Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

Scene

Chain hotel with comfortable and casual atmosphere

Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru offers a comforting space for both leisure and business travelers. Guests are welcomed into a large and open lobby, with shiny tiled floors, large central pillars, and small lounge areas. The welcome signature chocolate chip cookies and juice are a nice touch. The main restaurant, Makan Place, features modern Malaysian flair in its decor with black and white checkered tiled floors, brown wooden walls with pattered white panels, simplistic decor placed on the shelves surrounding the room, and cafe-style seating. Axis Lounge provides an ideal spot to relax or for casual business meetings with low-back sofa chairs, traditional sofas with coffee tables, and mood lighting creating a relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor area has lovely views overlooking the city, and includes a swimming pool with surrounding sun loungers and trees. Overall, the atmosphere is casual with a mix of family travelers, couples, and business travelers.
