Tune Hotels Group CEO Mark Lankester said: “We are very proud of the three-millionth guest achievement and we would like to thank all our loyal and new guests who have embraced the accommodation concept and model pioneered by Tune Hotels, making it a global phenomenon. When we first started in downtown Kuala Lumpur in 2007, we did not imagine that Tune Hotels would be such a successful brand that takes the world by storm.”
