Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry Hotels, JEN by Shangri-La, and Traders brands.

Employees typically work in multicultural environments with structured hotel operations, professional development opportunities, and strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, teamwork, integrity, and operational efficiency.
Malaysia offers varied opportunities in hospitality, procurement, tourism, finance, technology, and education, particularly in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, and Johor. Penang combines a strong hotel and tourism sector with historic multicultural neighborhoods, excellent street food, and a relaxed island lifestyle. Langkawi is more resort-focused, quieter, and surrounded by beaches and nature. Malaysian culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Indigenous influences, with English commonly used in business and hospitality. Living costs are moderate, although central Kuala Lumpur and popular resort areas can be more expensive. Public transport is strongest in major cities; island locations may require a car or scooter. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, approved by Malaysian immigration before starting work. Candidates should confirm sponsorship, accommodation, insurance, tax obligations, and relocation support with Shangri-La.
