Global hospitality group Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has reached a partnership with J City Group and Trinidad Hospitality to manage the Wyndham Garden Kuantan, J-City hotel in Malaysia.

The collaboration marks an expansion of the Wyndham Garden brand in Malaysia, specifically on the east coast.

The Wyndham Garden Kuantan, J-City is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2026.

The property will feature 361 rooms and is located on Jalan Merdeka in the centre of Kuantan, Pahang. Once operational, Trinidad reports that it will be the tallest building in central Kuantan.

The establishment was previously a serviced apartment complex which has been converted for use as a luxury hotel.

Wyndham Garden Kuantan, J-City will provide suites varying from 743ft² to 1,299ft², and a multi-purpose hall for meetings and events.

Other facilities will include an Olympic-size infinity pool, a gymnasium, a jogging track, and a playground within landscaped grounds.

The location places guests within close proximity to major sites such as Kuantan 188, Esplanade Kuantan and East Coast Mall.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts APAC president Joon Aun OOI said: “We are thrilled to expand the Wyndham Garden brand in Kuantan through this strategic partnership.

“Together with J City Group and Trinidad Hospitality, we look forward to introducing a property that reflects our shared vision of quality, innovation, and exceptional guest experiences.”

The three involved parties formalised the agreement at a signing ceremony held at Ramada Suites by Wyndham KLCC.

Trinidad Hospitality president and chief executive officer Dato Sri Naresh Mohan said: “At Trinidad Hospitality, we are committed to managing properties that combine international standards with local character. Wyndham Garden Kuantan, J-City will be a showcase of that philosophy — delivering warmth, comfort, and memorable experiences for every guest.”
