Best 5 Hotel Interior Renovation Firms in Selangor

Hotel renovation in Selangor is not one discipline. It is a design office that respecifies FF&E, a contractor who cuts over M&E on an occupied floor, and a waterproofing crew that must pass a 48-hour ponding test before a single tile goes down. These five firms are the ones actually named in tender documents and contractor nomination lists at Selangor’s four-star and five-star properties — Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, and the Sepang airport belt.

1. HBA Kuala Lumpur

HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates) runs its Kuala Lumpur studio off the Ampang corridor and has been pulling hotel renovation tenders across Selangor since the early 2010s. Its renovation scope is FF&E replacement, lighting layout revision, and decorative joinery respecification — not structural slab works. On a typical four-star refurbishment in Shah Alam or Petaling Jaya, HBA issues a tender package that contains 80 to 140 construction drawings, a full finish schedule, and a bill of quantities priced by local contractors. Their Selangor reference list includes guestroom renovation phases at The Saujana Hotel and common-area redesigns at Sunway Resort Hotel. Design fees run 6% to 9% of the construction contract sum, with a 12- to 16-week design-and-documentation period before any contractor mobilizes.

2. Atelier International Sdn Bhd

Atelier International is the oldest operating hospitality interior firm in the Klang Valley, founded in 1976, and its Selangor advantage is a single-contract model: the firm runs both design and site supervision for hotel renovation with an in-house joinery workshop in Section 13, Shah Alam. For owners who do not want to referee disputes between a designer and a separate main contractor, Atelier issues one contract that covers construction drawings, procurement, installation, and punch-listing on a per-key basis. Completed scope in Selangor includes the guestroom refurbishment program at One World Hotel Bandar Utama and the function-room refit at Eastin Hotel Petaling Jaya. For a mid-tier property, Atelier budgets roughly MYR 95,000 to MYR 125,000 per key for full renovation — bathroom re-tiling, new HVAC distribution, and corridor carpet replacement — with a five-month turnover per 30-to-40-key guestroom floor.

3. SIN+ Design Sdn Bhd

SIN+ Design is a Kuala Lumpur-based studio whose hospitality practice concentrates on refurbishing medium-scale hotels and serviced apartments along the Shah Alam and Subang Jaya corridor. The firm’s documented strength is wet-area renovation: full-height waterproofing membrane application in bathrooms, 48-hour ponding tests before grouting, and replacement of aged acrylic bathtubs with custom tile-over-concrete tubs to kill recurring leakage claims. On corridor work, SIN+ specifies luxury vinyl tile (LVT) laid over existing carpet to cut floor build-up by 12 mm and avoid altering door undercuts — a recurring cost trap in older Selangor hotels with tight clearance. Typical projects range from 60 to 120 guestrooms, scoped across an 18-week construction schedule with a 3-to-5-weekday work window per occupied floor.

4. MCM Group (Megabina Cipta Maya Sdn Bhd)

MCM Group is a Shah Alam-based fit-out and renovation contractor that executes hotel refurbishment packages designed by other firms. Its operational core is live-hotel renovation — running demolition, ceiling rework, and M&E cutover while the hotel keeps taking bookings. MCM handles the two most disruptive scope items in any Selangor hotel renovation: replacing aged corridor softwall panelling with fire-rated gypsum or GRC boards, and rewiring guestroom power distribution to handle modern appliance load. Reference work includes the corridor refurbishment at Concorde Hotel Shah Alam and a staircase pressurisation retrofit at a Sepang airport hotel. MCM uses in-house site superintendents with sub-contracted crews, achieves an average output of four completed guestrooms per crew per day, and carries an 18-month defect liability period on joinery and waterproofing.

5. BEPART Studio Sdn Bhd

BEPART Studio is a Kuala Lumpur architecture-and-interior practice that treats hotel renovation as a feasibility exercise first, construction second. For Selangor owners running buildings constructed in the 1990s, BEPART performs structural condition assessments, M&E load audits, and space-rearrangement studies before issuing a single renovation drawing. The practical output is visible in adaptive-reuse projects across Petaling Jaya, where obsolete 30-key budget hotels have been replanned into boutique configurations by knocking smaller guestrooms into wider suites — lifting average daily rate from roughly MYR 120 to MYR 220 in the Bandar Utama and Damansara Perdana submarkets. BEPART renovation contracts commonly run 16 to 24 weeks for a 50-key conversion, with a structural engineer’s endorsement integrated into the tender submission.
