Come meet the up and coming hotelier, Jordon Lim, who is the newly appointed Hotel Manager of the Jazz Hotel in Tanjung Tokong, Penang.
The hotel which is under a new management group, Koenic Hotel Management, is set to officially open its doors to welcome guests very soon.
The 30-storey hotel building offers some 255-rooms and suites themed in a jazzy setting.
They are also strategically located a short walk away to the Straits Quay Retail Marina and the adjacent Lotus’s Tanjung Pinang.
In the meantime, Jordon comes with many years of experience in the hospitality industry starting off at the Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa, Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Sunway Hotel Georgetown, Berjaya Hotel Times Square (KL) & SSL Traders Hotel (Taiping) in the early days.
Prior to taking up the top job at the Jazz Hotel, he was also at the G Hotel Group in various operations and management in both rooms and F&B capacities.
It is also worthy to mention that he is among the young crop of hotel managers and general managers in the hospitality industry in Penang.
“We hope to attract a mix of business and leisure guests to our hotel. We are well located to reach either Georgetown proper or the Batu Ferringhi in approximately 18 mins.
“To this regard, the hospitality industry has also evolved to be more “people centric”, where people management has become one of the integral factors to be able to retain staff members,” said Jordon to Penang Hyperlocal.
The new look Jazz Hotel has a new team of head of departments to deliver the right service and hospitality for their guests.
Among their facilities include an all day dining coffeehouse, Japanese restaurant, lounge, swimming pool, gym, seminar and meeting rooms.
The re-opening of the Jazz Hotel augurs well for the hospitality industry in Penang as it will present an opportunity for travelers and holiday makers to try out new and affordable accommodation rates.
Penang Hyperlocal wishes Jordon every success in his endeavour and to take the Jazz Hotel to greater heights.
