In line with IHG’s broader sustainability efforts, the hotel will also be plastic straw free and will opt for bulk amenities in all of its guest rooms.

Dato' Edward Lau, Managing Director, Techvance Properties Management Sdn Bhd, said, “We explored various options for this hotel project but quickly decided on the partnership with IHG once we were introduced to Hotel  Indigo. The brand has a philosophy and values that align to our vision for this boutique property, one where we want to create something truly lasting and unique. We are confident that through this partnership we will not just meet customer expectations but exceed them.”
