Alila Bangsar Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

58 Jalan Ang Seng, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (show on map)

Alila Bangsar is a chic urban retreat occupying the top floors of the mixed-use development known as The Establishment. Designed by the internationally acclaimed duo Neri&Hu, the hotel is celebrated for its minimalist aesthetic, which balances sleek, dark wood interiors with light-filled spaces. Its design is intended to act as a conceptual bridge between the historic charm of the nearby Brickfields district and the modern, high-end energy of Bangsar.

The hotel’s most striking feature is its “urban oasis” concept, centered around a stunning three-storey-high courtyard. This space features a beautiful outdoor pool and lush tropical greenery, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling city below. Guests are also treated to a sky-level lobby on the 41st floor, which offers sweeping, panoramic views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.

Practicality meets luxury here; the hotel is directly connected to the Bangsar LRT station, making city travel incredibly easy. Guests often appreciate the thoughtful touches, like the 24-hour refreshment bars on every floor, which are stocked with complimentary local snacks and beverages.

For those eager to explore, the hotel’s location places you near some of Kuala Lumpur’s most interesting sites. You are a short distance from the vibrant, culturally rich streets of Brickfields, often referred to as “Little India,” and the beautiful Perdana Botanical Gardens. Whether you are looking for local street food or world-class shopping at nearby Mid Valley City, Alila Bangsar serves as a sophisticated, well-connected base for your Malaysian adventure.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Everything is nice, except the location, there is no any shops nearby. And surrounding difficult to buy things if less any

Rooms and all the facilities are super nice, only one suggestion is to upgrade their old version TV. Not smart TV and less channel like 10 years ago model

Room is clean and spacious. love the design/theme of the room. there is a coffee machine outside the lift lobby on every floor and some snacks as well, which is a nice touch.

An urban oasis, loved every moment.

Spacious room with a living room area was nice for my friend and I to catch up and chat all night. It’s super convenient that there’s a world class restaurant in the same building. Love the whole vibe.

It was the easiest to get from our carpark to the room as the building layout isn’t the most straightforward. Not a big issue.

A lovely place with modern and homey architecture.

The room is well designed; it gives a modern vibe and a sense of good-flow.

Access to convenience stores and foods is not as great.

Beautiful views, this place is a work of art!

My goodness! This hotel sits on top of a building and is located on top floors of a 40+ storey building. The pool, the views, they’re works of art! We booked a double single bed which honestly could accommodate at least 4, and liked this place so much we returned to it again later in the trip! Each floor’s lift lobby comes with Malaysian childhood snacks, herbal tea and a coffee machine. The views are insane!! Rooms are chic and modern, and very tastefully designed.

Didn’t quite like the location, it is very central but as it is with Malaysia, it’s not pleasant to walk around, cars are necessary. I don’t think the hotel can do much about this to be honest, with such a view, they’d have to be parked in a building like this probably situated away from these more walkable historical districts.

Luxurious stay, classy and will definitely make you want to return.

Loved the design/interiors of the hotel. The layout of the room was perfect for slightly longer stays as it felt like a small studio unit. The employees were 100% from the concierge to the cleaning crew !

The speed of the elevators. I completely understand the need to change elevators to get to the hotel but the speed could be improved.

None so far… if there’s one thing it’s the breakfast menu…

The Breakfast, the view, the room. Everything was great about our short stay here. If we ever come back to KL we would definitetly stay again.

There wasn't much we did not like - the only thing I would say if i'm being picky is, it would have been great to have fresh milk instead of the powder sachets in the rooms.

Alila is perfect in terms of location and room is super comfortable

Location is perfect being one stop away from KL Sentral station and there is a bridge that connects the hotel building to the Bangsar station as well. Rooms are extremely comfortable and cozy, and the pool area is also a wonderful area to lounge and relax. Hotel staff are always accommodating and welcoming, and very helpful too.

It’s a bit of a hassle to switch from the main elevator to the secondary elevator to get to your room.

The hotel was very clean, the staff were very respectable and they took customer service very seriously.

No smart TV. Big let down, that was the only thing we didn’t enjoy during our stay. There was no interesting channels on their tv so you couldn’t watch anything if you ordered room service.

It was a highly positive stay with exceptional service and beautiful decor enhanced by mood lighting.

It was a fantastic experience. Starting the day with salmon sashimi for breakfast was a total highlight! Beyond that, the staff were wonderful—truly friendly and accommodating. As for the look of the place, it was all very clean and artfully decorated, a modern feel with crisp, straight lines and a warm, inviting brown palette. They even had some beautiful indoor trees that perfectly complimented the decor.

Just a heads-up, the ramp for the parking was really confusing. I wasn't sure which side to take or which way to go.

Excellent value and comfort

Easy to access from Sentral, where the airport train arrives, then one stop to Bangsar on the red line, easy to use the trains to most places from Sentral. Our room was very comfortable, roomy and clean and the staff on reception were excellent. The bistro on the ground floor was okay for breakfast and we had a reasonable evening meal there

A bar to sit and have a drink would have been nice as the immediate neighbourhood didn’t offer anything

A great staycation. Well done to the all staff. Will be coming back

Really appreciated the covered walkway between the hotel and the LRT station! So convenient to be able to travel around KL without issues. The room was big, comfortable, and clean. They serve complimentary snacks and the drinks station right outside the lift. Staff are professional, well spoken and efficient.

Parking was RM20 for unlimited entries, would’ve been better if it was a lower rate.

comfy room, good view from room, but non friendly access from car park to room

comfy bed, good room size, good location, central to places I have to go during the week. I enjoyed their cofffee facility at lobby of the floor I was staying

the "transits" that I have to go thru each time to access to my room, to lobby, to car park. I suppose it is safer, but not friendly. To get to rooms from ground floor lobby, you have to take a lift up to reception on 41st floor, then another lift to your floor for room; and from car park to room - lift down to ground floor lobby, and another lift to reception 41st floor, and another lift to your room floor
