Hotels in Kuala Lumpur

As southeast Asia’s youngest capital city, Kuala Lumpur benefits from a contemporary vibe. Founded midway through the 19th century, the area is fast catching up with financial and cultural metropolises like Hong Kong and New York City. At the same time, the city is peppered with colonial architecture and vast green spaces. Hotels in Kuala Lumpur are just as varied. Opulent apartments share streets with towering well-known hotel chains, as well as guest houses and YMCAs – and there are plenty with pools and spas to guide you towards pure relaxation. Kuala Lumpur is well known for its recognisable, modern landmarks, but there are plenty of spots that belie the city’s high-energy and hyper contemporary status. Some exploration will take you to animal sanctuaries, natural landscape features and – outside the city – hills and highlands. There’s something for every holidaying taste in Kuala Lumpur. You just have to know where to look.
