Parkroyal Langkawi Resort Becomes Pan Pacific's 5th Hotel in Malaysia

(15/03/23)  Pan Pacific, a member of Singapore-listed UOL Group, has expanded its portfolio of Parkroyal hotels to the Malaysian island of Langkawi, an UNESCO Geopark.

Located on Tengah beach, the 301-room Parkroyal Langkawi Resort features a choice of guest rooms and suites that range in size from 437 sqft for a deluxe room to 1248 sqft for a two-bedroom apartment.

Even more spacious one to three-bedroom villas range from 2615 sqft to 3982 sqft and feature a cozy lounge area and a private plunge pool with direct access to the beach.

Dining options include an all-day dining restaurant offering a range of signature local favourites and international dishes, as well as a seafood restaurant and bar overlooking the Andaman Sea.

Other facilities include a spa, two pools, a jogging trail, fitness centre, a variety of meeting and event space, and a kids’ club with an outdoor playground.

“The opening of Parkroyal Langkawi Resort, Malaysia, gives us the opportunity to expand in the region as the fifth property in Malaysia and Malaysia’s Kenanga Research expects tourist arrivals in the country to jump almost four-fold to 9.6 million in 2023 from an estimated 2.5 million a year ago,” said Richard Tan, Vice President of Operations, Pan Pacific Hotels Group. “With business and leisure travels slowly resuming, the hospitality industry is set to grow as borders reopen with the overall tourist arrivals expected to reach 80% to 95% of pre-pandemic levels this year according to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation. In the next two years, we are committed to growing the Parkroyal brand with the addition of nine properties in gateway cities that include Tokyo, Malacca, Dalian, Siem Reap, Jakarta and Hanoi where we will be well-placed across these strategic locations to take advantage of the travel demand.”

The group also expanded its serviced suites portfolio in the region in November 2022 with the opening of the 194-room Parkroyal Suites Bangkok located on Sukhumvit Soi 6, just a short walking distance to Nana BTS sky train station.

Upcoming openings include Parkroyal Serviced Suites Hanoi which overlooks the picturesque West Lake, and Parkroyal Serviced Suites Jakarta, in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

The company is expected to grow its portfolio to more than 50 hotels, resorts and serviced suites in over 30 cities across Asia Pacific, North America and Europe by 2024.
