The First World hotel is the world's largest with 6,000 rooms. A
tourist class property that provides good value for money
accommodation on the world largest resort.
Exterior: The huge monolithic block fronts the theme park and lake
- superior outward facing rooms provide, when the clouds and
weather permits, excellent views of the entire Genting Resort as
well as, for the nature lover, views of the surrounding primary
forest and hills. The building is accented with splashes of various
bright colours such as yellow, green, red, orange, purple and blues
that distinguishes it from the rest of the buildings.
Lobby: The lobby is huge and the concept of checking in is via
taking a number and waiting for your number to be flashed on the
board. While waiting, guest can take a seat. A little different
from normal hotel check ins procedures but it provides the most
efficient way to expedite check in.

common points along the corridor. Being cool all year round (18 to
26 celcius), rooms are not air-conditioned but a ceiling fan is
provided. Bathrooms have a standing shower and a toilet. A
direct-dial telephone is also available in each room.
