DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Hotel opening next year set to be a game changer

DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Hotel, the second hotel in I-Berhad's flagship i-City mixed development in Selangor's Golden Triangle, is set to open in 2022.

Jamie Mead, Hilton's regional general manager for Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, recently inspected the hotel in preparation for its opening next year.

He posted a photograph of himself with Gagan Talwar, believed to be the new general manager of the DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Hotel, outside the hotel lobby on Linkedin.

"Fantastic hotel just outside of Kuala Lumpur joining our Malaysian portfolio in 2022," he stated in the post.

The 300-room DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Hotel will stretch across a 43-story skyscraper. The premium Hill10 Residence is located on the highest levels of the tower.

Hill10 Residence will be handed over to buyers at the same time as the hotel's opening, which is expected to take place after June of next year.

Game changer development

DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Hotel is set to be a game changer and is expected to set a benchmark for luxury hotels and transform the Mice (meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition) sector in Malaysia.

The hotel is three minutes from the Central i-City mall, which is managed by Thailand's Central Group, and the i-City convention centre. The properties are part of the i-City financial district, which is anchored by the 33-story Sumurwang Tower, a GBI-rated corporate skyscraper.

Coming up is Be Central next to Sumurwang Tower, comprising serviced apartments starting from RM495,000.

DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Hotel will feature the first 360-degree LED digital canvas in its grand ballroom, supported by state-of-the-art light and sound systems that surround its circumference to provide guests an unparalleled experience.

With about 11,000 sq ft of function space spread over two floors, the hotel will also have six versatile meeting rooms.

For a better guest experience, the hotel will feature increased technology in guest rooms as well as innovative guest room management.

The guest room will be pre-cooled to roughly 25 degrees Celsius when they arrive at the lobby. The room will be chilled to a temperature of roughly 23 degrees Celsius while the guest is being transferred to it.

Another feature is, a door contact system will be engaged as soon as the guest enters the room, and upon detection of body temperature, the entrance-mood lighting system will be turned on, and the room curtains will automatically open to welcome guests with a beautiful view of the i-City skyline.
