Where do you normally choose to stay when on holiday?
Tune Hotel klia2 took first place for the prestigious “Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel 2019” award at the 2019 World Travel Awards™ceremony recently. Imagine beating international hotel groups like South Korea’s Grand Hyatt Incheon and Hong Kong Marriott Airport Hotel (who has held first place for the past 6 years)!
Tune Hotel klia2 (part of the Ormond Group) is now one of the contenders under the category of “World’s Leading Airport Hotel 2019”, alongside huge brands like Hilton London Heathrow Airport, Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai and Parkroyal Melbourne Airport.
Established in 1993, World Travel Awards™ was created to celebrate excellence across the major sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries. It is now globally known as the ultimate hallmark of excellence and this year will be its 26th year running.
“This win validates our belief that airport hotels should be more than just a functional space to sleep. We’ve set out to make airport hotels fun, and we are thrilled with this award. We are delighted and humbled that our efforts are recognised and appreciated by our guests who voted for us,” Tune Hotels CEO Navin Singh said.
Tune Hotel klia2 underwent a makeover beginning in February 2017 to improve guest experience. The changes included new premium rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, MAKAN, a sports bar, MINUM, as well as a chic spa REHAT, along with a bodega style Grab & Go.
Artwork from local and regional artists, which are on loan from private collectors, are hung on the walls, which all add up to make for a beautiful space. A 24-hour open-air courtyard is connected to the hotel, making it a great spot for those in transit. There are also packages for transit travellers to choose from, which include a VIP Fast Track Pass to help ease the process of travelling.
“Since its inception, the Tune Hotels experience has always been based on 5 key promises to our guests: free high-speed wifi, super comfy beds, hot power showers, clean rooms and 24 hour security. We are excited to elevate the experience by introducing great design and guest experience to appeal to even the most discerning of global travelers,” Ormond Group CEO, Gareth Lim said.
