the verdant mountains.          Upon arrival guests will be taken up to the Sky Lobby to check-in, overlooking the forest canopy. The Sky Café will offer a picturesque place to grab bite to eat, while the Sky Garden is an ideal setting in which to relax and enjoy the natural landscapes, surrounded by rippling water features. And the rooftop deck and fire pit provides the perfect venue to unwind at the end of the day.          The hotel’s outstanding array of facilities is completed by an infinity-edged swimming pool, a spa, fitness center, sauna, multi-purpose events hall, restaurant and children’s playground.          Guests will also be able to enjoy golf and horse riding, or take advantage of a wealth of retail and entertainment offerings nearby, which will soon include the world’s first 20th Century Fox theme park.          Best Western International currently operates four hotels in Malaysia, but such is the pace of the company’s expansion in the country, this portfolio will jump to at least 16 hotels in the next three years.
