Malaysia welcomes its first Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Johor Bahru

IHG Hotels & Resorts has launched the first Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Malaysia with the opening of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru. This contemporary hotel will champion the brand’s simple, smart travel philosophy and is set to be the first choice for guests travelling to and within the city.

Celebrating its 30^th year as one of the most beloved and frequented hotel brands in the world, Holiday Inn Express makes travel simple so guests can be there for moments that matter. Whether traveling for business or leisure, Holiday Inn Express is everywhere guests want and need to be.

Johor Bahru has gained traction as a hub for ‘Iskandar Malaysia’, a southern economic corridor earmarked for economic expansion, and the hotel is situated right at the center of action. MICE and business travellers will appreciate the close proximity to commercial parks, the Persada International Convention Centre, and key government offices like KWSP and UTC. Senai International Airport is a mere 30-minute drive away, making it an excellent choice for jet-setters. For those wanting to add Singapore to their itinerary, the Woodlands Checkpoint and the upcoming SG-JB Rapid Transit System (RTS) are both close by.

“I am excited to unveil Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru as the latest addition of IHG Hotels & Resort’s portfolio of hotels in one of the vibrant cities in Malaysia. Johor Bahru is a key gateway city and act as a connecting hub between Singapore and Malaysia. With the ease of international travel restrictions, our hotel will enable even more business and leisure travellers to experience a smarter way of traveling,” said Melanie Rahayu, General Manager, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru.

The 203-room hotel brings new and refreshed offerings to visitors travelling for business or leisure.

Meanwhile, those on the move can enjoy a ‘Grab & Go’ breakfast option with beverages and tasty snacks at the Express Bar.
