Alila Bangsar Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Expert reviews
“Having established its brand in Bali, Alila has opened one of KL’s most appealing new hotels. The pared-back design, integrating concrete, wood and plenty of plants, suits the tropics and there are great views from the spacious rooms, which run between the 35th and 40th floors.”
“The Alila Bangsar looms over the low-rises of Brickfields and Bangsar like a giant black domino. The fresh white and teak wood interiors look like they’ve been pulled straight from Pinterest and there’s an excellent restaurant and ravishing rooftop swimming pool too.”

All you need to know
Perched high above one of Kuala Lumpur’s most bustling districts, Alila Bangsar merges cutting-edge, minimalist aesthetics with an abundance of natural light, verdant foliage and remarkable vistas, creating a peaceful urban haven.
The serene white interiors of Alila Bangsar provide a striking counterpoint to its smooth, dark exterior. This contrast enhances the sense of calm amidst the district’s lively retail, gastronomic, leisure, and nocturnal scenes.
Conveniently connected to Bangsar LRT Station, Alila Bangsar is also just 1.2 miles from NU Sentral and KL Sentral train stations.
Boasting design by Neri&Hu, the hotel’s modern air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a desk and a flat-screen TV. Select rooms come with a balcony. En-suite bathrooms are fitted with shower amenities. Guests are granted access to the Alila Living Room on each floor for complimentary refreshments.
Botanica+Co delights guests with its international and Asian fare served all day, while Entier presents French gastronomy led by a Japanese Michelin-starred chef. The rooftop bar is the perfect spot for enjoying refreshments and drinks.

Exceptional
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Alila Bangsar and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The rooms were beautifully designed and incredibly spacious, providing a sense of luxury and comfort. The modern facilities, including the coffee machine on each floor, were a fantastic addition and greatly enhanced the overall experience. One aspect that truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional level of service provided by the staff. From the friendly door man to the attentive restaurant staff and the diligent housekeepers in the corridor, everyone went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable and hassle-free. A special mention goes to the front desk staff member who handled our check-in and check-out with utmost professionalism and efficiency. One of the highlights of our stay at Alila Bangsar was its perfect location. The hotel is conveniently situated near the train station, making it incredibly easy to explore the city and its surrounding areas. The proximity to the train station provided us with convenient transportation options, allowing us to effortlessly navigate Kuala Lumpur. Additionally, the hotel's location within walking distance of Little India was a definite advantage. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the vibrant streets of Little India, immersing ourselves in the rich culture, and indulging in the delicious Indian cuisine. Being able to easily access this cultural hub added an extra layer of excitement and diversity to our stay. Overall, our stay at Alila Bangsar was a memorable one, and we cannot wait to return. The hotel provided us with a wonderful weekend getaway, and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of service and the comfortable accommodations. The only disappointment was the limited options available at the buffet breakfast. Nonetheless, this minor setback did not overshadow the overall positive experience we had at Alila Bangsar.

It is a great place at an isolated location. It's definitely worth the revisiting.
When I first arrived at the neighborhood, it was a shock. It was almost as if I was cheated. However, after I parked my car and arrived at the lobby, the interior of the hotel surprised me. The dame building was shared between EST and Alila. The check-in of Alila is on the 41st floor, the same floor with the fine dining restaurant Entier. The check-in is pleasant and swift. The room is spacious, and the bed and shower are exceptional. I had a wonderful sleep during my stay in the hotel without disturbed by the noise at the aisle or outside. The shower pressure is very good, and the temperature is easily adjustable. The amenities are perfect, and the body and hair shampoo have a wonderful lemon grass fragrant. I also love their snack bar. Almost having coffee every morning accompanied with some fried chips.
The only part which I think the hotel requires to improve would be the water, I am a bit skeptical with the glass bottle whether it was cleaned properly or how would you guarantee no one careful tearing the secure sticker on the water bottle and added something into it. On the other hand, the TV remote control doesn't seem to match with the TV. It is hard to switch channels or even on off the TV.

The frontdesk staff Shafi went the extra mile to help us. Top-notch service.
Super stylish, warm and inviting interiors. Good use of space and the free flow of coffee and muruku was great.

Spacious room. Very nice design. Very friendly and helpful staff. Staff helped to change my room due to noisy air con during the night. Appreciate that.
Driving around the parking area is difficult because have to keep to the right instead of the left.

Very good
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was nice and had pool towels just outside the gym. The room was large and spacious with a big comfy bed, good temperature control, the shower was a dream and it had a great view of the city! The walkway directly to the train station was convenient.
Our 2 big problems with this hotel was the lack of smart TV (you can order room service via the TV, but you can't use streaming services even with your own login) and very intermittent WiFi around the room. We would have really expected the WiFi to have been a lot better than it was.

Amazing Alila
Exceptionally clean. The sheer size of their basic and cheapest room is amazing. If you’re sizing up between the Hilton and Alila, do yourself a favour and stay at Alila. You’ll get the same amenities and everything else at a fraction of the price.
Nothing!

Fabulous
Really clean and comfortable hotel and very modern. Pool area lovely and clean also. Beds super comfortable and lots of space in the rooms. Nice to have access to free hot drinks. Will definitely book again next time we're in KL.
Only thing missing is a proper bar for evening drinks!

Excellent location, helpful staff & overall very positive experience.
Location on LRT line, walking distance to Little India and very short car ride to bangsar mid valley shopping, bangsar shopping centre and jalan maarof / telawi shops. Pool on level 40 had brilliant city view.
Lobby on level 41, but service and room more then makes up for this.

Nicely designed rooms and comfortable stay
Location wise is good as it’s near the LRT train station, rooms are pretty spacious and well designed
convenience of moving from parking to room etc is a hassle as it involves 3 different lifts.
