About the employer

The group operates properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international destinations, offering accommodation, restaurants, bars, meeting facilities and wellness experiences. Shangri-La hotels are recognised for attentive service, elegant surroundings and strong food and beverage operations. In Malaysia, the company has established luxury properties serving business travellers, leisure guests, local residents and international visitors.

Working in Malaysia

Malaysia is a multicultural country rather than a single island, with attractive island destinations such as Langkawi, Penang, Tioman and parts of Sabah. Hospitality jobs are available in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events, tourism, sales and guest services, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Sabah and major coastal areas. Malay, Chinese and Indian influences shape the culture, food and festivals, while English is widely used in hotels and business. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living to relaxed beach or resort communities, with generally affordable transport and dining. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company must handle the relevant immigration approvals before work begins. Applicants should confirm salary, accommodation, insurance, relocation support and pass eligibility directly with Shangri-La. Malaysia’s warm climate, diverse cuisine and welcoming communities make it appealing for hospitality professionals.
