Accor, a global leader in hospitality, has signed a hotel management agreement with Malaysia’s Tropicana Corporation Berhad to introduce Mercure Living Genting Highlands. This new venture aims to blend global hospitality expertise with sustainable township living, offering an extended-stay option in the popular leisure destination of Genting Highlands. The development, set to open in 2028, will feature 1,443 fully furnished suites catering to long-stay guests, leisure travellers, and homeowners.
The Mercure Living Genting Highlands will be part of the TwinPines Serviced Suites at Tropicana Grandhill, a wellness-focused precinct within the expansive Tropicana WindCity township. This collaboration underscores Tropicana’s strategy to expand into the hospitality sector, providing homeowners with a branded hospitality asset managed to Accor’s global standards. “Mercure Living Genting Highlands represents an exciting opportunity to expand our extended-stay offering in Malaysia,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Accor Asia.
The project is designed to meet the growing demand for professionally managed hospitality and extended-stay accommodation. It will offer residential comfort with hotel services, including kitchen and dining facilities, an all-day dining restaurant, an executive lounge, and a heated swimming pool. Ixora Ang, Managing Director of Marketing & Sales and Business Development for Tropicana, highlighted the development’s commitment to sustainability and smart living, stating it reflects their vision of delivering future-ready communities.
Accor currently operates 28 hotels in Malaysia, with the signing of Mercure Living Genting Highlands marking a significant milestone in its expansion, adding 1,443 keys to its development pipeline. This project aims to enhance Genting Highlands’ appeal as a premier leisure and tourism destination.
