InterContinental Hotels Group today launched the new Crowne Plaza Mutiara Kuala Lumpur.

InterContinental Hotels Group’s Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Mr A. Patrick Imbardelli, said, “Crowne Plaza Mutiara Kuala Lumpur is a significant addition to our portfolio as it places our brand in the heart of one of Asia’s most exciting and dynamic urban centres. This hotel not only reinforces our presence in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia but also underlines our commitment to extend the Crowne Plaza brand in gateway cities and meetings destinations from 34 to more than 40 Crowne Plazas next year. With its specialised business services and amenities, we believe that Crowne Plaza has a strong proposition to capture the burgeoning growth of the meetings and conventions market in Asia Pacific. Through the partnership with the hotel owner Arena Target for Crowne Plaza Mutiara Kuala Lumpur, we are indeed fortunate to combine a quality hotel in an excellent location, with the Crowne Plaza offering to deliver the Crowne Plaza brand promise to our customers.”

“We are pleased to have InterContinental Hotels Group manage this landmark hotel in Malaysia.
