KUALA LUMPUR: SKS Group and Marriott International have signed a hotel management agreement to launch Courtyard by Marriott Subang in Selangor.
This marks SKS' third collaboration with Marriott International and its first venture outside Johor, following the successful debut of Four Points by Sheraton Desaru in 2021 and the upcoming opening of Sheraton Johor Bahru next year.
Courtyard by Marriott Subang, scheduled to open in 2026, will be part of a mixed-use development that includes retail spaces.
The hotel will feature 280 rooms, a ballroom of about 1,000 square metres, and four meeting rooms.
Andree Susilo, senior director of hotel development for Asia-Pacific at Marriott International, expressed excitement about expanding the brand in Subang, recognising that it is a thriving commercial and cultural hub.
Susilo said that Subang is experiencing growing demand from both international and domestic travelers, making it a perfect fit for the hotel.
"This agreement highlights our steadfast commitment to the future of hospitality in Malaysia and underscores the trust our owners place in our brand," he said.
Meera Raj, head of hospitality at SKS, highlighted that the partnership with Marriott International enhances Subang's appeal as a commercial and leisure destination through top-tier hospitality offerings.
"It sets the stage that will further propel the hotel industry to greater heights in Malaysia and underscores our shared vision and mutual dedication to provide exceptional hospitality experiences."
