ORMOND HOTELS PUTS MALAYSIA ON THE MAP WITH TWO NEW AWARDS

The Ormond Group is pleased to announce that The Chow Kit - An Ormond Hotel has been awarded Best Hotel Renovation & Restoration and Best Visual Identity at the 2021 AHEAD Awards organised by Sleeper Magazine. The Awards are dedicated to the relentless pursuit of the exceptional, recognising hospitality design in all its forms, and the guest experiences created in hospitality projects worldwide. It was incredibly special for us to have received this recognition on Malaysia Day. As the only category winner from Malaysia this year, The Chow Kit is proud to represent Kuala Lumpur as a design city in the region alongside established brands like the Aman, Rosewood and Capella Group. Previous category winners include Raffles Hotel in Singapore, Amanyangyun in China, Jackalope in Australia and Eaton Hotel in Hong Kong.

The Hotel Renovation & Restoration award celebrates exceptional design and architecture, contributing to the hospitality experience of a hotel project which is a restoration of an existing building. The Chow Kit was praised for its “impressive transformation that has infused the new perspective of a neighbourhood in rejuvenation”, maintaining elements of the regional cultural context and historical relevance within the Chow Kit neighbourhood. “Being located in such a historically rich neighbourhood bustling with stories to be told, we felt it was imperative for us to take cues from the familiarity of Malaysia and the modern worldliness of the city, blending cosmopolitan and cosy finishes with comfort. Great design, experience and service is the cornerstone of every Ormond property and we’re grateful for this recognition. Chow Kit is one of the most underrated neighbourhoods in South East Asia and we look forward to welcoming all adventure and culture seekers.” said Gareth Lim, CEO of Ormond Group.

The Chow Kit also received a special award for Best Visual Identity which recognises exceptional design for the overall visual identity of a hotel brand, including elements such as graphic design, digital marketing materials, signage and physical collaterals. Judges recognised The Chow Kit for its unique representation of simplified luxury, the balanced essence of comfort and purpose captured and translated through a variety of mediums from menus and signage to door hangers and light fixtures. Working closely with local artists and curators such as Mey Kamal, Bendang Artisan and Liza Ho, the building honours and reinterprets the past, with local materials showcased throughout the hotel. “The Chow Kit celebrates simplified luxury while maintaining a strong cultural connection to the Chow Kit neighborhood. Our team has been hard at work to provide travelers an inspiring and memorable experience in Kuala Lumpur.” added Krystle Ng, Head of Brand & Marketing at the Ormond Group.

In celebration of this achievement, The Chow Kit would like to thank their guests for their unwavering support throughout these trying times.
