CITITEL HOTEL MANAGEMENT (CHM) is proud to introduce a 2nd Cititel brand to the market. Branded as CITITEL EXPRESS, appealing to a large segment of the market at very affordable rates, this limited frill hotel is strategically located in the old world charm of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, sited along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (also affectionately known as Batu Road). The hotel offers a different dimension of accommodation to the business and leisure travellers --simplicity with great value for money.
The existing site, which was formerly Stanford Hotel has undergone a re-development program on its guestrooms, café and function rooms. Adding on to its current room inventory of 154 superior and deluxe rooms, the typical “Express” Standard rooms comprising of 90 units are now available, complemented with a refreshingly new and casual dining café called the “Terrace”, inclusive of an alfresco Café Express serving fuss free local delicacies, refurbished function rooms and a spanking new reception/lobby.
Its operating philosophy whilst not limited to only these attributes is anchored along five key tenets – strategic location, safety, cleanliness, friendliness and value, expounding on its tagline of “Smart, Clean, Simple”. “The Express brand is to focus on the busy road warrior’s aspirations of an affordable place to sleep without the full- blown frills, a functional environment with local identity and service that is attentive and unpretentious” commented Dato’ Eric Lim, Managing Director of Cititel Hotel Management.
