Mar 18, 2008

Hotel Imperial Kuala Lumpur, A Luxury Collection hotel, announced the completion of its $12 million refurbishment program, and made its debut recently by welcoming guests to relaunch events. The launch also signifies the reinvigoration of the Luxury Collection brand in Asia.

Hotel Imperial Kuala Lumpur offers guests an all-day dining restaurant and fabulous guestrooms and suites. As a member of the Luxury Collection, Hotel Imperial Kuala Lumpur aims to deliver an exceptional, indigenous experience to all guests. The 385 rooms feature designs inspired by Malaysia's colorful landscape, diverse culture and friendly people.

“We are delighted with this newly renovated Luxury Collection hotel in Malaysia! The hotel’s indigenous qualities and sheer beauty make it a perfect fit within the brand, beautifully complimenting a portfolio which includes The Gritti Palace in Venice, The Princeville in Hawaii and the Laguna Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua in Bali,” said Peter Frawley, regional vice president, Starwood Hotels in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.

The third largest luxury hotel brand in the world, the Luxury Collection strives to deliver unparalleled attention to their guests’ needs and preferences. The brand aims to seamlessly integrate the customs, culture and environment of each property’s locale.
