UK-based hospitality brand YOTEL has ventured into the Malaysian market in partnership with High Steet Holdings by signing YOTEL Kuala Lumpur.

Situated in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), the hotel is expected to open between June and August of 2025.

YOTEL CEO Hubert Viriot said: “Asia continues to be a key territory for our growth and with Kuala Lumpur joining the pipeline alongside Tokyo and Bangkok, we are doubling our current footprint in the region and are excited to enhance the portfolio even further.”

High Street Holdings partner Daniel Yip said: “We are extremely honoured and excited to be partnering with one of the hotel industry's most innovative brands. YOTEL has proven that with its modern and sustainable smart design as well as creative use of technology, it is a very attractive brand for guests and real estate owners alike.

“Kuala Lumpur is a vibrant city with a wide range of hotel options and the addition of a Yotel will bring a new type of offering to the city centre, which we are confident will attract both business and leisure guests.”

The hotel, which will be part of a mixed-use development, will have 290 rooms, a rooftop pool and a bar with city skyline views.

It will also feature YOTEL amenities such as a fitness centre, a dining and co-working space called Komyuniti and a Grab + Go snack station.

Situated in the city’s Golden Triangle, the hotel will cater to both business and leisure travellers.

It will also be near Raja Chulan Monorail and Bukit Bintang MRT Stations, offering seamless connections to the city and access to Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Guests at the property will also be able to visit nearby landmarks such as Petronas Towers, KLCC offices and the KL Convention Centre.
