THE St Regis Kuala Lumpur will unveil Asia’s first 270-degree LED digital canvas among other features when it opens in May this year.
The 208-key hotel will offer some of the largest guestrooms in the city plus 10,000m2 of function space spread among 16 meeting rooms.
The largest is the 1,300m2 Grand Ballroom, which is skirted by a digital canvas made up of 47 LED screens.
General manager, Anne Scott, said: “I believe we are the first hotel in the region with the ability to give event participants the sense of being totally immersed in the presentation because it is being projected all around them not only through the LED screens but also through the supporting state-of-the-art light and sound system.”
Guests can expect to pay 250,000 ringgit (US$64,176) per use of the LED digital canvas. In addition, the Grand Ballroom is accessible by a private lift large enough to transport a car into the room.
Outdoors, the hotel has a dual-level rooftop bar and lounge named Crystal, which has an LED media wall that runs alongside the pool, and can also be used for events.
The St Regis Kuala Lumpur expects its main markets to include Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and China and also some business from Europe and Australia.
With the opening of its sister hotel The St Regis Langkawi this month, both hotels intend to cross-sell by offering packages that will twin the two cities in a “bleisure” programme that may include a corporate meeting at the St Regis Kuala Lumpur followed by teambuilding or CSR activities at the St Regis Langkawi.
