Theme Park Hotel, Genting

Theme Park Hotel, Genting. (N3°25.319' E101°47.606')

We reached the hotel around 3pm. It's took us around 45 minutes from Jalan Ipoh to Genting Highland. The journey was smooth and without any traffic jam....

The First World Hotel at the back.

It's so lucky that we found a parking lot at the Theme Park Hotel Carpark (N3°25.310' E101°47.606'). Check-in with a friendly staff from the lobby reception. The room rate was MYR235.00 (included tax) for one queen bed and one single bed. (It was peak season because of the school holiday)

The room is spacious and equipped with bathtub.

This is the only comment I have, look at the dirt sign on the mosaic.

After resting a while in the hotel, we started to explore around....

The walkway to the parking area.

The Lobby. Marrybrown is situated at the main entrance.

The Christmas atmosphere was good! Christmas carols are in every corner....

The Santa Claus

The Bear Band

The hotel basically was ok for us. It's close to the Outdoor Theme Park Entrance, just next to the hotel. We just wanna bring our daughther to have some fun over here...
The Resort Hotel just opposite and the First World Hotel just few step away...It was convenience to move around.

The History of Theme Park Hotel :

Theme Park Hotel is the first hotel to be built at Genting Highlands Resort at its early development in 1971. Initially, Theme Park Hotel was called Highlands Hotel, but it was renamed later on.

The hotel was initially planned on March 31 1969 by the founder of Genting Berhad, Lim Goh Tong from Fujian, China who migrated to Malaysia in his early age. Looking at his great effort, Malaysia's first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman was touched and gave him the one and only license to operate casino in Malaysia on April 28 1969.

Theme Park Hotel is located exactly at the main entrance to Genting outdoor theme park. It has two restaurants at its ground floor, which are Happy Valley restaurant and Penang Food Village restaurant.

To accommodate its increasing guests, not long after its development, Resorts World Bhd add more rooms called Valley Wing, attached to the main hotel building.
