Exciting: Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur Now Open, 100+ Floors Up

Please stop editorializing titles. Huh: Whoa: Exciting: etc don't add anything that a reader can't conjure themselves.

KL is a great city and the range of luxury hotels available at affordable prices is incredible. I wonder what this launch will do to prices in those other properties such as Banyan Tree, Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton?

Indeed a great value hotel market, but the Most overrated city in Asia. so disappointing on so many levels.
Not a singapore nor Bangkok.
Skip.

Pretty exciting though 😉
I mean that is WAY up high

Thanks for the update, but why do you quite the room price as $315 before taxes? Every guest has to pay these taxes. Since few of us know by head the taxes/fees of Malaysia, I think it’s more honest to quote the room rate all-in.

What an odd request. It's literally an editorial site, written from Ben's perspective.

Hilarious: dumbass comment by Matt H

Glad to see it’s officially opened. I have a reservation next month and I’m looking forward to living in the clouds for a couple nights

Is Kuala Lumpur worth a stop if going to Singapore or Indonesia? Anything exciting to do there?

Bangkok and Singapore is overrated for those who fancy an authentic trully Asian experience. Jakarta, KL, Hanoi kept its authenticity much better due to lower tourist invasion and hence its much more unadulterated in experience.

Much more to do in Singapore but the luxury hotels were out of my budget . KL had luxury hotels for as low as $99 USD per night. Only a handful of things to do. An amusement park with over 100 types of birds and the batu caves . Shopping malls. The hawker stalls are on par with Singapore so good food. I really just wanted to fly Malaysian air. I’m more likely to go back to Singapore and stay at a budget hotel and take the MRT to the raffles place area with all the attractions.

Kuala Lumpur is a secondary stop in SE Asia. It’s a cool place.

I confess I was so burned by Alila KL (rooms in terrible state, lobby leaking, breakfast choices meh and inconvenient to get to, girls grinding for IG photos where all the good view spots are, etc), I don’t see myself prioritizing this.

Will be staying here in 7 weeks, can't wait. Going to KL just to stay here.

What about J Hotel Shanghai? It's also claiming to be the highest.

Same! Was so disappointed with the Alila KL: cheap rooms, cleanliness, etc.

Matt doesn't pay Ben for opinions. Also, Matt doesn't pay Ben at all.

Love KL, and trying to return each winter. I would say though that
(1) KL does not offer particularly stunning views from above, other than the twin towers, and there's just so many times you can adore those.
(2) Not at all a fan of any hotel requiring you to take two separate elevators to get to and from your room. The Grand Hyatt in KL was an absolute nightmare in that respect.
(3) I hope there is also an outdoors pool because nobody enjoys sitting inside by the pool for more than they have to.
(4) Going back to the Grand Hyatt KL, as well as EQ, and others: these become an absolute weekend night magnet to the young hip local crowd. Nothing wrong about it, and I am happy for them, but not enjoyable if you're a hotel guest wanting to have a drink at the bar or just use the elevator. EQ is particularly bad

It was a category 1 property(now 2). Not sure what you were expecting.

Not anymore.

Why is bro hating? Agree with Ben or not, it’s his opinion and blog and many of us enjoy reading it regardless of our personal opinions. Go to another blog rather than hating on this man’s hard work.

Agree, I’m pretty excited
