Duty-Free shopping, Golf Course and a Waterpark
with a variety of Watersports adding to the appeal.
In short, KWRC is a game-changer for the region,
with Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan now the Hotel of
choice for business and leisure guests.
Further enhancing the property’s appeal will be
the one-hour travel time from Kuala Lumpur to
Kuantan once the ECRL ( East Coast Rail Link ) will
be completed. While the destination’s international
gateway, Sultan Ahmad Shah Airport, is just 25
minutes’ drive from the hotel and offers connections
to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Penang.
Mr. Gavin M. Faull, Swiss-Belhotel International
Chairman and President, said Malaysia had long
been on the Group’s radar given its appeal of one
of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations. “So
the chance to plant our flag in such a culturally
dynamic country, delivering our award-winning
international standards, is very exciting and a key
element of our broader growth strategy in Malaysia
and globally,” he said.
“The fact that we are an integral part of such a
transformative development as KWRC makes our
entry into Malaysia even more special, and we plan
to unveil new properties in other key destinations
in the country including Kuala Lumpur and Melaka.”
Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan’s opening room rates range
from MYR 258 (net) for a Studio City View through
to MYR 392 (net) for a Family Room.
By the end of 2020, Swiss-Belhotel International
expects to increase its global portfolio to 250
properties, comprising some 25,000 rooms under 14
diverse brands spanning the hospitality spectrum –
from economy to luxury – in four continents.
