PARIS and NEW YORK and LONDON, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AMTD Group Inc. (“AMTD Group”), AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB), AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD), and The Generation Essentials Group (“TGE”, NYSE: TGE; LSE: TGE), a subsidiary of AMTD Digital Inc., (collectively, “AMTD”) jointly announce the successful completion of TGE’s acquisition of super majority interests in the Upper View Regalia Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a total consideration of US$38 million .
The Upper View Regalia Hotel is located at No. 2 Jalan Anjung Putra, Off Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50480, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Strategically positioned in the heart of the city’s main commercial and business district, the property enjoys excellent connectivity and convenient access to key landmarks, including Sunway Putra Mall and Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), both just a few minutes’ walk away, as well as the nearby Open University Malaysia.
The property comprises 129 guest rooms and 80 car parking bays, and features a signature rooftop infinity pool offering panoramic views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline by day and night. Following completion of the acquisition, the hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation. Further, AMTD rooftop signage will be installed, making the hotel a new addition to AMTD’s branded hotel portfolio, alongside iclub AMTD Sheung Wan Hotel (Hong Kong), Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore, and AMTD IDEA Tribeca Hotel (New York).
AMTD branded hotels focus on serving global citizens and local communities that value high-quality lifestyle and hospitality experiences. Malaysia represents a key strategic market for AMTD, underpinned by resilient economic growth, robust consumer spending, and one of the largest Chinese‑speaking populations outside China. AMTD is committed to meeting the evolving hospitality and mobility needs of Malaysia’s growing Chinese and broader Asian communities.
This hospitality investment further reinforces AMTD’s broader, long-term commitment to the Malaysian market. In the film sector, AMTD produced the Malaysian film “Mother Bhumi,” directed by award-winning filmmaker Chong Keat Aun and starring Fan Bingbing, with AMTD founder Dr. Calvin Choi serving as executive producer. The film has enjoyed notable success, winning three awards at the 62nd Golden Horse Awards, including Best Leading Actress for Fan Bingbing, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Film Song. Most recently, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, granted a royal audience to Fan Bingbing and the “Mother Bhumi” production team at Istana Pasir Pelangi. In addition, AMTD’s L’OFFICIEL (Women’s Edition), L’OFFICIEL Hommes (Men’s Edition), and LA REVUE DES MONTRES (luxury watch review) all perform strongly and are deeply integrated into Malaysia’s fashion, culture, and lifestyle landscape. From entering the market through film and media to now establishing a physical hospitality presence, AMTD’s strategy in Malaysia is to deeply cultivate the market and create long-term, sustainable value.
The completion of this transaction represents another important strategic milestone in the expansion of TGE’s hospitality portfolio. Upon closing, AMTD’s hospitality portfolio now approaches a total of 1,000 rooms, further reinforcing its expanding footprint and long-term commitment to the global hospitality space.
