(TAN): IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) has signed an agreement with Techvance Properties Management Sdn. Bhd to bring boutique upscale brand Hotel Indigo to Kuala Lumpur.
Scheduled to open in 2023, the 180-room Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park will be located at the base of the picturesque Bukit Nanas, close to KL Tower and KL Forest Eco Park, in the heart of Malaysia’s capital city. Sustainability has been key in its planning, led by the use of reclaimed materials from nearby sites, solar panels on its roof, and rainwater harvesting.

With greenery from one of the country’s oldest forest reserves woven throughout the hotel to bring the forest inside, memorable features include an interactive Green Wall in the lobby and a spot of quiet serenity amidst the bustle of the city in a Secret Garden.
Serena Lim, Vice President, Development for South East Asia and Korea, IHG, said: “All of our guests, whether they are staying for leisure or business, will be offered a unique mix of rainforest relaxation alongside the delights of the city, which is just minutes away. It is fantastic to be partnering Techvance Properties Management Sdn. Bhd. and expanding our brand portfolio in Kuala Lumpur in this way.”
The hotel’s two restaurant and bar options are heavily influenced by its locality. The rustic, industrial chic of the Neighbourhood Café offers a taste of local Malaysian cuisine with a modern spin, while Char Bistro and Bar provides a more casual setting and the chance for guests to visit the rooftop bar and enjoy a sunset cocktail with sweeping views of KL Tower, the Petronas Twin Towers, and the urban landscape of KL.
