Marriott marks milestone in Malaysia



Marriott International this week opened its 50th property in Malaysia, with the debut of Penang Marriott Complex in George Town.

The complex comprises three properties – Penang Marriott Hotel, Marriott Executive Apartments, Penang and Marriott Residences Penang.

"Opening Marriott International's 50th property in Malaysia marks a significant milestone in our Asia Pacific growth journey, a continent that continues to be a strategic driver of our global expansion," says Rajeev Menon, president, Asia Pacific excluding China, for Marriott International (sorry mate, clumsy job title).

"The Penang Marriott Complex, the first in Malaysia to include three brands with the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio under one roof, is a fitting addition.

"Set along the iconic Gurney Drive in Penang, we are excited to offer guests and Residence Owners Marriott's signature blend of modern amenities and timeless charm, creating lasting memories in one of Malaysia's most sought-after island destinations."

There are currently 20 brands within Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio in Malaysia.

"The opening of the Penang Marriott Complex is a pivotal moment for Penang," says Lim Guan Eng, former Chief Minister of Penang.

"It is not just another landmark in our skyline but a testament to our commitment to excellence, progress, and growth. This development strengthens our capacity to welcome visitors from all over the world, while also enriching the experiences they will have here.

"By doing so, we further bolster Penang's appeal as a top-tier destination, creating new opportunities for our local economy."

Marriott International now has a portfolio of approximately 9,000 properties across more than 30 leading brands in 141 countries and territories.
