Hyatt Hotels Corp has signed a management agreement which will see the Hyatt Regency brand return to Kuala Lumpur.
In collaboration with KL MIDTOWN Sdn. Bhd a new 450-room Hyatt Regency will be developed and is slated to open in 2024.
Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur is being designed by acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma and will have four food and beverage concepts including two bars, as well as an outdoor pool, fitness centre, and Regency Club lounge.
There will also be more than 21,000 square feet of flexible event space including a ballroom.
"The new hotel is part of our strategy to grow Hyatt’s brand presence in Malaysia, building upon the five hotels that currently operate," said Patrick Finn, Hyatt’s SVP of real estate and development, Asia-Pacific.
The hotel will be situated close to the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre.
"We will work closely with Hyatt and Kengo Kuma to create a standout Hyatt Regency property," said Jorgen Bornhoft, chairman of developer Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd.
