First World Hotel, before the upgrade. |
When we talk about something largest in the
world, it’s already become something special to looking up to. So with the Largest
Hotel in the World, few hotel operators in the world try their best to make sure they
don’t lose this title!
First World Hotel and Plaza located in Genting
Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia with total of 7,351 rooms, has set the Guinness World
Record for the largest hotel in the world (by number of rooms). It’s lost its
title to The Venetian in Las Vegas when it’s opened on January 2008. By 2015 it’s
regained back the title with the opening of a new block. The hotel has received
35.5 million guests since 2006.
Genting Highlands Resort, is a large complex in the top of the mountains. |
First World Hotel is one part for the whole
Genting Hinglands Resort areas that consist of hotels, malls, casinos, theme
parks, convention centres, and concert hall with many other attractions nearby.
Currently the whole Genting Highlands Resort is under upgrading to allow the
construction of the world’s first 20th Century Fox World that will be opened in
2018.
There are not many things to do during this
upgrading period and Genting Highlands still been visit by tourist from inside and
outside of the country.
It is
the area where this resort is located that makes people keep on coming. The cooling
breeze and the surrounding nature provide relaxing moments during their time
staying here. This is totally different from nearby city of Kuala Lumpur with its rushing and busy traffics.
The upgrading of the whole complex will include
the transport facilities upgrade with more automation stations for cable car
ticket to the check-in for the hotel. Even though the complex’s upgrade is
still in progress, it might be wonderful to check in just to know what to
expect when its fully completed.
