KUALA LUMPUR - KL City Gateway has appointed Maple Hospitality Group as the hospitality and short-term rental management partner for Sutera Suites, the first development under the KL City Gateway masterplan.
The appointment was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the KL City Gateway Sales Gallery on July 10.
Under the partnership, Sutera Suites will be professionally managed under the MapleSuites brand, offering hospitality and short-term rental management services for owners and guests.
KL City Gateway is a seven-acre integrated transit-oriented development jointly developed by Sunsuria Berhad and Suez Capital Sdn Bhd (Suezcap).
Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the development will feature serviced suites, residences, office suites, retail outlets and lifestyle offerings.
The project has direct access to the LRT Kampung Baru station, the Saloma Link and the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH). It also includes a lifestyle retail boulevard overlooking the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) skyline.
The MoU was signed by Suez Capital deputy chief operating officer Ter Chen Hong and Maple Hospitality Group co-founder Danny Hor.
Ter said the partnership reflects KL City Gateway's commitment to enhancing the overall development, starting with Sutera Suites as its first project.
"KL City Gateway is envisioned as an integrated urban destination that combines quality developments, strong connectivity and thoughtfully planned experiences. This collaboration strengthens our offering and supports the long-term value of the development," he said.
Sutera Suites comprises fully furnished serviced suites designed for homeowners, investors, business travellers and visitors seeking accommodation in Kuala Lumpur's city centre.
Maple Hospitality Group currently manages more than 3,000 rooms across Malaysia.
Hor said the collaboration would allow the company to bring its hospitality management expertise to a strategically located integrated development.
"We look forward to enhancing the guest experience, optimising operational performance and contributing to the project's long-term success," he said.
The partnership is expected to support the development of the KL City Gateway masterplan, which aims to create an integrated urban destination for homeowners, investors, businesses and visitors.
