KUALA LUMPUR: Property developer Bangsar Heights Pavilion (BHP) announced its partnership with an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation to manage the Hyatt Place Johor Bahru City Centre, located in Quayside JBCC.

“We believe that this partnership will add value to the stakeholders of both companies; locally and internationally. Hyatt Place is a globally recognised brand known for its modern amenities, warm hospitality, and commitment to guest satisfaction, which aligns with our commitment to providing hassle-free experiences for all our customers and residents,” BHP chief executive officer Aaron Yap said.

Under the Bangsar Heights Group, BHP has a portfolio encompassing 30 years and a gross development value of approximately RM5bil. Hyatt Place hotels operate in 415 locations globally.

“We are thrilled to be working with BHP to introduce Hyatt Place Johor Bahru City Centre in Malaysia. With BHP’s legacy of over 30 years of experience in developing residential, commercial, and industrial properties in the country, we are proud to give our guests a place they can call their own, defined by a comfortable and convenient stay during their travel,” Hyatt Asia Pacific group president David Udell said.

“This collaboration reflects the exciting growth of the Hyatt Place brand in Southeast Asia, and underscores Hyatt’s position as the leading global hospitality brand in upscale accommodations for business and leisure travellers worldwide,” Udell added.

Located in Johor Bahru's commercial district, Quayside JBCC is a freehold mixed development with a total of 482 serviced suites, 24 units of commercial retail and 200 hotel suites. 

The 200 guest rooms at Hyatt Place Johor Bahru City Centre will feature dedicated spaces to work and sleep with recreational amenities such as the business centre, meeting spaces, fitness centre and swimming pool.

“Quayside JBCC is designed to emphasise the rich heritage of the surrounding area and revitalise the days of old with modern influences. It goes beyond the tangible buildings; it is the confluence of history and what the future holds for its residents, present and future,” Yap said.

BHP development director Gan You Lam, BHP chairman and founder Datuk Seri Dr Robert Lim, Hyatt Hotels Corporation development regional vice president Bastien Touzeau, Hyatt Hotels Corporation Southeast Asia sales and marketing regional vice president Charis Choi and Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur general manager Oliver Lenoir were present at the ceremony.
