The fourth Le Meridien branded hotel opened yesterday at Petaling Jaya with much pomp and ceremony.
On hand was general manager Christopher Moore and Marriott International Vice President Asset Management, Yeoh Soo Hin along with their management team and well-wishers.
The brand new hotel features 300 timeless chic guest rooms, distinctive dining options and unique brand programmes for guests to savour the good life.
The distinct timeless chic design at Le Méridien Petaling Jaya is inspired by the brand’s roots in the glamorous halcyon days of travel. The 300 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites feature bamboo flooring to convey both tactile warmth and a feeling of spaciousness.
With sleek furnishings and marble-clad bathrooms to create an element of opulence, every room is decked with unique local-themed artwork and design for a sense of place that is proudly Malaysian. Guests will also be able to enjoy premium bathroom amenities by MALIN+GOETZ which was specifically developed for the Le Méridien brand.
Designed to emulate a residential style living room, the hotel’s executive lounge, The Residence Club is the perfect space to relax, socialise or meet for business. The Residence Club is open to Platinum, Titanium, and Ambassador Elite Marriott Bonvoy members and guests who stay on suite floors, offering complimentary breakfast, all-day refreshments, and evening cocktails.
Guests can savour the good life at the hotel’s two destination dining outlets. The hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Pasar Baru presents Malaysia’s multi-cultural mélange of Malay, Indian and Chinese flavours in a lively market-style setting. Traditional mosaic tiles synonymous with the local Peranakan heritage adorns the walls of the restaurant creating a colourful and vibrant setting to elevate the local market experience.
Meanwhile, set atop the 30th floor against expansive cityscape views, PJ’s Bar & Grill is the largest rooftop bar in Petaling Jaya and doubles as a sophisticated restaurant specialising in grilled dishes, tantalising appetisers, and creative cocktails accompanied by a private cigar lounge, scenically situated next to the outdoor infinity-edge rooftop pool.
The rooftop also houses a 300-square-metre rooftop infinity-edge pool that offers refreshing swims and a wide-open deck for some fun in the sun. Guests can look forward to sip and savour expertly crafted cocktails and more from the hotel’s pool. The fitness centre is located on the 29th floor with sweeping views of the city and the latest state-of-the-art equipment.
For the younger guests, the Le Méridien Family programme invites make-believers, aspiring inventors, junior culinarians and little culture-seekers into an immersive world where toying, tinkering and free-play are celebrated. Children up to 12 years old will receive a complimentary toy to stimulate creativity as well as a Discovery Guide – a customized list of family-friendly excursions to help unlock the destination.
The hotel also offers extensive event spaces for hosting meetings, business conferences, social gatherings, and weddings. The comprehensive array of meeting and event spaces includes a 1,700-square-metre pillarless grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests.
The eight meeting rooms, all with natural light, are customizable into flexible venues perfect for smaller corporate and social gatherings. Each venue is illuminated with functional reflective dimmers to evoke a sense of space with classic imprints of the Malaysian wau to signify the influence of local charm.
“We are delighted with the opening of Le Méridien Petaling Jaya in one of most recognizable commercial and residential hubs in Malaysia. We look forward to welcoming guests to unlock the sights, sounds, and aromas of the destination, showcasing European-inspired hospitality and enriching experiences to savour the moment,” said Moore.
