Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur

$$ | 10 Jalan Perak Lot 163, Kuala Lumpur, 50450, Malaysia

Hotel Maya

$$ | 138 Jalan Ampang Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur, 50450, Malaysia

The combination of boutique-hotel vibe and urban-resort relaxation makes Hotel Maya particularly appealing. All 207 airy rooms are flooded with light and fitted in contemporary furnishings. Organic building materials, such as rock, wood, and bamboo, are used throughout. Small details, like the 24-hour butler service or the nightcap served in the Sky Lounge on the 13th floor—where all guests receive complimentary coffee, tea, and baked goods—are added bonuses. The Anggun Spa has a varied menu including Malay Urut, Thai, Swedish, and Balinese treatments, with a steam room and heated hydrotherapy pool that both deserve a visit.

Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur

$$ | 2 Jalan Stesen Sentral, Kuala Lumpur, 50470, Malaysia Fodor's Choice
A stone's throw from KL Sentral and only a 15-minute walk from Brickfields Station, the Little India neighborhood, and a cornucopia of great food, Le Meridien's location is ideal. KL can be tough on weary travelers, especially in the heat, and the rooms here are an oasis. Mattresses and pillows are cloudlike, the rain forest showerheads are a godsend after a long flight, and the rooms have been thoughtfully designed with USB ports on both sides of the bed and at the desk. Le Meridien and the neighboring Hilton are connected by a walkway, and guests can use the pools and gyms at both hotels.

Pros

  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Expansive breakfast
  • Fantastic location

Cons

  • Slow check-in
  • Doesn't like to take special requests

Conveniently located between the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur City Centre Park, Mandarin Oriental is smack-dab in the center of town. All 30 floors offer impressive views of the city, but request a Petronas facing room in order to gaze through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the high-standing towers.

There are 10 restaurants at the MO, including Aqua, which overlooks KLCC Park and serves family-friendly continental fare. Exhausted travelers can rejuvenate their senses by dipping into The Spa's steam room, sauna, and vitality pool before indulging in a signature treatment.
