InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed a landmark deal with Techvance Properties Management to bring the Hotel Indigo brand to Kuala Lumpur, with the property at the base of the picturesque Bukit Nanas scheduled to open in 2023.

The 180-room Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park will be located close to KL Tower and KL Forest Eco Park, and its design will reflect the historical charm of local heritage buildings and the breadth of nearby modern architecture.

The property will be built on sustainability promises, with environmentally friendly methods prioritised in its planning and the use of reclaimed materials in its construction, among others.

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

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 amid 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. We want to offer everyone who stays with us not only a memorable trip, but also an experience they will remember for many years to come.”
