Best Western International has announced the opening of a RM280m (US$90m, EUR71.5m, £56.6m) hotel in Kuala Lumpur - the chain's first property in the Malaysian capital.

The 364-bedroom hotel - the Best Western Premier Dua Sentral - is located in the city's new business hub and is operated by the Trinidad Group of Companies.

AmanahRaya Hartanah owns the property, which includes a 221sq m (2,379sq ft) Bhuvana Spa with four treatment rooms - one for couples and three single guests.

A steam bath is also among the facilities at the Best Western-operated spa, which will offer an extensive range of treatments using Dermalogica and OPI products.

Best Western Premier Dua Sentral forms part of the chain's Malaysian expansion strategy, which will see 11 Best Western-branded properties operating in the country by 2015.

"We are delighted to open this stunning new hotel and introduce our Best Western Premier brand to Malaysia," said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International's Vice President International Operations - Asia and the Middle East.

"The location is perfect - just minutes from both the city and airport, it is the ideal place from which to base a business or leisure trip. The hotel's exquisite facilities also make it wonderful destination in its own right."
