ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading management company in Southeast Asia specializing in hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences, continues its success in the Malaysian market by partnering with United Malayan Land Berhad (UMLand), one of the country's top real estate development companies, to open the OZO Medini hotel. This marks the third hotel that ONYX Hospitality Group has been entrusted to manage by UMLand, following the earlier launches of Amari Johor Bahru and Shama Suasana Johor Bahru.

OZO Medini is the second OZO-branded hotel in Malaysia, following OZO George Town Penang, and the fifth in Southeast Asia. It is also the sixth hotel in ONYX Hospitality Group's portfolio in Malaysia, reflecting the company's commitment to expanding its business into key markets across the region.

Mr. Yuttachai Jaranachit, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group, stated, "The opening of OZO Medini is another significant step for ONYX Hospitality Group in expanding our business into key markets in Southeast Asia, aligning with our vision to be 'The Best Medium-sized Hospitality Management Company in Southeast Asia.' This collaboration with UMLand is not just about launching a new hotel; it also aims to create a modern travel experience that seamlessly blends work and lifestyle."

"Johor is a high-potential location as a vital link between Malaysia and Singapore, attracting travelers from various countries for both business and leisure. The OZO brand stands out with its concept of 'Fun, Simple, and Complete in Every Detail,' offering a relaxing experience that combines comfort with technology to meet the needs of modern travelers, complete with amenities and designs that allow guests to unwind and connect with their destinations seamlessly," he added.

OZO Medini is located in the UMCity Medini Lakeside area, in the heart of Iskandar Puteri, Johor, which is one of the fastest-growing business and tourism districts in the country. The hotel is designed under the concept of "Sleep. Connect. Explore.", embodying the OZO brand's focus on comfort, simplicity, and vibrancy, making it suitable for modern travelers for both business and leisure.

OZO Medini held a soft opening last October, receiving positive market feedback, and is set for its official launch in 2026. The hotel features 198 rooms and suites, categorized into four types: Superior, Deluxe, Premier, and Junior Suite, all equipped with comprehensive amenities. It also offers various zones, including:

  • EAT – an all-day dining restaurant serving local and international cuisine.
  • CONNECT – a bar and co-working area for informal gatherings.
  • SPLASH – an outdoor pool with the "THIRST Poolside Bar" set to open soon.
  • TONE – a compact fitness center for active travelers.
  • TALK – a small meeting room for private events or workshops.

Additionally, the hotel plans to launch the CHILL Lounge — a versatile relaxation area for socializing, gaming, or working in a laid-back environment, reflecting the brand's concept of balancing work & play.

OZO Medini is situated on Persiaran Medini Sentral 1, in the heart of the business district and main tourist attractions of Iskandar Puteri, surrounded by the Mall of Medini, Legoland Malaysia, Puteri Harbour, and Eco Galleria, and is approximately a 30-minute drive from Senai International Airport.
