Traders Hotel Puteri Harbour, Johor today
rebrands as Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor, becoming the tenth hotel
to adopt the new Hotel Jen brand by Shangri-La International Hotel
Management Ltd. Catering to a new “Jeneration” of independently
minded business and leisure travellers, the brand has quickly launched
ten hotels in seven months in nine cities in Asia Pacific.
Puteri Harbour lies within Iskandar Malaysia, the new southern
development corridor in Johor identified as one of the key developments
to spur the growth of the Malaysian economy. The launch today of Hotel
Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor highlights Shangri-La’s long-term commitment
to the Malaysia market.
The Hotel Jen brand is inspired by virtual persona Jen, a professional
hotelier who loves life, travel and the adventure of discovering new
places. Hotel Jen takes care of guests with efficiency and care while
giving them informed access to the best a destination has to offer.
Hotel Jen provides travellers greater flexibility to blend the
boundaries between business and leisure.
Mr. Greg Dogan, president and CEO of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts,
said: “The opening of Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor is extremely
important for our organisation. We’ve built a strong brand presence in
Malaysia and will continue to grow and build solid long-term
associations with our business partners and stakeholders.
“We recognise the growth of travellers with a ‘millennial’ mindset who
seek simple pleasures, easy efficiencies and the opportunity to indulge
their sense of adventure when travelling for leisure or business. True
to the new brand, the Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour team embraces the changing
demands of today’s more independently minded travellers and we are
proud to introduce the Hotel Jen brand to meet the needs of our
existing and new customers.”
Mr. Sigi Bierbaumer, general manager of Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour,
added: “The rebrand to Hotel Jen will set new standards for guest
experiences, which shows in the changing demands of today’s customers,
both the new and ‘millennial’ mindset and the increasingly socially
enabled ‘young-at-heart’ existing customer. It is a revolution and all
about changing our approach, starting at the very heart of our hotel –
our staff.
“The first thing guests will notice as they enter the hotel is
less-formal staff uniforms. An informed and friendly service style
continues by allowing guests to discover the best of where they are
through unique recommendations, from the theme park experiences and
attractions to bars and restaurants in town. The Hotel Jen team will be
a guest’s own personal local lifestyle guide, making them truly feel
like they are staying with a friend.”
Embracing the concept of ‘staying with a friend’, guests will notice
the extra touches on the in-room and restaurant dining options, which
feature fresh local products selected for flavour, fusion and fun. For
added convenience, the hotel features a vending machine with beverage
and snack items priced at convenience-store levels and a ‘Grab&Go’
deli counter offering quick meal solutions.
Cutting-edge technology is also key to catering to the highly social,
young-at-heart traveller. Free WiFi everywhere, all the time, and
convenient mobile charging stations throughout the hotel and a
PressReader app with free access to 2,500 online publications,
replacing the traditional morning newspaper, are some of the many
features on offer at Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor.
In addition,
simple pleasures, such as a laundry wash-and-fold service for unlimited
items in the laundry bag at one price, complimentary fruit-infused
waters and signature iced teas in summer and free coffee and
snack-box-to-go options after breakfast allow guests to get on with the
things they care about most – life, travel and discovery.
The SkyBar, Bar & Restaurant beside the infinity pool overlooks the
harbour, providing a spectacular view of the Johor straits through to
Singapore.
Guest comfort and safety are an absolute priority and there will be no
compromise on existing, high-quality standards.
Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor is located in the special economic zone
of Iskandar Malaysia, at the Puteri Harbour waterfront in the Nusajaya
Zone. It is surrounded by the Johor New State Administration Centre,
the medical hub and University Park. The hotel is a 15-minute drive
from the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link, one hour from Singapore Changi

Theme parks and attractions are a major draw for families and the
young-at-heart. Legoland Malaysia is located within close proximity,

architecture and surrounded externally with waterscapes and lush
gardens.

About Hotel Jen’s Chinese name:
今旅
Today – Travel
Jen, a lover of life, fun, adventure and discovery, wanted a Chinese
name to reflect that. ‘Jin’ (today) is about the importance of living
every day to its fullest, in the moment, and Lü (travel) represents the
idea that life is about exploring new cultures, experiences and ways of
being you.
Together, the characters inspire others to ‘travel today’, so why not
be a little spontaneous? Jen can’t wait to host you.
