Malaysia’s energetic financial and cultural capital will receive a new luxury hotel with the opening of Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.

The high-end hotel, designed to meet the needs of both leisure and business travellers, is slated to open in 2021 in the PNB 118 tower. When completed, PNB will be the tallest skyscraper in Southeast Asia and the third-tallest in the world.

The hotel will occupy the top 17 floors of the 118-floor tower overlooking Stadium Merdeka, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the country’s independence was declared in 1957. It will offer 232 guestrooms, including 28 suites and 30 residential apartments. In keeping with the Park Hyatt brand, the hotel will offer guests warm, intimate experiences, including residential-inspired spaces like libraries and galleries. It will boast three on-site restaurants and bars, a six-room spa, a fitness centre and a swimming pool with views of the city.

“The new Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur will provide guests with meaningful and enriching moments as they find themselves surrounded by contemporary luxury and artistry at its best — from original art works to the finest in culinary expression,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corp.
