The Malaysian capital has welcomed a spectacular new landmark in luxury hospitality with the opening of Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, the brand’s first property in the country. 

Perched between levels 75 and 114 of the iconic Merdeka 118 – now the tallest skyscraper in Asia Pacific – the hotel offers an unparalleled vantage point of the city skyline and a refined blend of contemporary elegance with Malaysian heritage.

This milestone also marks the Park Hyatt brand’s 50th property globally, representing a significant expansion into Southeast Asia.

Sky-High Sanctuaries: Guestrooms and Suites With a View

The hotel’s 252 guestrooms and suites have been designed as private havens in the clouds. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping city views, while shutters bathe interiors in natural light. 

Suites feature expansive living areas, a full bath with separate rain shower and aromatherapy shower steamer, a walk-in dressing room, personal study, and – in select rooms – private dining spaces overlooking Kuala Lumpur’s skyline.

Design Rooted in Malaysia’s Heritage

G.A Group’s interiors take inspiration from the traditional Malay kampung house, combining modern design with artisanal detail. 

Perforated brass screens echo batik canting motifs, while natural timber, woven textures, and Peranakan-inspired elements bring warmth to the sleek spaces. The atmosphere is enriched by a curated art collection by Artlink, celebrating Malaysia’s colours and organic forms.

Beyond the hotel, guests can immerse themselves in the Merdeka 118 Precinct through exclusive guided tours. 

Highlights include the historic Stadium Merdeka – where Malaysia’s independence was declared – Al-Sultan Abdullah Mosque, the Merdeka Textile Museum, and the Merdeka 118 building itself.

Culinary journeys from grills to chocolate mixology

Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur offers three distinctive dining experiences:

Bespoke events above the city
