Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen To Open In Fourth Quarter Of 2016

Singapore -- Renowned global hospitality brand Best Western Hotels & Resorts is delighted to announce the opening of its latest property in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Just 45 minutes away from downtown Kuala Lumpur, the Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen offers an intimate urban resort experience with a stunning panoramic view of the Titiwangsa Range from 6,000 feet above sea level. With a host of efficient and friendly services, the 246-key property is designed to connect guests with a brand new experience in the Genting Highlands, making it a perfect base for travellers looking to have a mountain getaway in the embrace of eternal spring.

Operated under a franchise agreement with Ion Delemen Hospitality Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the NCT Group of Companies (NCT), the full-service hotel offers a wide range of accommodation options that include deluxe and one-bedroom suites designed for individuals or couples, as well as two and three bedroom suites catering to families or larger groups that include private bedrooms, a separate living area, and kitchenette. Every unit has been thoughtfully designed to give guests a stunning view of the resort's surroundings and beyond, ideal for travellers seeking the tranquility and relaxation that comes with an escapade to the mountains.

"We are extremely pleased to be able to bring a brand new hospitality experience to Genting Highlands as the destination prepares for a fresh wave of exciting new entertainment choices for visitors," said Mr Ian Hurst, General Manager of Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen.

With the five natural elements derived from the age-old philosophical concept of Feng Shui at the core of its design philosophy – water, earth, wood, metal, and fire – the property, designed by architect Chris Chu, aims to bring about balance between the hotel and its surroundings, drawing energies from the five elements available in abundance amidst the vast, ancient mountain ranges that are home to the Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen, and bringing harmony to the entire place. This in turn bears a thematic influence on the unique art and furniture pieces on display throughout the property, as well as the colour schemes for each area within the hotel.

As part of the management's drive to create a sense of place and an opportunity for guests to better acquaint themselves with the destination through new eyes, Malaysian artist Peisy Ting was commissioned to bring the elements of Genting Highlands – the birds, butterflies, orchids, landscapes and urban structures – into the resort's spaces through her art, which adorns the walls of the 246 rooms and suites there.

Under the direction of Executive Chef Victor You, who brings 25 years of local and international professional experience to his role, wining and dining at the Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen comes in the form of 6 food and beverage outlets that offer a generous allocation of al fresco seating options for diners looking to take in the beauty and atmosphere of the natural environment outside.

Guests may look forward to a plethora of tantalizing gastronomical choices during their time in the Genting Highlands at restaurants such as Chopstix, the hotel's signature restaurant located on the rooftop of the property featuring an extensive Asian Oriental menu and floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light and offer a breathtaking view of the mountains and valleys below; Hugo's in the Sky, which offers discerning diners a palette of vibrant flavours from the Mediterranean; and Kembali Kitchen, an all-day dining restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets and an extensive a la carte menu of local and international favourites.

Patrons looking for a place to unwind over a drink may also opt for the Seven Lounge, where guests can enjoy their favourite aperitifs of choice accompanied with signature tapas and canapes, Beanz Café, a self-service café that serves a selection of homemade cakes and pastries for dine-in and takeaway, and the Oasis Pool Bar, where guests may enjoy a dip in the hotel's heated infinity swimming and enjoy a beverage and snack from the bar's menu.

Visitors looking to unwind and rejuvenate themselves may look forward to spending some time in the hotel spa, a sanctuary of serenity offering a host of signature treatments and massages. Other wellness and leisure facilities at the Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen include an indoor heated infinity pool with a panoramic view of the valleys beyond, a fully equipped fitness centre, and meeting spaces and teambuilding facilities suited to a wide range of purposes and events. Families may also look forward to a fun-filled vacation for all with facilities and services such as a children's playground and babysitting services.

Conveniently located just minutes from famous tourist sites such as the Chin Swee Cave Temple, Highlands Mushroom Walk, Gohtong Strawberry Leisure Farm and the renowned Genting Casino, guests of the hotel need not look far for regional attractions and activities. Upcoming additions to the area include the Genting Premium Outlet and Sky Avenue Mall Genting, which are due to open in late 2016, while the world's first 20th Century Fox theme park will open in 2017. For added ease of access, a complimentary shuttle service from the hotel to key destinations within the Genting Highlands will be available to all guests.

The Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen joins the Best Western International group's robust portfolio in Malaysia and by extension Asia. The Best Western Premier Genting Ion Delemen will also be participating in Best Western Rewards®, the company's free-to-join guest loyalty program, which allows members to earn valuable points during the stay.
