Putrajaya has long been recognised as Malaysia’s administrative capital. Today, however, the city is steadily building a new identity as a destination for leisure, business events, dining, and weekend getaways.
At the centre of this transformation is IOI Resort City, home to Le Méridien Putrajaya, Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya, and Moxy Putrajaya. Together, the three properties are helping create a more diverse tourism and hospitality ecosystem that caters to families, business travellers, event organisers, and local visitors.
A Growing Destination for Leisure and Business
Modern travellers increasingly seek destinations that combine accommodation, dining, entertainment, and event facilities within a single location.
Located next to IOI City Mall and connected by major transportation routes, IOI Resort City offers visitors the convenience of enjoying multiple experiences without travelling across different parts of the city.
This integrated approach is strengthening Putrajaya’s position as both a leisure destination and a growing hub for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE).
Le Méridien Putrajaya Celebrates a Decade of Hospitality
Approaching its 10th anniversary this year, Le Méridien Putrajaya continues to be one of the city’s key hospitality landmarks.
The hotel features 19 event spaces that regularly host weddings, corporate functions, conferences, and social celebrations. Its direct connection to IOI City Mall also creates a seamless experience for guests seeking accommodation, shopping, and dining under one roof.
Dining remains one of the hotel’s strongest attractions. Popular outlets such as Le Mei, Latest Recipe, and Latitude 02 offer a variety of culinary experiences that attract both hotel guests and local diners throughout the year.
Palm Garden Hotel Highlights Malaysian Heritage
For travellers seeking a slower and more relaxed experience, Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya offers a resort-inspired retreat surrounded by greenery.
The property embraces Malaysian culture through its architecture, atmosphere, and dining concepts. One of its standout attractions is Madam Lee Nyonya Private Dining, which showcases traditional Peranakan cuisine in an intimate setting.
Guests can also enjoy local-inspired beverages at Baba Bar, signature coffee experiences through Kopi Dulu, and a range of Malaysian and international dishes at Palms Café.
Moxy Putrajaya Brings a Fresh Social Experience
Adding a different dimension to the destination is Moxy Putrajaya, which targets younger and lifestyle-focused travellers.
Known for its energetic atmosphere and vibrant social spaces, the hotel encourages interaction through communal areas, casual dining, and entertainment-focused experiences.
Its rooftop Moxy Bar has become a popular spot for visitors seeking panoramic views of Putrajaya while enjoying evening gatherings and social events.

The combined presence of these three hospitality brands reflects the broader evolution of Putrajaya as a destination that extends beyond government offices and administrative functions.
By offering a mix of luxury stays, heritage-inspired experiences, social hospitality concepts, destination dining, and event facilities, IOI Resort City is contributing to the city’s growing appeal among domestic and international travellers.
