PETALING JAYA: Property developer Tropicana Corporation Bhd (Tropicana) signed a hotel management agreement with Marriott International for its five-star 270-key Sheraton Langkawi Resort and Spa at Tropicana Cenang, Langkawi.
This collaboration comes as Langkawi sees increasing tourist and investor interest, with the potential to reach a pre-pandemic tourism peak of four million arrivals annually.
This is Tropicana’s third hotel collaboration with Marriott International, continuing the group’s ongoing expansion plans in Langkawi and strengthening its presence in the hospitality segment. The agreement was signed between Tropicana subsidiary Cenang Resort Sdn Bhd, represented by Tropicana group managing director Dion Tan and Marriott International Inc, represented by Marriott International Asia-Pacific Hotel Development senior vice president Kevin Chen.
“Building on Tropicana’s long-standing and fruitful partnership with Marriott International, we are excited to develop this five-star Sheraton Langkawi Resort and Spa at the popular Pantai Cenang beachfront. Leveraging on the strategic location and increasing tourism footfall in Langkawi, we are confident that this 270-key hotel will draw a lot of interest from tourists. In addition, Tropicana Cenang is a unique mixed development offering residential, hospitality and commercial components. With all these components in place, the planned hotel underscores our commitment to continue Redefining the Art of Living in Langkawi,” said Tan during the signing ceremony.
“We are thrilled to expand our portfolio of hotels and resorts in Langkawi – one of the most beautiful and beloved islands in Malaysia. This signing further strengthens our commitment to bring a host of choices across our extraordinary brands to consumers in the country.
“Sheraton is the most global brand under Marriott Bonvoy portfolio and this is our third collaboration with Tropicana, with the first two being the popular W Kuala Lumpur and Courtyard by Marriott in Penang. Once opened, Sheraton Langkawi Resort and Spa expects to offer urban conveniences as well as majestic skyline views of the surrounding, stunning Langkawi landscape,” added Marriott International Asia Pacific Hotel Development senior director Andree Susilo.
The Sheraton Langkawi Resort and Spa will complement the Tropicana Cenang mixed development.
