Best Western has unveiled a new upscale hotel in Malaysia’s Genting Highlands.

The brand new Best Western Premier Ion Delemen is located close to Genting’s Resorts World, which features a large theme park, casino and Malaysia’s longest cable car ride. The world’s first 20th Century Fox World theme park is also located nearby and is scheduled to welcome visitors later this year.

It forms part of the Ion Delemen development, which is expected to fully open in 2018 and will also include an international wellness centre.

“The Genting Highlands is becoming a must-visit destination, not only for Malaysian travellers wanting a break from the city, but also for a rising number of international guests,” said Olivier Berrivin, Best Western’s managing director of international operations for Asia.

“Best Western Premier Ion Delemen, provides contemporary and stylish upscale accommodation for visitors. And with its outstanding collection of premium facilities and incredible setting, this property is likely to become a destination in its own right.”

Best Western Premier Ion Delemen offers 246 rooms, ranging from studios to three-bedroom suites, all featuring kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi and large windows that overlook the mountains. There are also multiple restaurants and bars, a sky garden, heated swimming pool, spa, fitness centre, children’s play area, and space for conferences and events.

Guests will also be able to access the Genting Highlands’ other attractions – including Resorts World – using the hotel’s complimentary shuttle bus service.

Following the launch of the new hotel, Best Western now operates three properties in Malaysia, located in Shah Alam, Petalingjaya and the Genting Highlands. This also marks the return of the upscale Best Western Premier hotel brand to Malaysia.
