Cititel to build 2 hotels for RM183m


Cititel Hotel Management (CHM) Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of IGB Corporation Bhd, will invest RM183 million to build two more hotels in Penang.

CHM managing director Datuk Eric H.K. Lim said the properties would be built at the Gat Lebuh Noordin area by early 2014.

 The two hotels are the four-star St Giles Hotel and a budget hotel - Cititel Express.

The 33-storey St Giles will have a unique facility of a helicopter pad at the rooftop, while the Cititel Express will occupy 23 storeys.

The St Giles Hotel will have 500 rooms and the Cititel Express will have 275 rooms. Both these new hotels will be built adjoining each other at the site.
