A Delightful Stay at Swiss-Garden Hotel and Residences, Genting Highlands

- Follow the signs to the hotel parking area at the back of the hotel.
- Ample space makes maneuvering easy, preventing worries about scratches.
- Tip: Park on Level 3 to avoid using the elevator to reach the hotel lobby.
- Parking is free, but you'll need to validate your Touch n Go card at the lobby each time you exit.
Check-in: Smooth and Welcoming
The check-in experience was efficient:
