Wyndham Hotel Group has expanded its Ramada brand in Malaysia with the opening of the 357-room Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral Kuala Lumpur, the brand’s second location in the country.
The property increases the Ramada brand’s robust portfolio of more than 30 hotels throughout South East Asia and the Pacific Rim at a time of unprecedented growth for the brand in the region, which added new properties in Australia and New Zealand in 2014. Throughout the region, Wyndham Hotel Group currently has nearly 60 hotels open and operating under its Ramada, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts®, Days Inn, TRYP by Wyndham and Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham brands.
Managed by Wyndham Hotel Group’s management company, Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral Kuala Lumpur offers a range of dining options from the Grill 582, Kembali Kitchen, Hugo’s On 6 and the Punch Bar & Lounge; ten meeting rooms, all of which feature natural lighting; the on-site Avana Spa; children’s pool, and a fully-equipped fitness centre with an infinity pool.
“Wyndham Hotel Group continually seeks to expand our diverse portfolio of hotel brands in high-demand markets like Malaysia where our brands and hotel owners can be successful,” said Barry Robinson, Wyndham Hotel Group’s president and managing director for South East Asia and Pacific Rim. “We are confident that, as part of a globally recognised, growing brand, coupled with the strong relationship we have built with Trinidad Holdings, Ramada Dua Sentral will be a tremendous addition to our portfolio.”
The 33-storey hotel is a 50-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and is ideally located steps from the city’s shopping, entertainment and attractions. It is also a short walk from Kuala Lumpur’s integrated rail transportation centre and enjoys close proximity to the city’s main business and tourist hub.
“Trinidad Dua Sentral SDN BHD is proud to partner with the world’s largest hotel company to rebrand this landmark property as a Ramada hotel. The wealth of hospitality experience and global standards the Ramada brand brings heralds a new era for our company and is a good match for the style and sophistication that can be experienced at this property,” said Naresh Mohan, managing director of Trinidad Dua Sentral SDN BHD.
