LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA – Aloft by Marriott Langkawi Pantai Tengah is officially turning up the volume on the island’s nightlife scene with the launch of its highly anticipated “WXYZ On Tour” beverage program. This new menu is more than just a list of drinks; it is a global tribute to Aloft’s music-driven ethos, featuring a collection of cocktails inspired by iconic artists and the vibrant regions where Aloft makes its mark.
The “On Tour” concept reinforces the brand’s promise: no matter where you travel, Aloft delivers a familiar, energetic, and soul-stirring experience. By blending local flavors with international music inspiration, WXYZ Bar at Aloft Langkawi has created a “setlist” of sips that resonate with both world travelers and local music lovers.
The Headliners: Greatest Hits
The menu is anchored by the Greatest Hits, a selection of Aloft Signatures designed for big energy and bold pours. These are the “stadium anthems” of the cocktail world—crafted specifically for the region with high impact flavors:
• Déjà Yu: A refreshing, fan-favorite blend that keeps the rhythm going.
• Paw It Like It’s Hot: A spicy, spirited nod to the icons of hip-hop.
• Spice Up Your Life: A vibrant, zesty tribute to the pop era.
The Supporting Acts & Local Legends
Beyond the global signatures, the menu features Supporting Acts like the Rum Direction, Ginny in a Bottle and unique Country Specific creations that celebrate Asian heritage. Guests can enjoy the Kopi Me Softly (a Malaysian coffee-inspired delight) or the tropical Calamansi Me Maybe (a nod to Indonesia).
For those looking for a “vocal-only” experience, the mocktail list includes the nostalgic Pour Some Milo On Me and the refreshing For Whom the Peach Tolls.
A Festival Atmosphere: Lucky Cat Batik Painting, DIY Tattoos, and Live Beats
The launch event transformed WXYZ Bar into a full-scale backstage festival. Guests immersed themselves in the music-driven lifestyle with interactive stations, including lucky cat batik painting and DIY music-themed tattoos, allowing everyone to sport their own “on tour” look. The energy was kept at a peak with a live band performance, perfectly echoing the brand’s commitment to supporting live music.
To encourage exploration of the new menu, the hotel introduced the WXYZ On Tour Drink Passport. This interactive guest journey allows fans to “tour” the Asia Pacific region through their taste buds, collecting stamps for every regional cocktail enjoyed, from the spice of India to the coffee culture of Malaysia.
A Night of Mastery: Guest Shift featuring Bastien Michaud
The debut was further elevated by an exclusive Guest Shift featuring Bastien Michaud, Brand Ambassador for Pernod Ricard Malaysia. Representing a premium portfolio including Havana Club, Malfy Gin, and The Glenlivet, Bastien brought his extensive experience from some of the world’s “50 Best” cocktail bars to the Langkawi shores. Bastien’s hands-on approach combined technical expertise with creative storytelling, offering an authentic and modern perspective on hospitality.
A Backstage Pass to Flavor
“At Aloft, music is in our DNA,” says Shanmugam Thangavelu, General Manager of Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah. “With WXYZ On Tour, we’ve bottled that energy. Every cocktail tells a story of a region and an artist, offering our guests a backstage pass to the best flavours of Asia Pacific.”
