The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Originally opened in 1932 and the pre-WWII KL equivalent of Raffles in Singapore, the impeccably restored Majestic is one of the city’s top luxury hotels.

Other appealing features include an orchid-filled conservatory and two swimming pools.”
MOV Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Lonely Planet“A contemporary sculpture of a white tiger prowling the lobby and a slide into its restaurant are just a couple of the fun, creative touches at this stylish property freshly opened in 2018 and just steps from nightlife hub Changkat Bukit Bintang. The top-tier loft rooms offer double-height ceilings and penthouse furnishings.”
Alila Bangsar Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Lonely Planet + 1 more“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.”
