Kuala Lumpur, commonly known as KL, is more than just a capital city! From humble beginnings it’s evolved into a sweeping metropolis, a hub for international trade and commerce - dominated by the tallest skyscrapers in Southeast Asia. Whether you are visiting on business, wanting to shop till you drop or experience Malaysia’s rich culture and cuisine, we have Kuala Lumpur hotels to suit every traveller.
Our Kuala Lumpur accommodation acts as a great base for exploring the city’s cultural sites including: the National Art Gallery, the Islamic Arts Museum and the National Museum, which is housed in a palatial building based on classical Malay architecture. While staying in our KL hotels, experience Malay culture by attending a wayang kulit, a traditional shadow puppet show, or visit the old Railway station and be charmed by its classic Moorish style.
If you love shopping, our hotels in KL are great base for visiting some of world's most luxurious and glitzy malls. Or if bargaining with a trader is your thing, visit Petaling Street, the Central Market or a bustling night market. KL is known for its extensive array of handicrafts such as silver, brass, pottery, art and wickerwork. The question will arise, what to buy? If you’re after an experience, visit the iconic Petronas Towers where you’ll see an amazing view of the city from the highest vantage point on the Skybridge. If you really want to get you heart racing, try base jumping off the KL tower.
Your hotel in Kuala Lumpur will be perfectly situated to enjoy one of the city’s many festivals, which include Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavaili and Malaysia Fest which all showcase the city’s unique multicultural heritage. One fast paced high-octane event not to be missed is the Malaysian F1.
You’ll find remarkable cultural diversity throughout the whole city, through its cuisine, festivals, and architecture. Ethnic Malays, Chinese prospectors, Indian migrants and British colonials all helped carve the city out of the jungle, and each group has left its lasting mark on the capital. Eating, shopping and nightlife are unquestionable highlights of any visit to Kuala Lumpur, but don’t restrict yourself to the city – make sure that you visit one of the numerous monuments dotted around KL, an easy day trip from your Kuala Lumpur hotel.
