IHG has signed an
InterContinental resort in Penang, Malaysia.
The partnership with THR Hotel
(Penang), a subsidiary of Tradewinds, will see the former Penang Mutiara Beach Resort at Teluk Bahang
transformed into the InterContinental Penang Resort.
Scheduled to open in 2025, InterContinental Penang
Resort will feature 355 rooms and suites with up to three bedrooms
as well as a private enclave of six villas.
Facilities will include a holistic wellness
village with 10 treatment villas, a yoga studio, and a relaxation
pavilion; three swimming pools (including a kids pool); five
restaurants and bars; 1,000 square metres of meeting and event space (including a glass marquee and
private lawn for garden weddings and special occasions); and the
brand’s Club InterContinental Lounge offering views
of the Straits of Malacca.
InterContinental Penang Resort
Muhammad Zainal Ashikin, Managing Director & Group
Chief Executive Officer, Tradewinds Corp said: “Teluk Bahang holds
a special place for us, and with it, the former award-winning
Mutiara Penang Resort. As such, we have taken the time to truly
plan out its revitalisation, which included being very careful to
find the perfect partner that shares our vision for this amazing
location and the re-birth of this grand dame. We wanted to
introduce a brand that holds the nature, culture and heritage of
the area in the same high regard as we do, and I’m delighted to
say that IHG was the only choice for us due to its proven track
record of realising thoughtful luxury destination concepts in
diverse locations across the globe.”
A 30-minute drive from central Georgetown,
InterContinental Penang Resort will be the second
InterContinental hotel in Malaysia after InterContinental Kuala
Lumpur, and marks IHG’s return to Penang, together with the
upcoming Holiday Inn & Suites Penang Prai.
In Malaysia, IHG currently has six hotels across
three brands – InterContinental, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn
Express. At the of March 2022, the company had
a pipeline of 10 hotels in Malaysia set to open in the next three to five
years, most notably: Crowne Plaza Kota Kinabalu, Crowne Plaza
Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park,
Kimpton Kuala Lumpur and Regent Kuala Lumpur.
“A city steeped in history and culture, Penang
presents a strong leisure and corporate travel demand, buoyed by
the recent border reopening and ending of travel restrictions. We
want to create the best resort destination in Penang, make it
attractive to all types of guests and further solidify IHG’s brand
presence in Malaysia in the luxury segment,” said Serena Lim, Vice
President, Development, South East Asia and Korea, IHG. “Having previously
worked with Tradewinds on a number of properties in Asia, we
are truly excited to return into partnership with them with this
flagship resort. We know that they are as committed as we are to
make a positive impact on our communities, and our joint aim is to
ensure that this project provides new economic opportunities and
encourages many more travellers to visit this wonderful
destination.”
