For five-star luxury and an unbeatable view of Malaysia’s iconic Petronas Towers, check out the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. This complex boasts 411 grand guest rooms and suites and is smack in the middle of the captivating capital.
Check into a Diplomat Suite and feel instantly relaxed with its warm, dark woods and cream-hued soft furnishings. You’ll have no fewer than three LED TVs and a separate dining area, so put in a call for room service from your very own butler while you throw on a film (unless you prefer to rustle up your own grub, in which case there’s a kitchenette). After your meal, settle in for a soak in your freestanding tub and admire the skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your white marble bathroom.
To beat the crowds, head to the hotel’s sparkling outdoor pool early for a sunrise dip, then straight out for a morning meander around the city’s Golden Triangle district. Slip into a coffee-scented kopitiam for a sip of sweet kopi C (coffee with evaporated milk and sugar), then return to your hotel for a soothing session at ESSA Spa. A bergamot honey body wrap will have you glowing and ready for dinner at the on-site restaurant JP teres. Start with the fresh tastes of cucumber and carrot in a tauhu sambal kicap, then wash down wok-fried chicken dish mee mamak with something chilled from the bar.
