Located just steps from the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, W Kuala Lumpur offers a premier gateway to the best of Kuala Lumpur. The 150-room hotel – which includes two penthouse suites – takes inspiration from the juxtaposition of nature, traditional Malaysian architecture and city living.
Why stay here
Design lovers will appreciate the bold and stylish interiors of W Kuala Lumpur. The lobby features striking batik-inspired motifs and metallic accents, while the Welcome Area is illuminated by LED lights cascading from above like falling raindrops.
Spotlights embedded in the floor add an otherworldly touch, evoking the movement of a flowing river. The space is punctuated by chandeliers inspired by the shapes of gasings (spinning Malay toys).
This blend of contemporary and traditional design extends to the hotel’s rooms and suites, where indigenous wau-inspired tassels – a nod to Malaysia’s traditional kites – sit alongside pixelated interpretations of batik motifs.
The rooms also feature signature W touches, including the brand’s plush W Bed, a pillow menu, walk-in wardrobes and state-of-the-art entertainment systems.
Guests staying in the two penthouse suites on the 23rd floor can enjoy uninterrupted views of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline. Each Penthouse Suite spans an impressive 175sqm, offering ample space for a luxurious stay.
Families may prefer the Supreme Suites, which provide a generous 105sqm of living space with a separate bedroom and living area.
All 14 Supreme Suites can also be connected to an adjoining Wonderful or Spectacular Room, adding a further 42sqm and creating additional space for families or small gatherings.
