Did you know Swiss-Belhotel properties are owned by a group of New Zealand and Hong Kong partners? It is headquartered in Hong Kong and operates hotels across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. In Kuantan, Swiss-Belhotel was built as part of the larger Kuantan Waterfront Resort City (KWRC) project. It was designed with two towers. One tower operates as the Swiss-Belhotel, while the other tower is the service apartment, known as the Imperium Residence. Both towers share the same facilities, such as the swimming pool, gymnasium, and podium amenities. Opened in 2020, this hotel is 27 stories high and offers 366 rooms. Its key facilities include: - Swimming Pool - 8am to 7pm - Gymnasium - 8am to 7pm - Kids Water Playground - 8am to 7pm - Kids Playground - 8am to 7pm - Swiss-Café Restaurant - 6am to 10.30pm - In-Room Dining - 11am to 10.30pm - J’Classics Restaurant (Chinese) - 10.30am to 2.30pm and 5.30pm to 10.30pm - Sawasdee Bay Restaurant (Thai) - 5pm to 11pm The rooms start from the 6th to 28th level. The building offers two views: sea and city. I have booked a Studio Room with Sea View and was accommodated in room no. B-25-15 on level 25. The room is comfortably spacious at 38 square metres. There are no charging ports except for multi-power sockets at the bedside. Unfortunately, there is no smart TV. Besides the free-to-air local channels, a few cable channels are offered such as AXN, HanKuk TV & RTM World. The shower pressure was strong, although the hot shower temperature tended to drop after some time. There is a mini mart on the ground floor which opens from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. (till 12 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). For food, the popular Ana Ikan Bakar is just a 300m (5-minute) walk from the hotel. For transportation, a ride-hailing service from Terminal Sentral Kuantan (TSK) to the hotel took about 20 mins and cost RM11.33 during the mid-afternoon. My ride from the hotel to the shopping malls, East Coast Mall and Kuantan City Mall, cost RM7.21 during an off-peak period. During my check-in, I found some hairs in the room. The bathroom floor was also not wiped dry. The housekeeping on the subsequent two days was better, though inconsistent in standards. The room maintenance could have been better, as I noticed some wear and tear and mould in the bathroom. Despite these, I would still recommend a stay here, as this falls into one of the top three hotels to stay in Kuantan city, besides Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort and AC Hotel Kuantan (Marriott).
