The hotel will feature an executive lounge and five dining concepts including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant and a pool bar.

The property will also offer an events space spanning approximately 800 sq m, and a ballroom of approximately 400 sq m.

Alexandra Jaritz, Hilton’s senior vice president, brand management, Asia Pacific, said: “For over a century, Hilton Hotels & Resorts has set the benchmark for hospitality around the world. With the resort’s prime location, thoughtful design, plentiful dining options and signature Hilton hospitality, I am confident that Hilton Burau Bay Resort Langkawi will raise the bar for exceptional guest experiences here on the island and across the country.”
