Tune Opens 11th Hotel in Malaysia

[HD video below] Tune Hotel Ipoh, the 11th Tune Hotel in Malaysia and the chain’s first hotel featuring its new brand standards, has officially opened.

Mark Lankester, CEO of Tune Hotels Group, said, “As we grow globally, it’s becoming more and more important that we have a universally common design DNA. We’ve worked closely with a bunch of really talented designers to come up with a look and feel that we like and most importantly, what our guests like. More fun, funky and sleek. The Tune Hotel Ipoh is the first Tune hotel on the platform to ‘wear the new clothes’ and we’re delighted with the results. Over time all the current Tune Hotels will slip on the new look and all new hotels in development will likewise have the new Brand Standards.”

The Tune Hotel Ipoh is located on Horley Street, in the bustling heart of Ipoh, within a short walking distance to the well-known Ipoh eateries, including the infamous “beansprout chicken rice” eatery and the D.R. Seenivasagam Park, formerly known as Coronation Park, ideal for brisk walks and family outings.

Tune Hotel Ipoh offers 121 rooms including 80 double rooms, 40 twin rooms and one wheelchair-friendly room. In catering to guest comforts, the new family-friendly interconnecting rooms provide convenience to guests traveling with young children and families.

The hotel will also house commercial retail outlets including an AirAsia Travel & Service Centre that will cater to the travel needs of residents of Ipoh and the surrounding areas.

Tune Hotels currently operates eleven hotels in Malaysia, two in Bali, Indonesia, two in London, England, three in the Philippines and two in Thailand. Tune Hotel Ipoh will be the chain’s 11th hotel in Malaysia with the others being Kuala Lumpur, Penang, KLIA-LCCT Airport, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Johor Bahru, Kota Damansara, Bintulu, Kota Bharu and Kulim.

Tune Hotels also continues to expand within the UK, with the opening of Tune Hotel Paddington on 25 June 2012 and Tune Hotel Kings Cross on 9 July 2012.

About 30 new Tune Hotels will be opening globally in the next 12 months.

“More Tune Hotels are scheduled for opening in ASEAN, the UK, India and Australia, that will give our guests even more options for travel destinations. With these new hotels, our number of guests will grow even faster and we expect to reach the five millionth mark by mid-2012,” added Mr. Lankester.
