Fairfield by Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary brands, today announced the opening of Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Besut, the third Fairfield by Marriott in Malaysia and first along the country’s East Coast. Located at Besut Town, the 98-room hotel is set to offer an uncomplicated hotel experience that provides guests with a warm and comfortable environment while traveling, allowing travelers to enjoy the coastal beauty of Terengganu.
“We are thrilled to unveil Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Besut, our third Fairfield hotel in Malaysia. Fairfield by Marriott is the second largest brand within Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio with a footprint of over 1,280 properties, and with the arrival of this new hotel we reinforce our commitment to growth in the east coast region of Malaysia,” said Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President, Malaysia and Indonesia. “We are positive that Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Besut will complement our existing portfolio of over fifty Marriott Bonvoy hotels in the country.”
Nestled on the northeastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Kuala Besut is a charming gateway to Perhentian Islands. The quaint fishing village, with vibrant markets and picturesque harbor, offers a serene escape, while the unspoiled beaches and verdant landscapes create an idyllic backdrop for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. Fairfield by Marriott celebrates the beauty of simplicity with a seamless, reliable hotel experience and offers a stay where guests can escape the chaos of travel and get back to a more calm, balanced place. Fairfield’s design is warm, timeless, forward-thinking, and inviting with simple nods back to the brand’s heritage. Inspired by the heritage of the Marriott family country retreat, this newly opened Fairfield property pays homage to the restorative environment of Kuala Besut, characterized by warm hospitality, all at a great value.
The hotel is easily accessible from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport in Kota Bharu and Sultan Mahmud Airport in Kuala Terengganu, offering easy access to Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa via its private jetty that includes ferry transfer, allowing worry-free return travels from Kuala Besut to the island, Perhentian Kecil.
Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Besut features 98 spacious and well-equipped rooms as well as the Solo Traveler’s Pod, a simple and hassle-free option to relax comfortably. Each guestroom is impactful and unique, while addressing the functional needs of the Fairfield guest for a seamless experience. The room was designed with the modern traveler in mind, allowing for productivity on the road without overcomplicating the guestroom.
The hotel showcases Fairfield’s flexible public spaces, ideal for connecting with other travellers, working or simply to relax. The all-day dining restaurant, Fairfield Kitchen, offers both a healthy, nutritious, breakfast to start to the day and wholesome meals into the evening. Guests can also maintain their exercise regimen while travelling at the 24-hour fitness center, and access the Perhentian Marriott Waiting Lounge, close to the hotel lobby, with concierge services to assist with travel plans.
“Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Besut is a trusted choice for guests seeking an effortless stay, nutritious meals with local flavor, and warm service. From our modern décor and welcoming staff to The Fairfield GuaranteeTM, the hotel is an excellent option for business and leisure travelers who want to explore the east coast region of Malaysia,” said Anne Busfield, Cluster General Manager, Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Besut & Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa.
