Looking for new hotels for a staycation? Sheraton by Marriott Hotel marks its debut in Johor Bahru later this year. The Sheraton Johor Bahru is poised to become a new landmark in the city – when it opens in November 2025 – located just five minutes from the checkpoint to Singapore. The five-star property by Marriott International in partnership with SKS Group will offer a luxurious haven for business travellers, families, and holidaymakers alike. Here’s what we know about the Sheraton Johor Bahru:
First Sheraton in Johor Bahru
Marriott’s Sheraton Johor Bahru is strategically located along Jalan Storey – just five minutes from the Johor Bahru and Singapore checkpoint. This makes it highly accessible for international guests and locals in both cities. Wonderfully, it will boast 345 modern rooms including 10 family rooms and 30-suites designed for extra comfort.
Guests at the Sheraton Johor Bahru can enjoy a range of amenities. These include an outdoor infinity pool, a pool bar, a gym, a spa, versatile meeting spaces, children’s facilities, and a Grand Ballroom expected to accommodate up to 600 guests, to name a few things. Meanwhile, there will be a number of dining options, such as Soo Noodles, Unspoken Bar, Daily Social, among other vibrant culinary experiences.
Interestingly, the hotel is part of a mixed-use development that includes direct access to a boutique shopping mall, as well as office spaces, a retail podium, and with close connection to major transport hubs like the JB Sentral Bus Terminal. In fact, this includes the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) which will offer five minute journeys to JB by late 2026.
Certainly, the new Sheraton holds particular appeal to Singaporeans due to its exceptional locations just minutes from the border – making it an ideal destination for quick getaways. Plus, you’ll be able to get the five-star experience at competitive prices compared to similar hotels in Singapore.
