PUTRAJAYA, 11 JUNE 2026 – IOI Resort City, a leading integrated lifestyle, hospitality and events destination, is emerging as a key driver of Putrajaya’s growing tourism and MICE landscape as the city broadens its appeal beyond its role as Malaysia’s administrative capital. Home to Le Méridien Putrajaya, Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya and Moxy Putrajaya, the destination brings together award-winning stays, destination dining, celebrations and business events within a single precinct.

Together, these experiences are helping shape a more vibrant side of Putrajaya for leisure travellers, families, corporate groups and event organisers alike. At the heart of this ecosystem are three distinct hospitality experiences, each offering a different way to discover the city.

Whether indulging in the refined sophistication and discovery-led experiences of Le Méridien Putrajaya, unwinding amidst the heritage-inspired charm of Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya, or embracing the vibrant social energy of Moxy Putrajaya, guests can choose from experiences tailored to every travel style and occasion.

From weekend escapes and family holidays to destination weddings, milestone celebrations and corporate gatherings, each hotel brings its own personality to Putrajaya’s evolving hospitality landscape, reflecting the many ways visitors can choose to experience the city today. “Today’s travellers are increasingly seeking destinations that offer convenience, variety and seamless experiences within a single journey.

Whether travelling for leisure, celebrations or business, they want the flexibility to choose experiences that match their interests and pace, from sophisticated escapes and destination dining to vibrant social stays and heritage-inspired retreats.

As travel preferences continue to evolve, destinations that bring together different hospitality experiences within one ecosystem are becoming increasingly appealing, allowing guests to enjoy more of what matters to them within a single destination.” said Sonal Malik, General Manager of Le Méridien Putrajaya.

Le Méridien Putrajaya: A Decade of Discovery, Dining and Celebration As Le Méridien Putrajaya approaches its 10th anniversary in August this year, the hotel continues to embody the brand’s French-inspired philosophy of savouring the good life through culture, cuisine and meaningful connections. Over the years, it has become a familiar setting for weddings, milestone celebrations, conferences and corporate gatherings, supported by 19 versatile event spaces that have welcomed countless occasions of every scale.

Recognised by 2021 Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, the hotel’s eight distinct accommodation categories cater to a wide spectrum of travellers, from families and leisure guests to business visitors, creating a hospitality experience that balances discovery, comfort and connection under one roof. Directly connected to IOI City Mall, Le Méridien Putrajaya combines leisure experiences, destination dining, celebrations, business events and shopping within one integrated stay experience.

From celebrations to corporate gatherings, Le Méridien Putrajaya brings together accommodation, dining and event experiences within one destination, creating a seamless journey from planning to the occasion itself. Dining remains central to the Le Méridien experience, reflecting the brand’s belief that some of the most memorable journeys begin around the table.

At Le Mei, Executive Chinese Chef Lim Kian Meng brings more than two decades of culinary expertise to a menu rooted in Cantonese traditions, making it a popular choice for family gatherings, celebrations and business dining alike. Elsewhere, Latest Recipe brings people together through its vibrant buffet experiences, while Latitude 02 offers a relaxed setting for artisanal coffee, desserts and unhurried conversations.

Together, these dining destinations have become part of the rhythm of the hotel, attracting travellers and locals alike through experiences that extend well beyond an overnight stay. A hidden gem within Le Méridien Putrajaya, this signature Chinese restaurant is found exclusively at the hotel in Malaysia, where contemporary cuisine, elegant interiors and warm hospitality set the scene for family gatherings, business lunches and intimate wedding celebrations.

Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya: A Retreat Rooted in Local Heritage Offering a gentler pace within the destination is Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya, where Malaysian heritage and contemporary hospitality come together in a resort-inspired setting. Surrounded by lush greenery, the hotel provides a relaxed escape for families, couples and leisure travellers seeking a quieter retreat.

This sense of place is reflected in its dining experiences, particularly at Madam Lee Nyonya Private Dining, where traditional Peranakan flavours take centre stage, alongside Baba Bar, which reimagines local ingredients through Peranakan-inspired beverages. Guests can also experience Kopi Dulu, the hotel’s signature coffee ritual that pays homage to Malaysia’s rich coffee culture while enjoying the gentle breeze at the Courtyard, or savour a selection of local and international favourites at Palms Café.

With plans underway for its upcoming Durian Hub, Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya continues to celebrate local traditions through experiences that invite guests to slow down and savour the destination differently. More than a dining destination, Madam Lee Nyonya Private Dining offers an immersive journey into Peranakan heritage, where Northern Nyonya flavours, heritage-inspired interiors and cultural touches come together to celebrate one of Malaysia’s most distinctive traditions.

Moxy Putrajaya: Where the Social Scene Checks In Bringing a different energy to the destination is Moxy Putrajaya, where hospitality takes on a more playful and social character. Designed for travellers who value connection, spontaneity and self-expression, the hotel reimagines the traditional stay through vibrant communal spaces that encourage guests to mingle, unwind and make the most of every moment.

Whether challenging friends to a game in the social spaces, gathering over casual bites at Three.6.5, or winding down with cocktails at Moxy Bar while taking in panoramic views of Putrajaya after dark, the experience is designed around interaction and shared moments. It is this youthful spirit that has made Moxy Putrajaya a popular choice for staycations, weekend getaways and travellers seeking a more unconventional hospitality experience.

Perched above Putrajaya, Moxy Bar blends panoramic city views, playful local touches and vibrant social energy, making it a popular spot for sunset gatherings and after-hours conversations.

One Destination, Endless Possibilities Together, Le Méridien Putrajaya, Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya and Moxy Putrajaya reflect the many ways travellers are choosing to experience Putrajaya today, whether through discovery-led stays, vibrant social experiences, heritage-inspired retreats, destination dining, celebrations or business events.

At Le Méridien Putrajaya, that journey continues through signature experiences such as Au Soleil by Le Méridien, the popular Seafood & Carvery Buffet and stay packages that pair accommodation with breakfast experiences, inviting guests to savour the good life at their own pace.

As the hotel prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year, alongside the return of its highly anticipated Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncake collection, visitors can look forward to even more reasons to rediscover a different side of Putrajaya. From seasonal dining experiences and festive celebrations to weddings, business events and upcoming anniversary highlights, there is always something new to discover at Le Méridien Putrajaya.
