Best 5-Star hotels in KL
1. Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur
Overlooking the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is another iconic 5-star hotel in KL. Fall asleep to the twinkling city lights, have breakfast in bed, and soak your stress and worries away in large deep-soaking marble tubs with breathtaking views of the KL city skyline (or even views of the Twin Towers if you book a Tower View suite!).
Even if you don't book a room with the tower view, you can pop by THIRTY8, an elegant dining space located on the 38th floor of the hotel, boasting a 360-degree view of the KL city skyline!

2. Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur
Take your staycation to the next level with Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur, a luxurious hotel nestled in the heart of KL.

The hotel has 3 rooms for guests to choose from: Executive Pool Room, Premium Pool Suite, and Panorama Pool Suite. All rooms are spacious, with super comfy beds and complimentary drinks and snacks.
Be sure to head up to the infinity pool at night, even if you're not planning on going for a night swim. The view from the 51st floor completely transforms at night - instead of bright blue skies, you get glittering city lights with the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, and Merdeka 118 buildings all lit up. Don't miss out on the SkyDeck either, where you can see the city right below your feet. It's like walking on air!
