IHG Opens Malaysia’s First Hotel Indigo in Kuala Lumpur



(08/12/23)
 
IHG has expanded its portfolio of hotels in
Kuala Lumpur with the opening of a Hotel Indigo, marking not only the brand’s debut in Malaysia
but also the 150th Hotel Indigo globally.

The 180-room Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park
overlooks Bukit Nanas and is flanked by KL Forest Eco
Park, the only remaining patch of tropical rainforest in central
Kuala Lumpur.

Sustainability in design is a big focal point
of the newly opened hotel. Upon entering the lobby, guests are
greeted by a living vertical garden, a distinctive central
staircase constructed from old railway sleepers and reinforcement
steel bars from the hotel site during construction, and a
large-scale installation made entirely from recycled plastic
bottles. In addition, there are feature lights created from old
bottles, artwork created utilising old books and reception desks
from rescued tree roots sourced within Malaysia.

Facilities include two restaurants, a 24-hour fitness centre,
library, outdoor pool and three flexible meeting and event spaces.

“Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park celebrates
the people, places and experiences that make the neighbourhood
one-of-a-kind,” said Ashleigh Garside, General Manager, Hotel
Indigo Kuala Lumpur. “We are excited to be able to share these stories
and inspire local discovery as our guests forge meaningful
connections with this wonderful city and its people. The team is
looking forward to creating a stay experience authentically local
to our neighbourhood here in Kuala Lumpur for our guests and
welcome those that live in the community into our space.”

Just a few of the nearby Hotel Indigo openings
scheduled for 2024 include Hotel Indigo Saigon The City,
Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar, Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach,
Hotel Indigo Jabal Al-Akhdar and Hotel Indigo Palau.
