“Thelivingroom” brand
OCTOBER 2017
MALAYSIAN hospitality
company Berjaya Hotels &
Resorts has announced the
launch of new hotel brand:
“Thelivingroom”. The four-star
concept is aimed at corporate
guests travelling with families
and will focus on maximising
space while offering more
flexibility and convenience.
Each hotel will offer just one room type of around 25 sqm with novel
design solutions to fit up to four adults, such as foldable beds that conceal
themselves within the walls and become shelving units.
All guests will enjoy flexible check-in and checkout with a “24-hour
turnaround time”. In other words, if guests check in at 9pm, their checkout
time will be at 9pm the following day.
The first two properties will open in Malaysia next year, with further hotels
slated for Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Japan.
