Located within UMCITY Medini Lakeside in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, OZO Medini embodies the brand's promise of Sleep. Connect. Explore. — combining practicality with youthful energy to create a dynamic environment for modern travellers. The 198-room property brings a refreshing, contemporary accommodation option to one of Malaysia's fastest-developing lifestyle and business districts.

A Strategic Milestone for ONYX Hospitality Group

The opening of OZO Medini strengthens ONYX Hospitality Group's presence in Malaysia, complementing Amari Johor Bahru, Amari Kuala Lumpur, Amari SPICE Penang, Shama Suasana Johor Bahru, and OZO George Town Penang. It highlights the Group's commitment to sustainable regional growth and its goal of becoming the best medium-sized hospitality management company in Southeast Asia.

"OZO Medini represents more than a hotel opening — it marks another step forward in our vision to be the leading medium-sized hospitality company in Southeast Asia," said Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group.

"Johor's position as a cross-border destination for both Malaysian and Singaporean travellers makes it an ideal home for the OZO brand — a brand that thrives on energy, simplicity, and connection. Our partnership with UMLand reflects our shared belief in building purposeful, design-led hospitality experiences that respond to evolving travel patterns, from short-haul leisure to work–life blended travel."

A Work–Life Playground at the Heart of Iskandar Puteri

OZO Medini is ideally positioned on Persiaran Medini Sentral 1, surrounded by retail, business, and entertainment developments. Guests are just minutes from Mall of Medini, Legoland Malaysia, Puteri Harbour, and Eco Galleria, and approximately 30 minutes from Senai International Airport.

The hotel features 198 guest rooms and suites across four categories — Superior, Deluxe, Premier, and Junior Suites — each designed with comfort and connectivity in mind. Thoughtful details include premium bedding with pillow-top mattresses, blackout curtains, high-speed Wi-Fi, multimedia panels, and IPTV systems.

The hotel's social and lifestyle spaces showcase OZO's lively personality:

  • EAT – all-day dining serving international and local favourites
  • CONNECT – a web bar for co-working and casual catch-ups
  • SPLASH – a pool and relaxation area with a future THIRST poolside bar
  • TONE – a compact fitness studio for active travellers
  • TALK – a meeting room for productive small gatherings

Coming soon, CHILL will introduce a casual community lounge with games, digital corners, and flexible seating — underscoring the brand's commitment to social connection and work–life balance.

Opening Promotions

To celebrate its debut, OZO Medini is offering exclusive opening rates and stay packages during the soft-opening period, inviting trade partners and guests to "Wake Up Medini!" and experience the brand's vibrant take on comfort and efficiency.
