12 Super Luxurious Hotels You Won’t Believe Are In KL

Drowning in luxury

 

Source

Somehow, everything at hotels are always better than home’s (well, provided it’s at least 4 stars) – the sheets, toiletries, television right in front of the bed, mini bar (even better when it’s free), speaker, TV in the toilet and even simple welcome snacks. 

The best way to pamper oneself, be it a holiday or a business trip, is definitely to stay at a luxurious hotel. Where else can you enjoy top-notch facilities and services around the clock?

When in KL, staying at the 14 hotels listed below will be the best decision you’ve made all year. However, please refrain from ‘accidentally’ taking stuff from the hotel home.

*Prices shown are as of July 2016 on Agoda.

 

1. Palace Of The Golden Horses

What better way to have a luxurious experience than in a palatial environment? Palace of the Golden Horses is a hotel unique to Malaysia and the only hotel in Selangor that’s built like a Palace. If you’ve always wanted to experience living in a castle, this is definitely the place to be.

With a super central location, it is only a 15 minutes drive away from Kuala Lumpur and 35 minutes away from KLIA. Popular amongst golfers, they were awarded the title of “Best Luxury Golf Resort” four years in a row from 2011 to 2014!

This hotel is most suitable for occasions such as weddings or massive conference meetings. Located in its very own private section of the hotel, it has conference space with a total of 15 meeting rooms, a theatrette and two ballrooms with a maximum seating capacity of up to 1000 pax, all equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.

2. The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur

Everybody knows the Ritz Carlton, but I bet you didn’t know there’s one in KL! Ritz Carlton is the first luxury hotel ever to come to Malaysia, and probably the most finely decorated of this list. Bask in 19th Century and Asian artistic traditions during your stay here, whether it’s from their Chinese antiques or oil paintings.

Built in the “Golden Triangle”, KL’s main shopping and nightlife district, the hotel is an extremely convenient place to stay. You have the likes of Lot 10 and Starhill Gallery (luxury shopping malls) just a stone’s throw away.

One of the Ritz Carlton’s main selling points is the hotel’s spaciousness – a world away from our claustrophobic KL apartments. So if that’s what you’re looking for, you know your next holiday will be!

Price: From RM761/night
Address: 168, Jalan Imbi, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 55100

Hilton KL is a favourite especially among business travellers, awarded Malaysia’s Leading Business Hotel 2015 by The World Travel Awards™.

Stellar staff, great location and superb facilities, there’s nothing more you could ask for. Although you’ll have no shortage of food options around the hotel, you cannot miss their modern European restaurant Graze, where you’ll feast on the freshest produce and finest cuts of meat. 

Source

My personal favourite – I remember looking forward to this hotel every time I stayed in KL when I was younger. What I love most about this place is the openness of the hotel, full of space. It may be well-known for being a business hotel, but I dare say it’s suitable for family vacays as well.

10. One World Hotel

Save on petrol and parking when you stay in this hotel, located right next to my personal favourite mall in Selangor. No, not Pavillion KL, but 1 Utama Shopping Centre. A corridor link on the first floor connects straight to the old wing of this huge mall. High end brands like Hermes as a rarity here, but you’ll find gems like Benefit, Armani Exchange, Michael Kors and many many more. 

The hotel itself isn’t huge, but the rooms sure are roomy enough. I adore their simple yet modern interior, and just being here makes me feel so much more relaxed. Another super cool feature: all their showers are the rainshowers! 

Price: From RM488/night

11. Pacific Regency Hotel Suites

If usual hotels aren’t atas enough for you, how about an all-suite hotel? Pacific Regency just oozes luxury, satisfaction guaranteed. 

Don’t worry, they still have different classes of rooms to choose from, all huge but some humongous. You can choose from either Superior, One bedroom or Executive, everyone of which I would recommend. 

Other facilities include free breakfast and parking. There are also 2 restaurants, plus a cafe, a lounge and a bar. Have a dip in their rooftop pool, a trip to their day spa, or get some much-deserved retail therapy at their shop. It’s like a town within itself – welcome to your new home away from home!

Price: Starting at RM248/night
Address: KH Tower, Jalan Punchak, Off Jalan P. Ramlee (Opposite KL Tower), KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 50250
