THE PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Kuala Lumpur, which opened in October last year (TTG Asia e-Daily, August 5, 2010), is proving a hit with tourists from the Middle East, say Malaysian agents handling this particular market.

Two-bedroom serviced apartments with full cooking facilities, like those offered by the ParkRoyal KL but in short demand in the city, are usually the preferred accommodation choice for Middle East customers, explained Andy Muniandy, director of sales and business development of Asian Overland Services Tours & Travel.

The ParkRoyal KL, with its inventory of 287 one- and two-bedroom suites in five different categories, is also within walking distance of Jalan Bukit Bintang, known colloquially as “Arab Street”, making it even more popular among Middle East tourists, said World Avenues executive director Ally Bhoonee.
