New Launches That Allow Short-Term Stay in Malaysia

We have reviewed 2, MABA Suitez and Phoeniz Suites. Both are in KL City Centre, where visitors and business travellers want to stay. The list grows as we review new projects.

It means letting your home to visitors by the night or the week, through platforms such as Airbnb, instead of to one tenant on a yearly tenancy.

No. Each building sets its own rules and many do not allow it. Check before you buy. Every project on this page allows short-term stay.

Yes, you can. Many of the buyers live out of town. A management team runs the suite for them from A to Z, with marketing, check-in and check-out, tenant management, housekeeping and maintenance of the suite. They do not need to be there.

Some operators use a profit-sharing model, such as 70-30 or 80-20. The owner keeps the 70% or 80% and the operator, the management team, takes the 30% or 20%. Talk to us on WhatsApp if you would like to know more.

It suits an investor who wants monthly income from a city-centre address and does not want to run the suite. Both projects here have a management team to do that. Returns depend on the nightly rate, the nights booked and your costs. We can work through the figures for your budget.

It can when your share of the income from guests is more than your monthly costs. Those costs are the loan instalment and the maintenance fee. Income changes with the season and the nights booked and nobody can promise it. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will work out the break-even figure for the suite you are looking at.

In our experience it averages around 80% to 85% in the city centre. The rate depends on the operator and its management experience, the season, and how near the suite is to public transport and the tourist hotspots. Talk to us on WhatsApp and we can share more.

Short-term stay can earn more in busy months and the owner is allowed certain days of free stay. A yearly tenancy gives one steady rent with less to manage. You can choose either at the projects here.

Three groups of guests. People who come to the city-centre offices on a short business trip. Travellers on a short holiday. Medical tourists who stay after surgery or treatment until they are well enough to fly home. Several groups of guests help keep a suite booked through the year. MABA Suitez is next to Merdeka 118 and Phoeniz Suites is near the Petronas Twin Towers.

MABA Suitez starts from RM699,000 and Phoeniz Suites from RM1.016mil. We can send you the latest price list for each project.

MABA Suitez is priced from RM2,164 to RM2,701 per sq ft. That buys a suite beside Merdeka 118 with the MRT 160 m away. Phoeniz Suites is priced from RM2,000 to RM2,195 per sq ft. That buys a freehold suite near the Petronas Twin Towers.

MABA Suitez has Type C, 657 sq ft. Phoeniz Suites has Types B1 and B2, 657–678 sq ft. A dual-key suite has two private sides behind one front door, each with its own bathroom. It suits two guests who travel together and want their own space.
