Check out this Refurbished Retreat with a Malaysian Feel

Doubletree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside has always been a pleasure to visit and now the lakeside retreat has 14 new room categories, the DoubleTree Studio Residency and an array of Malaysian-centric experiences for guests to enjoy.

The completion of its refurbishment saw the property recently unveiling ‘The Malaysian Experience’. This milestone solidifies its position as the ultimate destination for immersing in the rich tapestry of Malaysian culture. Embarking on an enchanting journey, it showcases a distinctive architectural blend of diverse cultures. Paired with a wide array of local culinary offerings and Malaysian-centric children’s activities, guests can fully immerse themselves in the country’s culture. The recent introduction of the DoubleTree Studio Residency further enhances the property’s appeal, making it ideal for anyone seeking an authentic Malaysian experience.

“DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside is dedicated to providing guests with an immersive and authentic experience of Malaysian culture and identity. The hotel already showcases the four main wings representing Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Borneo elements. To further enrich our guests’ stay and achieve our goal, we have integrated distinctive features aligned with five key focus areas: Culture, Food, Family, MICE, and Wellness,” said Jamie Mead, Senior Director of Operations – South East Asia.

Among the 14 newly introduced contemporary room categories, the Family Deluxe room and King 2 Bedroom Suite were thoughtfully designed for guests traveling in larger groups. The Family Deluxe room features a separate living and dining area, while the King 2 Bedroom Suite offers a spacious living area, pantry, and two bedrooms.

There also is a diverse selection of venues for hosting meetings, conferences, exhibitions, and dinners. Each room is named after a Malaysian lake, with the impressive Kenyir Grand Ballroom being the largest, accommodating up to 800 people in a theater-style arrangement. The ballroom features an enhanced LED screen and an open-air multifunctional space, perfect for team-building activities. Additionally, the Temenggor Grand Ballroom, overlooking the scenic Putrajaya Lake, offers couples a memorable setting for their wedding reception, complete with an open amphitheater ambiance. Corporate team-building events will also be fun if held here as the Marina Watersports Center hosts a variety of exhilarating activities including Dragon Boat races, wakeboarding and cycling.

Culinary enthusiasts will be delighted with Makan Kitchen. Here, Malaysian and international cuisines await to allow guests to indulge in their favourite dishes. Guests can enjoy offerings that pay homage to authentic local flavors, with Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, and Peranakan delicacies that tantalize the tastebuds. As for THE KOFFEE, the resort’s lobby lounge, it provides a cozy spot to unwind with freshly brewed coffee and delightful pastries, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a good book.

Families can create lasting memories together at the newly opened Games Room, equipped with board games as well as foosball and table tennis amenities. The Splash Pool, designed with multiple sections for different age groups, offers a fun-filled experience for children. Have you ever wished your children could enjoy traditional games like Hopscotch, Congkak, and Ketinting? Here’s a chance to show them the joy of playing them. Drag them away from their handphone screens for a short while or longer, if they start appreciating the games children used to often play years ago. As for fitness enthusiasts, they will appreciate the well-equipped gym and the hotel’s wellness kit, which includes a yoga mat, relaxing room mist sprays and more.

In celebration of Malaysia’s rich culture, DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside has also introduced the DoubleTree Studio Residency, featuring three talented up-and-coming contemporary artists from Segaris Art Center, Fadzril Fakaruddin, Haziq Syawal, and Syahmi Jamaluddin. The primary objective of this collaboration is to support Malaysian artists in showcasing the country’s cultural heritage. Following an open call by Segaris Art Center, three artists were chosen to participate in a 4-month studio residency at DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside.
