D-Villa Hotel & Residence Johor Bahru to offer broad appeal

JOHOR BAHRU (Sept 9): D-Villa Hotel & Residence Johor Bahru is targeted to welcome both tourists and business travellers when it opens in 2018.

Occupying levels 11 to 22 of the 30-storey Causeway Regency residence tower, it will offer a host of conveniences and amenities, on top of great location in the heart of the city.

“It is in the centre of the business district, about 300m from the Causeway,” said Bangsar Heights group chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Robert Lim.

Lim spoke to the press after the signing of a licensing agreement between Antara Holiday Villas Sdn Bhd and Bangsar Heights.

The agreement will see Holiday Villa manage the hotel segment of the 360-unit project.

Holiday Villa CEO Puan Sri Mavis Masri Azman said the hotel was expected to appeal to tourists from Singapore.

“This hotel-apartment concept will appeal to families as there is ample space and a place to cook,” she said.

Nearby amenities include the JB Sentral train station, which is a 10-minute walk away. The Senai International Airport is a convenient, 30-minute drive away.

The suites range from 28sq m to 50sq m in size. In-house facilities include a cafe and function and meeting rooms.

A rooftop garden with a viewing deck on level 30 commands a magnificent panorama of the city, the Straits of Johor and Singapore.

The swimming pool on level 10 offers an equally arresting view, along with landscaped gardens, a children’s playground and a fully-equipped gymnasium.

The project is the third property licensed by the Holiday Villa group, after D-Villa Residence KL and D-Villa Residence Qatar.
