Shama Suasana Johor Bahru has officially been rebranded from Suasana Suites Johor Bahru, marking the introduction of the Shama brand to Malaysia.

This development represents the second collaboration between ONYX Hospitality Group and UMLand.

This follows the launch of the Amari Johor Bahru in 2017.

With this relaunch, Malaysia is said to become the first country outside of Thailand to host all three of ONYX Hospitality Group's brands, namely Amari, OZO, and Shama.

The relaunched property has 87 all-suite accommodations, each with modern amenities, living areas, and kitchenettes.

The suites range from one-bedroom suites of 644ft² for up to two adults, two-bedroom suites of 968ft² for up to four adults, to three-bedroom suites spanning 1,935ft² for up to six adults.

Additionally, the hotel offers a fitness centre and a swimming pool.

Shama Suasana Johor Bahru executive assistant manager Syed Ali Syed Othman said: “This rebranding reflects our dedication to creating a sophisticated living environment that meets the needs of visitors to Johor Bahru. We are committed to delivering unmatched comfort and convenience to our guests.”

Shama Suasana Johor Bahru is situated next to the Zenith Lifestyle Centre, and opposite KOMTAR JBCC and City Square Johor Bahru.

The announcement comes on the heels of ONYX Hospitality Group's expansion news across Thailand, in April.

Shama Rayong was signed at Amari Bangkok, with plans for the property to open in the first quarter of 2026.

Currently, ONYX includes a range of brands such as Oriental Residence, Saffron Collection, The Mosaic Collection and more.
