Resplendence
A uniquely one-of-its-kind lobby presents itself as you ascend 39 floors
to the sky lobby of Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur for check-in. The lift doors
open to reveal the most magnificent of views of Kuala Lumpur you can lay
your eyes on. The lobby spans the views of the city and mountains in the
background, where you will be able to cleverly spot Genting Highlands in
the near distance.
Located ideally in the city centre—adjacent to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and surrounded by lush gardens of Kuala Lumpur City Centre
Park – the hotel is easy to find. If you are looking to get out of the five-star
luxury and explore the city, the entertainment district, major shopping
malls and tourist attractions are all within walking distance. The KL Tower
and Aquaria KLCC are a few steps away, where food and convenience
stores are within reach.
For a change in scenery or somewhere quiet to take a breather, head up
to the Grand Club Lounge on the 37th floor where privacy abounds. At
the Grand Club, exclusive services can be enjoyed. Instead of joining the
mass of people for the buffet breakfast at THIRTY8, you have the option
of enjoying the complimentary continental breakfast served daily at the
Grand Club Lounge. Should you feel peckish later in the day from 6:00 to
8:00pm, a wide variety of drinks accompanied by hot and cold canapés are
served every evening.
With room sizes amongst the largest in the city, you are sure to get the
comfort you need. Travelling with my husband and 7-month-old daughter,
the room definitely provided for all our needs and more. With one simple
request, a complimentary crib was shortly wheeled into our room, along
with baby bath amenities, an extra towel, and additional bottles of water.
Do not hesitate to retreat to Essa Spa for that well deserved respite when
you feel like it. A unique spa brand created for Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur
alone, Essa Spa cannot be found elsewhere. Pick what you need from an
extensive range of facial treatments, body treatments like body polishes,
wraps and massages. June Jacobs spa products, a trusted spa brand from
New York, are used during treatments to guarantee results.
I found it comforting that the bathroom was sectioned off into different
parts—bath and shower area, changing room, toilet, vanity, and sink—all
separated but still comfortably within reach. To cordon off the wet area
from the rest of the room, a sliding door can easily be pulled. Directly behind the bed sits the bath area, with see-through glass in case you want
to bask in the wonder of superb views whilst taking a shower (or other
reasons). But in case you are terribly shy and require that extra privacy, the
glass is instantly frosted at the flick of a switch.
Alternatively, guests can head to the hotel’s 24-hour fitness centre
