Exciting new developments have redefined Resorts World Genting, one of the world’s leading resort operators. It is now even more vibrant and multifaceted than ever before, adding a new dimension to one’s holiday experience. Resort World Genting is the only resort in Malaysia that allows visitors to enjoy a variety of attractions at 6,000 feet above sea level with cool weather ranging from 14 – 22 degrees daily. Are you ready to explore the BRAND NEW Resorts World Genting, and find out what exciting new things is waiting for you to explore there?
1) Meet the NEWLY-Revamped Theme Park Hotel
The Theme Park Hotel in Resorts World Genting holds many nostalgic memories for the generations of guests who have stayed in the rooms and enjoyed its proximity to the magical world of Malaysia’s only mountaintop amusement park. Since the closure of the attraction in 2013, the Theme ParK Hotel followed suit, but only so it could re-emerge ready to give a whole new generation of thrill seekers an insight into creative hotel expansion.
The oldest hotel at Resorts World Genting, the Theme Park Hotel was built in the seventies and formerly known as the Highlands Hotel. Subsequently, it seems logical for the hotel to be named Theme Park Hotel when the theme park was built next to it. The hotel is now opened – a nod to its proximity to the first-in-the-world Twentieth Century Fox World theme park.
In their old configuration, each room could house two to three guests. Expecting an influx of visitors with the soon to be opened Twentieth Century Fox World Theme Park, Resorts World Genting is doubling the capacity of the rooms by making the beds the central feature of the rooms. Most rooms now feature a built in, tatami-style raised platform on which are two queen sized beds which can comfortably hold four guests. A built-up bunk bed above the platform holds another queen sized mattress, effectively enabling six visitors in a room.
The raised sleeping platforms also serve as storage spaces. Compartments in the platforms are used to store luggage, while room safes are also built into the drawer space. Clothes are hung on knobs around which artists have drawn outlines of closets. The television set too is hung on brackets, with artwork around it to make it seem that it is enclosed in a TV cabinet.
There are also four honeymoon suites in the property, located in the valley wing which overlooks an uninterrupted panorama of the Genting valley offering stunning views of natural mountain forests. The suites, designed around the four fun stages of romance – courtship, proposal, wedding and honeymoon – are all executed as stand-alone units, unique in décor, feel and furnishing.
2) A Whole NEW Experience in Retail Therapy at SkyAvenue
Branded a new-concept lifestyle mall, SkyAvenue consists of 1.434 million sq ft of gross floor area tenanted by an eclectic cohort of retail options and F&B establishments aimed at appealing to the captive market of Resort World Genting’s of over 20 million visitors annually. SkyAvenue offers 616,079 sq ft of lettable space over five floors which will be helmed by 168 tenants and 160 brands once SkyAvenue is fully opened by 2018.
SkyAvenue is a unique retail concept because it was conceived as an amalgamation of the things that Resorts World Genting do best: entertainment, dining and retail catered specifically to Resorts World Genting varied visitor profile.
There is also an electronic mood board which consists of three-storey high LED walls made up of small LED modules to form wraparound screens at the concourse area at SkyAvenue. The screens have been placed in a way which immerses visitors into the panoramic sight and sound presentations projected on the screens. The immersive, nature-themed electronic presentation runs throughout the day.
3) Of Wonderwalls and Amazing Balls – SkySymphony Light and Sound Show
The huge atrium at the tail end of SkyAvenue has been the main attraction to many visitors since it opened in late December. Thanks to its giant LED screen shows and recently added winch installation performances, the SkySymphony.
The giant LED screen shows, an electronic mood board consists of three-storey high LED walls made up of small LED modules to form wraparound screens, is the biggest in Malaysia, if not the world. The biggest of these screens measure up to 25m x 12m and are placed in a way which immerses visitors into panoramic sight and sound presentations.
This panoramic, immersive, nature-themed electronic presentation which runs throughout the day, is the largest permanent winch installations and the first multimedia winch attraction in Asia.
