KUALA LUMPUR (March 19): NCT Alliance Bhd is collaborating with Hard Rock International to set up Asia Pacific’s highest altitude Hard Rock Cafe, located on the highest floor of NCT Alliance’s Grand Ion Majestic development arm, Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel in Genting Highlands.

In a statement on Tuesday, the developer said that with a total gross development value of RM1.6 billion, Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel’s first phase is slated for a soft opening in the second quarter of this year.

NCT Alliance executive chairman and group managing director Datuk Seri Yap Ngan Choy said additional retail space of approximately 178,000 square feet will be created to enhance this travel destination at Genting Highlands.

“The new addition of Hard Rock Cafe and the opening of Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel at Genting Highlands signifies a monumental achievement for us, as this development will be the crown jewel in our property portfolio.
