A tranquil retreat in the heart of a buzzing metropolis, the Shangri-La Hotel provides easy access to sightseeing and shopping and is the ultimate in city-centre luxury. Renowned for impeccable service, this excellent hotel is arguably among the finest properties in Kuala Lumpur, and its incredible setting means you’ll be just a short walk away from KLCC’s best shopping and entertainment venues. The many facilities at the hotel include a Health Club which has a Jacuzzi, hydropool, outdoor pool, children’s pool, steamroom, sauna and treatment rooms. There’s also a Poolside Terrace and on-site spa. The hotel has five restaurants, alongside three bars and lounges. Lafite serves classical French cuisine, while chef John Choo prepares fine Cantonese dishes at Shang Palace. If you fancy a lighter bite, head to the Lemon Garden for Malaysian, Indian, Chinese and Italian flavours. Lemon Garden 2 Go deli café serves up fresh takeaway sandwiches and salads, and you can sip a delicious signature cocktail at Arthur’s Bar & Grill. The elegant rooms are in keeping with the contemporary, yet traditional design of the hotel. Deluxe Rooms overlook the hotel’s lush gardens, while the Executive and Premier Rooms have either city or garden views. For exclusive privileges, opt for a Horizon Club Executive room.
The moment you enter the grand lobby, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Oozing a colonial vibe, the Majestic is a rare find in a city hotel, as this original, fully-restored five-storey building is backed by a 15-storey modern tower – blending old and new. Touches of the past are preserved in the Reading Room, Cigar Room, Drawing Room and Truefitt & Hill barbers. The Smoke House embodies the decadence of the 1930s, and other facilities include a lounge, bar, card room, screening room, bespoke tailor and a private dining room with a private chef. The hotel also has a swimming pool and spa. The Orchid Conservatory showcases a hanging garden and ‘orchidscape’ within a glass atrium, so you can enjoy an intimate afternoon tea in a unique space. Alternatively, tuck into English afternoon tea with a Malaysian twist at the Tea Lounge. Contango is a favourite of ours, with open kitchens serving western, Chinese, Japanese, Malay and Thai cuisine. If you are after a truly authentic experience, head to the Colonial Cafe where you can taste traditional cuisine from the colonial era. You can find the hotel’s rooms and suites in the historic Majestic Wing and the modern Tower Wing. The Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites and Grand Suites of the Tower Wing have gorgeous views of either the city skyline, the hotel gardens or one of Kuala Lumpur’s heritage sites. Housed in the Majestic Wing, the luxurious Colonial Suites have an elegant and charming feel in a classic art deco setting.
The real stand out feature of this hotel is its incredible setting in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle. If you’re big on nature, you’ll love it here as the hotel also sits beside the city’s only surviving primary tropical rainforest, the spectacular KL Forest Eco Park – home to monkeys, melodic birdlife, nature trails and a canopy walkway. Just 20-minutes’ walk away is the colourful city centre; explore its fantastic shopping malls, buzzing street markets, great restaurants and cloud-tickling skyscrapers, such as the 451 metre-tall Petronas Twin Towers. The rooftop pool and gardens are on the hotel’s 24th floor – a fabulous spot for chilling out on a comfy sun lounger and soaking up the sparkling city views. Rich greenery and pretty trees frame the pool, creating a tranquil oasis in the hub of the city. The state-of-the-art 24-hour gym has floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can enjoy yoga or a fun workout overlooking the striking Kuala Lumpur skyline and famous KL Tower. At its all-day dining restaurant, Kafe Oasia, you can taste local Malaysian dishes or delicious round-the-world cuisine. The vibe of the rooms here is very homely, but modern throughout. Choose a Deluxe Room or Premier Suite and you’ll have your own private kitchenette and living area, so you can cook up a family feast or get cosy with a romantic night in after a thrilling day uncovering Kuala Lumpur’s favourite sights.
Set in the heart of the city’s modern Bukit Bintang region, the Meliá Kuala Lumpur has spectacular views over Berjaya Times Square and towards the iconic Petronas Towers. Just steps away from the monorail that can have you at the base of the iconic towers in just three minutes, this hotel is really all about the location. The Kitchen@Melia – the hotel’s main eatery – presents a range of international cuisine, with both à la carte and delicious buffet meals served up throughout the day. As night falls, the Lobby Bar is a great place to savour a glass of fine wine as you unwind to the music of the resident pianist. The restaurants and food courts of Bukit Bintang’s malls are just a short distance away providing you with the opportunity to enjoy cuisines from around the world. There’s so much to see in this vibrant city that a cosy room to return to at the end of the day is a must. Meliá and Premium guestrooms are bright, chic and comfortable. If you’re after a room with a view, opt for one of The Level rooms. Found on the hotel’s top floors, they present spectacular panoramic scenes out across the city, with the additional benefit of access to The Level Lounge where you can enjoy inclusions such as express check in and out, all-day refreshments and a cocktail each evening with canapés.
