KUALA LUMPUR: Sleeping Lion Suites, the crown jewel of Aset Kayamas’ hospitality portfolio, has officially opened its doors in Kuala Lumpur’s bustling Bukit Bintang district.

The three-star hotel has 866 guest rooms and 10 different accommodation types to choose from, ranging from superior rooms for solo travellers and couples to premier family suites with multiple rooms that cater to large families or groups.

The name ‘Sleeping Lion’ was inspired by the company’s vision to create a hotel that exudes power, grace, and elegance, much like a tranquil lion, said Michael Chai, executive director of Aset Kayamas.

He described the Sleeping Lion Suites as embodying the essence of a luxurious hotel brand dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences.

“Our appetite for innovation and zeal to set the bar higher know no bounds. Today, we stand before you, ready to unveil a new chapter in our story, one that shines brightly with the launch of the Sleeping Lion Suites.

“Now, I know what you’re all thinking. Wait, why is Aset Kayamas venturing into the hospitality industry? Believe me, I’ve had my fair share of raised eyebrows and intrigued smiles. You see, for over 12 years, we’ve excelled at crafting residential masterpieces. But there’s a really good reason and explanation behind why we’re doing this, and it’s a real kicker—we’re not satisfied. That’s it!

“We’re not content with resting on our laurels. We believe in pushing boundaries and seeking new horizons, and that’s why we’re venturing into the realm of hospitality with the Sleeping Lion Suites,” he said.

Chai said that as the company takes this leap into the hospitality industry, he is confident that the Sleeping Lion Suites will not merely be a hotel; it will stand as a symbol of excellence, a beacon of awe-inspiring moments, and a source of unbridled inspiration.

“Our purpose is bold and audacious: to create a space where each and every one of our guests wakes up feeling empowered and ready to take on the world. I’m sure many here will agree with me that a good rest can work wonders, and that’s precisely what we promise with The Sleeping Lion Suites.

“We’re not just offering rooms or space; we’re delivering a retreat of rejuvenation,” he said.

The hotel’s amenities include a rooftop infinity pool, a gymnasium, a sauna, and a steam bath room.
