KUALA LUMPUR: The historic Oriental Bank building on Jalan Hang Lekiu, Kuala Lumpur, is undergoing a transformation into a world-class hotel, with an investment of RM75 million.

The Art Deco-style structure, which includes podium levels and two basement floors, will be reimagined as a 21-storey hotel featuring 320 rooms and a swimming pool.

Datuk Mark Yeoh, chairman of YTL Hotels, said that the revamped property, named Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown, is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2026.

"We chose this brand for its distinct appeal, offering a unique experience in Chinatown and Kuala Lumpur. Bringing Moxy to the market excites us, as it is one of Marriott International's most dynamic global brands, set to redefine hospitality in Kuala Lumpur," Yeoh told Business Times.

this hotel last time is called MIDAH HOTEL...

Regalpark used to be called Hotel Midah which was an old dingy hotel. But the new makeover of this old hotel made it a worthwhile trip.



This is now the Regal Park Hotel (see my review under that name). We weren't told of the name change when we booked with Booking.com and then when we communicated with the Hotel directly via e-mail which made locating it a bit of a nightmare. Be mondful of this you you are considering booking a room at the Hotel Midah.


Date of stay: July 2018

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 7): The outlook for Kuala Lumpur’s luxury hotel sector appears to be positive over the next 12 months with the 47th Asean Summit happening on Oct 26 this year and the Visit Malaysia 2026 tourism campaign, according to Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur general manager Herman Kemp.

“Last year was a record-breaking year for most five-star luxury hotels and most five-star business hotels in Kuala Lumpur. This year is the Asean conferences, so I am sure a lot of luxury hotels in October and November this year will do very well. Next year, there will also be the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, so there is a strong indication that business will be bullish,” said Kemp in an exclusive interview with



City & Country after Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur’s opening ceremony on Thursday at the Merdeka 118 tower.

Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur consists of 252 guestrooms, inclusive of 27 suites.


The hotel occupies floors 75 to 114 of the Merdeka 118 tower.


The presidental suite is 6,780 sq ft with

one bedroom,
a study,
dining room,
bar, kitchen,
private entrance lobby,
library and
two living areas.


The standard room is 570 sq ft.

Kemp stated that Hyatt Hotels Corporation is very confident in Malaysia’s premium hospitality market, with the increase in tourism and the improvement of Malaysia’s economy, following the Covid-19 pandemic.



The Asean Summit is a biannual meeting between the heads of state or government of Asean member states to discuss key regional issues and to make decisions on matters relating to economic, security, political and socio-cultural development.



This year’s Asean Summit will be happening in Kuala Lumpur.

The Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign is a series of initiatives aimed to attract tourists to Malaysia by positioning Malaysia as a key tourism destination.

AmTrustee had originally acquired the asset in 2007 from ING for RM75 million and in 2010, it bought a further 9,018 sq ft for RM6 million. The net book value of the property was RM101.5 million as at Dec 31, 2013.

The sale and purchase agreement between Goldstone Kuala Lumpur and AmTrustee was entered into in December last year and the purchaser had on Jan 30, 2015, submitted a proposal to DBKL seeking permission to convert the 20-storey block cum annexe building into a hotel.

Industry sources say the new owner is planning to convert only a portion of the building into a hotel. Because the sixth and eight floors belong to others, the buyer is studying the possibility of the lower floors being retained as office space and converting the ninth floor onwards into a hotel. It may also introduce retail outlets on the ground floor.

Stanley Toh, director of real estate and valuation firm LaurelCap Sdn Bhd, says, “It is a good buy for Goldstone [Kuala Lumpur] as it paid RM700 per sq ft while the average price of office buildings in the vicinity is around RM1,000 psf. Although it is a strata property, it will provide the owner with a good opportunity to reposition it in the future,” he says. LaurelCap has been the manager of Tower REIT’s Menara ING for the past five years.

Meanwhile, data from the Companies Commission of Malaysia reveals that Goldstone Kuala Lumpur was incorporated in July 2013 and its core business is in “development of building projects for own operation, renting of space, hotels and resorts hotels, real estate activities with own or leased property”.

Its shareholders are Datuk Dr Tang Yong Chew (34.3%), Abd Rahman Md Noor (17%), Md Yusoff @ Mohd Yusoff Jafaar (17%), Mohamad Nazri Ismail (17%) and Sa-Li Chou @ Sally Chou (14.7%). Chou and Tang are also directors of the company.

It appears that the duo are also involved in another company called Goldstone Property (Malacca) Sdn Bhd. Tang and Chou hold a 70% and 30% stake respectively in the dormant company.

Interestingly, it was reported last month that Goldstone Property is building a 249-room hotel on a 0.7ha site in Jalan Bendahara, Melaka.


Some RM200 million will be invested in the hotel, which will be under the ibis brand.

Tang and Chou, who share the same address, are also directors and shareholders of



Winbond Properties Sdn Bhd.


Tang has a 70% stake while Chou holds the rest of the equity interest in the company.

According to Winbond’s website, its first project is Wisma Longrich in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.


The website further states that the company has two other ibis hotel projects — ibis KLCC, a 678-room hotel in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, and


ibis Penang that will comprise both a hotel and hospital.




Tang’s name also appeared in December 2014 when Mah Sing Group Bhd and Topotels Sdn Bhd signed a deal that saw Mah Sing appointing Topotels to manage its Meridin Hotel Suites in Medini, Johor. Comprising two 27-storey blocks with studio, one and two-bedroom suites, the hotel is in Phase 2 of Meridin@Medini.

Other hotels under Topotels’ management include Ramada Encore in Seminyak, Vio Hotel in Bandung and Azana Hotel in Padang, all of which are in Indonesia, as well as The Straits Hotel & Suites in Melaka.
