Kuala Lumpur Boutique Hotel Sizzles on Conde Nast Hot List

GHM Hotels' sleek new 'The Club at The Saujana' in Kuala Lumpur has been acknowledged as one of the world's hottest new hotels, sizzling onto the prestigious Conde Nast Traveller "Hot List 2009".

The annual Conde Nast Traveller Hot List is compiled by Conde Nast Traveller's correspondents and Associate Editor and provides readers with their choice of the hottest new hotels in the world. Hot list hotels are judged for their outstanding service, bars and restaurants, ambience, design, location and leisure facilities by some of the savviest observers of the industry - and to be featured on the hot list is one of the industry's most highly sought after accolades.

The Club at The Saujana is just one of many GHM properties to have been featured on the Hot List, others include The Nam Hai (Vietnam) The Setai (Miami), The Chedi Chiang Mai (Thailand) and The Chedi Club, Tanah Gajah in Ubud (Bali).

Set in 160 hectares of lush tropical gardens and fringed by the two 18-hole championship golf courses of the Saujana Golf & Country Club, The Club at The Saujana features the most luxurious hotel accommodation in Kuala Lumpur and is just a short drive from Kuala Lumpur city centre and 35 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). The Club at The Saujana is located adjacent to the existing GHM property, The Saujana.

The boutique resort, which re-opened in September 2008, features 105 Club rooms & suites designed in the contemporary Asian "style to remember" for which GHM is famous. The Club at The Saujana features stylish interiors with large Club rooms/suites ranging from 43 square metres to 176 square metres.

With fabrics from Jim Thompson, stemware from Germany and Anore bathroom amenities sourced from Italy, all efforts have been made to showcase contemporary Asian style and a matching balance in its muted tones and ambiance.

A private entrance foyer and check-in lounge waits to welcome guests, while the resort itself overlooks tranquil ponds and landscaped grounds within the hotel's premises.

With the focus on ambient tones, personalized service and attention to detail, all rooms and suites feature lavish bathrooms overlooking the gardens with terrazzo bathtubs and rain forest showers. There is also an in-house boutique and a new spa offering a wide range of massage and beauty treatments.

All guests at The Club at The Saujana receive complimentary club benefits including personalised check-in at The Lounge or in guest's room with refreshing welcome drink, daily breakfast at The Restaurant, all day tea and coffee in The Lounge, evening cocktails and canapés at The Lounge, minibar replenished daily, laundry and dry cleaning services, wireless internet access, Club Concierge services, shopping butler, usage of boardroom and daily newspaper.

Set in intimate and private surroundings, overlooking the lush greeneries and soothing water feature, The Restaurant entices with an unrivalled a la carte selection of Western dishes and Asian delights from the kitchen of newly appointed Executive Chef, Nancy Kinchela. The Restaurant is open to non–residents and is widely considered as one of the best restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

Guests at The Club at The Saujana also have access to the seven restaurants at neighbouring hotel, The Saujana, including Suria all-day dining restaurant, Senja Italian restaurant, Kogetsu Japanese cuisine, Ti Chen serving home-cooked style Chinese cuisine, Golfer's Terrace, Bayu Lounge and Rumah Peranakan (RP) Entertainment Center with live band, cigar bar and wine cellar.

GHM properties have won a wealth of awards from many of the world's most influential travel publications. Its first property, The Datai in Langkawi (Malaysia) has appeared virtually every year since 1998 on one or other of the various annual Conde Nast Traveller surveys, and is usually joined by several other GHM properties such as The Setai, Miami Beach (USA), the Chedi Muscat (Oman) and the Chedi resorts in Phuket and Chiang Mai (Thailand).

Commenting on this latest award, Hans Jenni, Director and President of GHM Hotels, said, "The inclusion of the new Club at The Saujana on the latest "Hot List 2009" again confirms our commitment to providing unrivalled standards of style, luxury and service for today's well-heeled and discerning traveller."
