Timeless glamor reinvented in Kuala Lumpur

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur brings modern luxury to the Malaysian capital, having opened its marble-clad hallways in May 2016. Blending the brand’s passion for travel heritage with vibrant contemporary art, inventive Asian dining and eclectic design, it symbolizes the city’s rebirth of urban glamor.

Set slightly apart from downtown, in the high-rise-filled KL Sentral business district, the hotel provides an impressive retreat for both business and leisure guests. Its spacious rooms and suites are among the largest in Asia, and each one gets its own dedicated butler. Six dining venues include heralded chef Takashi Saito’s Sushi Saito and Japan’s temple to tempura, Ginza Tenkuni. Iridium Spa pampers with indulgent treatments.

Once checked in, you may spot local celebrities and business leaders enjoying sundowner cocktails on the rooftop terrace or a weekend brunch paired with chilled champagne.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Designed to mimic a traveler’s trunk, the oversized mini-bar in each room is stocked with Veuve Clicquot champagne, Monkey Shoulder whiskey and Lindt chocolate.
Take a dip in the rooftop infinity pool and enjoy picture-perfect views of the city skyline, dominated by the Petronas Twin Towers and Menara KL Tower.
Pull up a leather armchair in the Manhattan-style Astor Bar, featuring Italian gold-leaf ceiling tiles, copper lamps and cranberry and mustard leather upholstery. Then sip an Asam Boi Bloody Mary mixed with locally grown asam boi (preserved plum) infused vodka, calamansi juice and Sarawak black pepper.
An impressive art collection includes a giant horse sculpture by Fernando Botero and Barnaby Hosking’s illuminated birds and butterflies wall installation, referencing the nearby Lake Gardens.
The 11,840-square-foot Iridium Spa offers ESPA body treatments and soothing views of the Lake Gardens. It is also the first Kuala Lumpur hotel spa to provide Endermologie anti-aging and body-contouring treatments.

Nearby attractions include the Perdana Botanical Garden, or Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur’s largest park featuring a colorful display dedicated to the hibsicus, Malaysia’s national flower. The National Museum is also within walking distance of the gardens.

The Restaurants

Book in advance for a weekend afternoon tea in The Drawing Room. With delights such as cranberry scones, poached lobster brioche with avocado and green tea cupcakes, it’s a cherished ritual among locals.
The champage Sunday brunch at The Brasserie is a celebrated Kuala Lumpur institution.
