Kuala Lumpur has always been a city that knows how to do luxury even though this is not the first thing that you might think of Malaysia's capital. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, the city’s vibrant mix of culture, food, and shopping is matched by an ever-growing selection of incredible hotels. Recently, we've seen a boom in new hotel openings, offering even more choices for travelers who want a memorable stay and it seems there is no intention on stopping the hotel developments thanks to Kuala Lumpur’s incredible popular statues as one of the most visited cities in Asia. Unfortunately, the days of shockingly low five-star hotel rates are becoming a thing of the past, the city still offers excellent value for money compared to destinations in Western Europe or the U.S. At Malaya Travel, we specialize in creating custom tours across Malaysia, and our clients always ask us where to stay. We make it our business to stay on top of these openings, so we can recommend the perfect fit—whether you're a solo traveler looking for something sleek and modern, or a family needing a bit more space.
So, what new hotel hotel in KL should you book in 2024?
Here’s a look at some of the newest and most exciting hotels in Kuala Lumpur that are absolutely worth considering. From the stylish Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park with its chic, modern vibe to the boutique feel of Else Kuala Lumpur, these recent additions have something unique to offer. For those who want to stay in the heart of the city’s bustling scene, Crowne Plaza Kuala Lumpur City Centre delivers urban elegance. If you’re after something even more luxurious, the newly opened Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur is a standout, with private pools in the rooms that make for a truly indulgent experience.
Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park is a stylish urban retreat that immerses you in the heart of the city’s vibrant Bukit Nanas neighborhood, where the energy of the city meets the calm of nature. Overlooking iconic landmarks like the Kuala Lumpur Tower and Merdeka 118, the hotel is full of charming local touches, from guestroom corridors inspired by the old "kaki lima" walkways to rooms that feature congkak boards and nostalgic Chinese calendar art. With rates starting just over $100, you can enjoy comforts like a rooftop pool designed to feel like a forest glade, a lobby with a living vertical garden, and dining spots like Silver Monkey, inspired by local coffee shops, or Wok Star, paying homage to Malaysia's street food scene. Even the staircase is a piece of art, made from old railway sleepers, while tree roots are repurposed into reception desks. Thoughtful sustainable touches are everywhere, from solar-powered kitchens to rooms that only offer amenities on request, making your stay feel as good as it looks.
