Global hospitality leader Marriott International has announced a landmark agreement with TSM Global to transform the well-known Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur into the Petaling Jaya Marriott Hotel.
This conversion strengthens Marriott’s presence in Greater Kuala Lumpur and introduces its signature service and design to one of the country’s most active urban corridors.
The 393-room property, strategically located between Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, is expected to join the Marriott Hotels brand portfolio by December 2025, following an extensive phased renovation program.
A New Chapter for Eastin Hotel
Originally opened in 1998, Eastin Hotel has been a key player in Malaysia’s hospitality scene.
The newly signed agreement will see the hotel undergo a comprehensive transformation to align with Marriott Hotels’ contemporary standards, enhancing the guest experience with updated facilities, services, and design elements.
The first phase of renovation includes:
- A fully redesigned lobby with modern aesthetics
- A partial upgrade of guest rooms
- Introduction of the exclusive M Club Lounge for Elite and Club members
- A signature Chinese restaurant
- A Kids Club, enhancing the property’s family appeal
The full transformation is scheduled to be completed by December 2026, ensuring that guests will enjoy a seamless blend of comfort, style, and world-class hospitality throughout the process.
