KUALA LUMPUR (March 30): Construction of the Royale Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur has progressed to 80%, with its opening set for the second quarter of next year, according to developer Harmoni Perkasa Sdn Bhd (HPSB) director Datuk Lee Tuck Fook.
He said the five-star Royale Pavilion Hotel will become another landmark in Kuala Lumpur and create 300 new jobs.
“The collaboration with Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts will bring world-class facilities to Malaysia and enhance the potential of tourism in Kuala Lumpur as well as add more value to the city centre,” he said during the signing ceremony between HPSB and Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts. The two companies had inked the hotel management agreement today.
This is the second collaboration between both parties after their Banyan Tree Signatures Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
Developed at a cost of about RM330 million, the 12-storey Royale Pavilion Hotel started construction in May 2015. It offers 337 rooms including 233 standard rooms, 71 deluxe rooms, 32 suites and one presidential suite.
Banyan Tree Holdings Ltd executive chairman Ho Kwon Ping said the hotel also offers a full range of facilities including recreational facilities, banquet hall, conference facilities, dining restaurants and retail gallery.
He noted that Royale Pavilion Hotel is a mere 400m from Banyan Tree Signatures Pavilion, which will also be unveiled in 2017 after the opening of Royale Pavilion Hotel. Both hotels are connected to the shopping mall.
Although the two hotels are located close to each other, Ho emphasised that both are unique and cater to different segments and tourists’ needs.
“Banyan Tree Signatures Pavilion is a boutique urban resort with larger rooms that cater to group or corporate travellers, while Royale Pavilion Hotel is a mainstream five-star hotel with retail and F&B components,” he explained.
Minister of Federal Territories Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the signing of the management agreement between two companies will add lustre to the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur integrated development.
“We see great synergy between Ministry of Federal Territories, Kuala Lumpur City Hall and Pavilion Group to jointly contribute to the national economic agenda. We are on track towards advancing Kuala Lumpur as a world class city,” he added.
