The 207-room So Sofitel Hotel and 590-key So Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Residences are set to enter Kuala Lumpur in 2020, and will be located in the upmarket KLCC area near the Petronas Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
AccorHotels’ So Sofitel is putting down its footprint in Kuala Lumpur with a hotel and residences, the latter billed as the hotel group’s first lifestyle branded residence in Asia.
The 207-room So Sofitel Hotel and 590-key So Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Residences are set to enter Kuala Lumpur in 2020, and will be located in the upmarket KLCC area near the Petronas Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. They will be part of a large-scale mixed-use development that will include an office tower, retail mall and two luxury hotels with residences.
Both the hotel and residences are the projects of Singapore-listed lifestyle property developer, Oxley Holdings Limited (“Oxley”), which has appointed AccorHotels to manage the hotel and brand the residences.
The hotel facilities will include four food and beverage outlets, an extensive pool with deck and terrace, So Fit gym, So Spa, signature Club Lounge, business centre, and several function/event spaces.
The residences will feature a lounge, gym with studio and yoga room, an adults’ pool, separate kids’ pool, games room, kids playground, a function room and sky gardens.
Oxley said the residential development is targeting a younger, affluent audience looking for a more modern and vibrant investment, in the centre of one of Asia’s main hubs.
Oxley is also the owner of the combined Novotel and Ibis development currently being built along Stevens Road, which will add a total of 782 rooms to Singapore’s tourism infrastructure.
So Sofitel hotels are also in Singapore, Bangkok, Hua Hin, and Mauritius.
