“Regarded as one of the great hotels in Asia in its heyday, The Majestic Hotel was once a prestigious landmark in Kuala Lumpur akin to the likes of London’s Dorchester, Hong Kong’s Peninsula, Singapore Raffles, New York’s Waldorf Astoria and George V in Paris. It is a great honor to have been given the responsibility of restoring this national heritage to its former glory.” said Tan Sri’ (Dr) Francis Yeoh Sock Ping, in his opening speech at The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, grand opening on 8 December 2012.
