Water Ski World Cup Speeds Up Putrajaya Opening

Where: Lot 5P2 Precint 5, Putrajaya, Malaysia, 62000

The Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside Hotel isn't really supposed to be ready until January 2009, but there's nothing like the smell of publicity from a nearby world sports event to get hotel management talking about a soft opening.

Located on Putrajaya Lake in Malaysia, not too far away from Kuala Lumpur, the resort includes a spa, five restaurants and 283 rooms split across four different accommodation wings, each with a different slant on the Malaysian multi-ethnic theme. With a few different purposes in mind, the resort also has more than twenty meeting rooms plus an outdoor amphitheater for 250 people.

With the International Water Ski Federation holding the fifth leg of the World Cup at the water sports complex next door in early November, the folks at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside obviously decided it was worth trying a soft open. Their website isn't showing any availability for November or early December dates yet, but with the Waterski and Wakeboard World Cup happening on November 7 - 9, we're expecting some rooms to pop up closer to the time when they're sure they'll be (partially) ready.
