KUALA LUMPUR: The Ormond Group has once again earned international recognition, with Tune Hotel KLIA-KLIA2 taking home two major accolades at this year’s World Travel Awards — Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel and Malaysia’s Leading Airport Hotel.
The double victory cements Ormond Group’s growing reputation as one of Asia’s most progressive hospitality companies and reflects its refreshed brand architecture, now anchored by four distinct identities: Tune Hotels, MoMo’s, An Ormond Hotel and Ormond Hotels.
“These awards are more than recognition — they reflect the strength of our vision as a group,” said Ormond Group chief executive officer Navin Singh.
“Each of our brands serves a different kind of traveller, but they are united by one belief: that great hospitality lies in simplicity, sincerity and thoughtful detail.”
Rest and recharge in style; the Tune Hotel Premium Room offers essential comforts elevated by smart, modern design.
A benchmark for airport hospitality
For Tune Hotel KLIA-KLIA2, the dual win marks yet another milestone in a decade of excellence — officially recognising it as the best airport hotel in both Asia and Malaysia. Located just minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2, the hotel continues to define what smart, accessible hospitality can be.
“Being an airport hotel means we are often a short part of a traveller’s journey — but that short stay can shape how they remember Malaysia,” said Tune Hotel KLIA-KLIA2 general manager Carolene Bosco.
“We’re proud that guests consistently trust us for comfort, value and convenience — the essentials done right.”
Equipped for focus and flooded with natural light, this is the smart space for your professional meetings.
Evolving the Ormond Group portfolio
This recognition comes at a defining moment for Ormond Group as it continues to grow and refine its portfolio for a new generation of travellers.
Tune Hotels remains the group’s value-driven brand, defined by the promise of “Comfort, Value, Convenience.” With a focus on reliability, accessibility and smart design, Tune continues to expand into key airport and secondary city markets.
MoMo’s, guided by the tagline “Simple Stays, Elevated by Design,” represents the group’s creative and design-forward offering. It embodies playful simplicity with a creative soul, where thoughtful design, culture and connection come together seamlessly. MoMo’s caters to curious, social travellers seeking style without formality and community without convention — offering an experience that is modern, approachable and full of personality.
The An Ormond Hotel collection, led by the award-winning The Chow Kit – An Ormond Hotel, embodies “Luxury, Simplified.” Each property blends design, character and authenticity, redefining modern luxury through warmth, honesty and a sense of place. The brand’s next opening in Desaru will once again be designed by Post Company, the New York-based studio behind The Chow Kit’s acclaimed interiors.
Ormond Hotels represents “Essential Comforts, Thoughtfully Delivered.” It captures the reassurance of dependable, classic hospitality — the kind where everything just works, delivered with warmth, integrity, and care.
The brand’s first property, Ormond Sandakan, will introduce this philosophy to Sabah’s coastal city, bringing understated elegance and ease to East Malaysia.
Welcome to MAKAN, where the inviting dining and lounge area offers a relaxed, all-day dining experience for travellers of all walks of life.
Growth, purpose and people
The Ormond Group is a forward-thinking hospitality company based in Malaysia, operating four distinctive brands — Ormond Hotels, An Ormond Hotel, Tune Hotels and MoMo’s.
United by a shared belief that true hospitality lies in thoughtful design, genuine service and a sense of place, Ormond Group is redefining what travel feels like for today’s discerning, design-conscious guests.
The group’s upcoming openings reflect a thoughtful approach to growth — balancing adaptive reuse, acquisition and strategic expansion across Asia.
The launch of Ormond Sandakan, a reimagining of the former Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, marks a significant milestone as the brand’s first property and a cornerstone for Ormond’s presence in East Malaysia.
In Japan, the recent acquisition of the Shakespeare Hotel in Hakuba signals Ormond Group’s entry into the country’s alpine hospitality market, underscoring its commitment to meaningful growth in culturally rich destinations.
Beyond expansion, the group continues to invest in people. Through its Management Trainee programme, developed in collaboration with leading hospitality schools, Ormond Group is nurturing the next generation of industry leaders. The initiative provides hands-on experience and mentorship across its award-winning hotels, ensuring a future shaped by creativity, empathy and excellence.
