Crockfords Hotel at Resorts World Genting (RWG) in Genting Highlands has retained its five-star rating with the Forbes Travel Guide, making it the sixth consecutive year of the hotel securing this acclaimed award.

A five-star Forbes Travel Guide rating is the highest honour awarded by the global rating system.

The very embodiment of luxury, Crockfords is the only hotel in Malaysia to receive the prestigious Five-Star accolade and among only 340 hotels and properties worldwide bestowed with Forbes Travel Guide’s acclaimed recognition.

“We are indeed thrilled to once again be acknowledged by Forbes Travel Guide as a world-class luxury hotel on par with some of the very best in the world,” said Resorts World Genting hotel operations vice-president David Leung Ming Sum.

“Crockfords’ raison d’être is to delight and exceed guests’ expectations on all service points. Our staff delve deep and are highly skilled at pushing the envelope to deliver unique and memorable experiences of the highest hospitality standards for our guests,” he added.

Crockfords has established itself as a purveyor of luxury staycations and leader in personalised guest experiences.

Additionally, from the list of 1443 worldwide properties ranked by the Forbes Travel Guide this year, two of RWG properties – Genting Grand emerged as a Forbes 4-Star Property and Highlands Hotel as a Forbes Recommended Property, making it the seventh year these hotels have upheld their respective recognitions.

The Forbes Travel Guide is the only independent global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas worldwide. A hotel must offer exceptional guest experience and services in order to qualify for a Five-Star rating.

Among the criteria include flawless attention to detail and a passion for exacting standards in personalised services.

Perched 6,000 feet above sea level, the elegant hotel boasts unobstructed scenic views of the surrounding rainforest and mountainous landscape in all of its 177 rooms comprising three villas, 19 signature suites featuring three unique themes, 13 junior suites and 142 superior rooms.

It is Malaysia’s swankiest hidden gem and the very epitome of luxury and grandeur with sleek interiors inspired by posh London mansions.

The suites feature in-room private steam bath and luxurious Greek Calacatta marble restroom fixtures.  

The hotel goes above and beyond to provide a carefully tailored personalised experience and intuitive guest care according to needs and preferences. This can include offering ginger tea, which is known for its health benefits especially for elderly guests, and providing kid amenities such as toys for guests’ children.
