Best Western International will arrive in yet another fast-growing Malaysian city later this year, with the launch of its first hotel in Shah Alam.

Shah Alam.

Strategically located in the heart of this up-and-coming city, BEST WESTERN i-City Shah Alam will be a modern midscale hotel, offering optimum comfort, convenience and connectivity for both business and leisure travelers.

"As the capital of the state of Selangor, Shah Alam is a key economic hub in Malaysia. Located just 25km from Kuala Lumpur and 30km from KLIA, the city is at the heart of the country's development, and provides an ideal setting for Best Western's new generation of contemporary hotels," said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International's Vice President of International Operations for Asia & Middle East.

"I am delighted to be able to introduce the BEST WESTERN i-City Shah Alam, bringing our famous international standards to yet another exciting city of Malaysia," he added.

Scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2014, BEST WESTERN i-City Shah Alam will combine modern design and amenities with the traditions of service excellence for which both Malaysia and Best Western are famous.

Feats.

The hotel will feature a total of 216 contemporary guest rooms and suites, all equipped with such modern amenities as 32-inch LCD televisions, minibars, working desks and tea and coffee making facilities. And as with all Best Western hotels worldwide, high-speed Wi-Fi is complimentary.

Guests will be able to sample local and international dishes at the hotel's Coffee House restaurant, while the corporate market is well catered-for with a choice of three meeting rooms, able to handle up to 120 delegates.

"Malaysia is an incredibly exciting market for Best Western International. With four hotels already open in the country and a further ten in the pipeline, we look forward to serving the needs of ever more Malaysian and international guests in future," Mr. de Souza concluded.

BEST WESTERN i-City Shah Alam will join Best Western International's existing collection of midscale and luxury hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan.

Currently, Best Western has a portfolio of more than 200 hotels across Asia. And the company expects to increase its regional collection to 300 properties in the next few years. Best Western first launched in Asia & the Middle East in 2001 and now covers 27* countries in the region.

Starwood announced it will open a new Le Méridien hotel in Putrajaya, a city in the Klang Valley region of Malaysia, in 2015. The new hotel, called Le Méridien Putrajaya, will be located close to the city's commercial district.

The property will have 350 guestrooms, two restaurants, a pool, fitness center, and spa. The hotel will also have 17,545 square feet (1,630 square meters) of meeting and event space, including a grand ballroom.

Guests will have access to a master coffee barista and free entrance to select museums and cultural centers in the surrounding area upon presentation of their key cards.  In addition, large-scale artwork will be displayed throughout the hotel's public spaces.

Le Méridien Putrajaya will be located within walking distance of many shopping and dining venues, including the IOI City Mall, which is slated to open later this year.

Starwood currently operates nearly 1,200 properties in 100 countries worldwide. The new hotel will be the third Le Méridien brand establishment to open in Malaysia, after Le Méridien Kuala Lumpur and Le Mériden Kota Kinabalu.

Container <b>Hotel</b> (Kuala Lumpur, <b>Malaysia</b>) | WANDERLUST

 I have never thought that staying in a budget hotel can be this comfortable.  Don't get me wrong, I also like luxury hotels and the feeling that it gives, but during my trip to Malaysia I'm up for some adventure! I have booked my reservation through www.booking.com, they don't charge fees whatsoever for the reservation, you will only need a credit card to guarantee your booking with them and you will pay the total amount on the hotel itself when you arrive.

Our check in time should be before 2pm, but the hotel is so kind that they have acknowledged my emai that we will be arriving around 8pm since Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 is less than an hour from the City Centre. We stayed there for 1 night, and the experience is amazing! the place is designed very well made out of containers and even the rooms! Yes, even the rooms!  And the place has Wifi too!

Container Hotel is an eco-friendly hotel that emphasises on going green, plus it wont hurt your wallet, and how they design the place is very artistic and one of a kind!  Located at No 1, Jalan Delima, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, approx. 10 -15 minutes from Petronas Tower.

They have 4 types of rooms:

1. OUTGOING  (Double Decker Single Bed ( Dormitory )

Well, it was indeed a one-of-a-kind stay and experience, gave me a different feeling of excitement and let me explore other place to stay.  The Hotels Supervisor/Crew JB is very nice! We had a good laugh talking about the hotel and Malaysia! You might wanna give it a shot!

Over all, my verdict during my stay is (comparing to other budget hostels/hotels) :

Rating : 8.5/10  (Very Good)

Price: 4 /5 stars (very cheap room starts at 85RM)

Facilities: 3.5 /5 stars

Location: 4/5 stars

Service: 5/5 stars
