A FIVE-star hotel, believed to be the first in the world to combine a unique concept of jazz music and green-themed features, will be opening its doors in Penang in 2015.
The 30-storey Jazz Hotel will be built near the Straits Quay complex with 226 rooms and is the fifth hotel under the Ri-Yaz Hotels & Resorts Sdn Bhd chain.
The group’s managing director Datuk Shaheen Shah said the hotel would feature paintings of jazz musicians with only jazz music played.
“Our hotel will also be the first in Malaysia to feature a glass ballroom designed with green features,” he claimed.
Shaheen was speaking to reporters after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with developer Sure Commerce Sdn Bhd.
Sure Commerce was represented by its managing director Todd Teoh.
Shaheen claimed that the hotel would be the first in Penang to have a swimming pool and a lounge on the rooftop.
Teoh said construction works to build the hotel on a vacant piece of land in Seri Tanjung Pinang would begin next year.
“Construction is expected to take between 28 and 30 months,” he said.
The project will also comprise a 40-storey service suites that would be built at the same time as the hotel.
Present to witness the signing was the Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas. - The Star
