Antara Genting Highlands 9 PAX
Room for nine, with a spa to match.
About this hotel
The name gives away the point of this unit: it's built to sleep a group of nine, with a sofa bed adding flexible capacity alongside the standard sleeping arrangements, which makes it a genuinely practical choice for extended family trips or groups of friends rather than couples. Air-conditioning, a private bathroom and a kitchenette with balcony and mountain views cover the basics, while a washing machine handles laundry for a group staying several days without everyone needing to pack for the whole trip. The spa and wellness centre, sauna and outdoor swimming pool give the group somewhere to relax together, and a hot tub, fitness room and electric vehicle charging station round out a facility list that's more complete than the unit's practical framing might suggest. The restaurant serves a variety of cuisines, with a terrace and garden for eating outside when the weather allows. First World Plaza is a 14-minute walk, close enough to reach on foot rather than needing transport for every trip into town, and the Royal Selangor Pewter Factory and Visitor Centre sits 44 kilometres off for a longer excursion.
- Sleeps up to nine
- Spa and wellness centre
- Washing machine in unit
- 14-minute walk to First World Plaza
Our take
Antara Genting Highlands 9 PAX is a smart pick for a large group that would otherwise split across several standard rooms: it sleeps up to nine, with a sofa bed on top of the regular beds, and the washing machine in the unit solves the laundry question. Guests share a spa and wellness centre, a sauna and an outdoor pool, and First World Plaza is a 14-minute walk. The 8.5 score rests on only 11 reviews.
- Book this specifically if your group is nine or fewer, since the sofa bed configuration is built around that number.
- Use the washing machine partway through a longer stay rather than packing enough clothes for everyone for the full trip.
- Walk to First World Plaza rather than arranging transport, since the 14-minute distance makes it genuinely walkable.
Why we love it
- Sleeps a group of nine with a sofa bed included
- Spa and wellness centre plus sauna, unusual for a group unit
- Washing machine solves the laundry problem for longer group stays
- 14-minute walk to First World Plaza
