Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya was conferred the Muslim-Friendly Tourism Excellence Award, in recognition of its consistent delivery of products and services aligned with Muslim-friendly principles. This accolade complements the hotel’s recent certification as a Muslim-Friendly Hotel by the Islamic Tourism Centre, marking a significant double achievement for the property.
Meanwhile, Four Points by Sheraton Puchong’s signature dining venue, The Eatery, received the Halal Gourmet Food and Beverages Excellence Award, acknowledging its innovation in Halal-certified culinary offerings and effective marketing strategies that successfully engage and expand the Halal consumer segment.
Both properties have implemented comprehensive Halal compliance frameworks supported by strong governance, continuous staff training, and close inter-departmental collaboration. At Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya, all kitchens—including Main, Pastry, Cold, Butcher, and Banquet—are certified by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM). These certifications are reinforced through stringent ingredient traceability systems and regular internal and external audits to ensure the highest standards of Halal integrity and food safety.
Similarly, Four Points by Sheraton Puchong maintains Halal-certified kitchens—including Main Kitchen, Cold Kitchen, Butcher, Garde Manger, and Banquet—accredited by Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS), supported by equivalent audit and compliance processes.
“These awards are a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing trusted, high-quality experiences for Muslim travellers,” said Sharifah Azwani Binti Syed Hamzah, Multi-Property Halal Liaison Manager. “They position our hotels as preferred destinations for both business and leisure guests seeking Halal-compliant services.”
Strategically located near key government institutions and major corporate hubs, both Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya and Four Points by Sheraton Puchong are well positioned to serve the growing Halal travel and hospitality market, offering an experience that seamlessly blends compliance, comfort, and convenience.
