ibis, AccorHotels’ midscale brand, is set to make its debut in Malaysia’s capital with the opening of the ibis Hotel Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) this August.

Located walking distance from the heart of KL City Centre, ibis KLCC is set to be the second biggest ibis in the world and the biggest in the Asia Pacific region, an important milestone for the brand. Known for its simple yet modern designs, each ibis hotel is thoughtfully designed from the layout of the lobby to the finish of its guest rooms.

“An influx of travellers stepping foot into Malaysia”

Ricky Ho, general manager of Ibis Kuala Lumpur City Centre general manager, said: “Over the years, we’ve noticed an influx of travellers stepping foot into Malaysia and the growing trend of travellers opting for hotels that are affordable and provides them with all the amenities one needs. ibis KLCC does just that as it combines the ultimate comfort of modern and well-equipped rooms and amenities with the highest level of service.

“The opening of ibis KLCC is a strategic milestone for the ibis brand in Malaysia and we look to strengthen our brand presence in this part of the world as we continue to add to the growing ibis network in the Southeast Asian region.”
