DoubleTree by Hilton debuts in Malaysia’s Putrajaya

Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has announced the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside, its first DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Putrajaya. Owned by Indaman Putrajaya, the 290-room hotel is managed by Hilton. 

Located in the heart of Malaysia’s third federal territory, DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside is a 20-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city centre via the new KL-Putrajaya Expressway ⁠— positioning it as a convenient stopover for leisure and business travellers. 

Apart from the amenities, the hotel is also surrounded by scenic spots for taking in the local sights. Guests will enjoy the resort’s close proximity to attractions including the Millennium Monument, the pink Putra Mosque, Moroccan Pavilion and Putrajaya Botanical Garden, or stop at one of the nearby shopping malls for retail therapy, catch a blockbuster movie or try their hand at bowling. 

Welcoming guests with 290 well-appointed rooms, the hotel has ten accommodation types to cater to different guest needs. All rooms are non-smoking, with complimentary Wi-Fi for Hilton Honors members, a flat-screen TV with HD channels, 24-hour room service as well as a work-desk for business travellers to work in comfort. Children can enjoy themselves at the Splash Pool, while parents can dip in the Lakeside Pool, overlooking the serene Putrajaya lake or take some time at the fully-equipped fitness centre to work out a sweat. 

The resort features two restaurants with a rich and sumptuous array of local and international cuisines, catering to guests from morning to night. Makan Kitchen is an all-day dining that serves authentic Malaysian fare and specialty dishes across Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban and Peranakan cuisines. Koffee, the deli located at the hotel’s lobby, invites guests to rest and relax during the day while indulging in a wide selection of coffee and colourful display of pastries and light bites.

“The launch of DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside brings us to our third DoubleTree by Hilton hotel to open in South East Asia in under a year. Joining our portfolio of four DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in Malaysia as the 12th hotel in our operating estate in Malaysia, the launch of the resort during this period is a testament to the commitment of Hilton to establishing our presence in new destinations across the country. We are optimistic that when regional and international travel resume in the long run, DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside will be well-positioned to meet the evolved needs of our guests in a safe manner while delivering our renowned levels of Hilton hospitality to them,” said Paul Hutton, Vice President, Operations, South East Asia.
