ZEN Rooms Malaysia Country Manager Maxime Chaury comments “when customers stay in a ZEN Home, they are sure to pay the most competitive rate in the market which is 25% less than other chains and are guaranteed to benefit from the years of best-in-class hospitality experience that ZEN Rooms provides. Like many other big cities in Klang Valley, Shah Alam has a huge potential as a tourist destination. We’re planning to expand ZEN Homes and grow by another 250 units in 2019.
