PETALING JAYA: Marriott International Inc and IOI Properties Group Bhd (IOIPG) have signed an agreement encompassing four new-build hotel developments across Malaysia, comprising The Ritz-Carlton, Putrajaya, W Langkawi, Aloft by Marriott Sepang and Aloft by Marriott Johor Bahru Plentong.
The latest agreements build on an established relationship between Marriott and IOIPG. Marriott currently manages seven IOIPG-owned properties across seven brands in Malaysia. The four developments represent the next phase of the collaboration, extending the relationship across additional destinations and market segments.
“The signing of the four hotels cements our position as a significant hospitality owner, as this will bring to a total of fifteen hotels owned by the group which presently are and will be managed by Marriott International. Our current nine hotels are already in operation while these four and The Westin Puchong which was signed on July 30, 2026 as well as W Singapore – Marina View, are expected to complete their construction progressively in the coming years,” said IOIPG group chief executive officer Datuk Lee Yeow Seng.
“These projects reflect our shared confidence in the long-term growth of Malaysia’s hospitality sector and our commitment to working with trusted owners to bring the right brands and experiences to destinations with strong growth potential. From luxury resort to select-service offerings, we look forward to further strengthening our presence in Malaysia,” said Marriott International Asia Pacific (excluding China) president Rajeev Menon.
Also present were IOIPG head of hotels Alan Yau Chuen Tao, Marriott International APEC hotel development vice president Andree Susilo and APEC chief development officer Gautam Bhandari.
The planned 173-key W Langkawi, Aloft by Marriott Sepang and Aloft by Marriott Johor Bahru Plentong (both are 250-key) are expected to open in 2030 while the 215-key Ritz-Carlton, Putrajaya is planned for 2032.
