Tune Hotels to welcome 2011 with two new hotels

KUALA LUMPUR: Tune Hotels is opening two new hotels early next year. The hotel in Bintulu, Sarawak is slated for opening on Jan 3, 2011, while the hotel in Kota Bharu, Kelantan will open on Jan 23.

Mark Lankester, group CEO of Tune Hotels, says: "Increasing the number of our hotels reiterates our commitment to have 100 hotels in major cities globally providing 5-star beds at incredible value and affordability. The introduction of the 101-room Bintulu hotel and 173 room Kota Bharu hotel will further add value to savvy travelers, both business and tourists alike, who are keen to adopt the pay-as-you-use concept.

"Kota Bharu and Bintulu are really exciting for us as one is the first Tune Hotel in Kelantan and the other is our second Tune Hotel in Sarawak," he added.

The opening of the two new hotels brings Tune Hotels' number of operating properties in Malaysia to nine, and 12 globally. Existing hotels in Malaysia are located in Kuala Lumpur; the KLIA-LCCT Airport; Kota Damansara; Penang; Johor Bahru; Kuching; Kota Kinabalu; Kuta and Legian in Bali, Indonesia; and one in London, England.
