The signings will see the launch of the first Grand Mercure in the country as well as a trendy ibis Styles in Kuala Lumpur in Q1 2025.

Accor, a global leader in hospitality, has further strengthened its partnership with Worldwide Hotels Group by signing an agreement to introduce two new properties in Malaysia's capital. These properties, following refurbishments and rebranding, will mark the debut of the Grand Mercure brand in Malaysia as well as the addition of a trendy ibis Styles to Kuala Lumpur's vibrant hotel scene, both set to launch in Q1 2025.

In 2023, Accor introduced a dedicated Premium, Midscale, and Economy (PM&E) division to bring more focused expertise, accelerate growth, improve performance, and deliver the highest possible levels of service for owners and guests. Cementing its leading position across these segments in Asia, these two signings bring the total number of PM&E pipeline keys across Asia to 46,802.

As the first Grand Mercure branded hotel in Malaysia, the new Grand Mercure in Kuala Lumpur will offer an immersive experience that celebrates national culture and stimulates the senses. From arrival to departure, the premium hotel will immerse guests in multi-sensory experiences of Malaysia's culture, design, and dining. Strategically located between the entertainment hub of Bukit Bintang and the colourful Chinatown, the hotel will feature 325 well-appointed rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a fully equipped fitness centre, and a pool. For social gatherings and corporate meetings, the hotel will offer versatile meeting and event spaces.

ibis Styles, known for its design-led, trendy, and affordable accommodation, will expand its presence in Malaysia with a new location in Kuala Lumpur. Located in the lively Bukit Bintang district, the new ibis Styles is just steps away from public transportation and within walking distance of modern shopping malls and a variety of dining options. The hotel will feature 168 rooms inspired by a unique theme, an all-day dining restaurant and bar, a self-service laundromat, and a modern fitness area.
