KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 18 (Bernama-PRNewswire) — Hilton expanded its brand portfolio and brought in the first Hilton Garden Inn to Malaysia, making it the first international hotel brand to open in the Chow Kit neighbourhood. A hotel with global reach and local touch, Hilton Garden Inn Chow Kit has welcomed travellers from all over the world since opening its doors.
Chow Kit, named after wealthy Penang businessman Loke Chow Kit who made his mark in the 1880s, has seen a dramatic change to its social and commercial landscape in recent years. The development in one of the city’s most treasured neighbourhoods can be attributed to the joint effort between Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and Kampong Bharu Development Corporation (PKB).
