It won the award over other respected international hotel groups including South Korea’s Grand Hyatt Incheon and the Hong Kong Marriott Airport Hotel, the former 6-time champion. Additionally, Tune Hotel klia2 was nominated in the “World’s Leading Airport Hotel 2019” category alongside international brands like Hilton London Heathrow Airport, Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai and Parkroyal Melbourne Airport.

Tune Hotels CEO Navin Singh stated that the award validated their goal to make airport hotels more than a functional space, and was thankful and humbled that their efforts were recognised by guests who voted for them.

Tune Hotel klia2 replicates the brand’s new approach to guest experience. Its rejuvenation started in February 2017 with the introduction of new premium rooms and all-day dining restaurant, MAKAN. It was complemented by MINUM sports bar, a chic minimalist spa – REHAT, and a bodega style Grab & Go. To give the hotel a sense of place, artwork from Malaysian and regional artists, on loan from private collections, hang on its walls.  All of this connects to a 24/7 open-air courtyard perfect for transit travelers frequenting the KLIA and klia2 Terminals. Specifically, for transit travelers, Tune Hotel klia2 has created various packages which include a VIP Fast Track Pass. Tune Hotel klia2 is a certified green building highlighting our commitment to sustainable building design and operations.

Ormond Group CEO, Gareth Lim said that since its inception, the Tune Hotels experience has always been based on 5 key promises to its guests: free high-speed wifi, super comfy beds, hot power showers, clean rooms and 24 hour security. The experience at Tune Hotel klia2 has been elevated by introducing great design and guest experience to appeal to even the most discerning of global travelers.
