SWISS-Garden International (SGI) Hotels, Resorts & Inns has been appointed to manage the Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka, which is scheduled to open in 2014.
Offering an inventory of 306 rooms in a 32-storey tower, the hotel is part of a mixed use development project comprising a retail mall and serviced apartments. Facilities at the hotel include a grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests, and an infinity pool.
Located in the central Malacca district next to a monorail station and fronting the Melaka River, the hotel is within walking distance of Jonker Street and the city’s heritage precinct.
Swiss-Garden International vice president of business development and sales & marketing, Francis Lee, said: “The Swiss-Garden Melaka is an ideal avenue for our brand expansion, as the demand and growth opportunities for hotels and service apartments in Malacca have escalated.”
SGI currently manages and operates 10 hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Malaysia and Australia, with a total inventory of 2,000 rooms.
