Alila Bangsar Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
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
“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.”

Very nice hotel
Really attractive interior, rooms great size and extremely clean, great pool and gym. Staff very friendly when we interacted
Slightly further out of Kuala Lumpur, but the price correctly reflects this

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.

Alila never disappoints… our second time here in consecutive years… definitely one for KL.
Convenient location… comfy beds to accommodate family of five 👍🏽
None so far… if there’s one thing it’s the breakfast menu…

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.

nothing to mention in particular

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.

If only I could have stayed longer.
It was very comfortable and all my needs were met.
I didn’t like taking 2 lifts to get to my room.

will come back again
there is a lot of snack and coffee serve outside from our room. the room is clean and spacious, worth for the money
the parking rate very expensive.
22 September 2025
I strongly recommend the hotel, comfortable spacious room. amazing, and calm location
Everything was amazing, the hotel and the rooms were soo clean, spacious and aesthetically pleasing, very luxury and staff were soo friendly and exceptionally kind.
The swimming pool was soo cold, and the bathroom sink design was unsanitary.

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

Comfortable and conveniently-located staycation spot
The lobby, rooms, pool all have a very refined feel. Staff are friendly and efficient. Location is unmatched - it’s close to LRT and nice little snack places in UOA building (Kenny Hills, MyNews, Tealive, MBG)

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.

good short stay
good size room, comfy bed. Good amenities. Easy access to LRT and to other places
non friendly access to rooms from ground floor lobby, or car park
26 August 2025
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
