Gateway to Kuala Lumpur’s tradition and culture
Kuala Lumpur’s Old Town is where the city was founded and boasts a large amount of cultural sites including the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Merdeka Square and the National Museum. It’s also home to the city’s Chinatown, where you can enjoy delicious Chinese cuisine in traditional surrounds and classic Chinese buildings.
You can stay right in the heart of Old Town at the Ascott, which welcomes guest to the city by lavishing them with spacious apartments that make you feel right at home. Another option is the 4-star Quality Hotel with tasteful decorations and a position that makes exploration easy.
All that glitters is gold
The Golden Triangle is where you can find Kuala Lumpur’s premier 5-star hotels accompanied by enormous shops and a lively nightlife. If you stay in this area, you need only wander a few minutes from your hotel before encountering the glittering lights of the city’s bars, nightclubs and shopping malls.
It’s easy to find sumptuous 5-star accommodation, whether you stay at the Westin, Sheraton Imperial, Shangri-La or the Prince Hotel. The cost of these hotels is a pleasant surprise, as is the level of service, generous plush bedding and modern facilities that make any stay enjoyable.
Find a little variety in Brickfields
Brickfields is located slightly south of the city’s centre and is commonly known as ‘Little India’, thanks to its main road lined with shops selling Indian clothing and food. You can find actual banana leaf restaurants and sari shops, along with the 19th-Century Buddhist Temple and one of the largest Chinese temples in Kula Lumpur.
There’s accommodation to suit all types of budgets. The affordable Joy Inn is situated above a grocery store and also provides a free breakfast, so all your food needs are covered. If you want to splurge, you can stay at Le Meridien, conveniently located next to the train station.
