W Kuala Lumpur: The 5-Star Hotel To Not Only Stay At But Be Seen At

W Kuala Lumpur is the iconic brand’s first-ever hotel in Malaysia and it is strategically located at the epicentre of the city’s golden triangle boasting views of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and the city’s skyline. This luxurious hotel promises a stylish getaway for anyone looking for a great time in Kuala Lumpur including bleisure travellers.

150 Insta-worthy Rooms and Suites including 2 Penthouses

With 10 different room types to choose from including 18 exceptional suites and 2 penthouses that are perfect for entertaining, W Kuala Lumpur’s modern rooms and suites allow you to settle in real quick. 

From high-speed internet, to state-of-the-art entertainment systems, including W essentials such as W beds and pillow menus ensures all modern necessities and comfort are at your fingertips. All W Kuala Lumpur rooms and suites embody both traditional and modern elements of the jungle city such as traditional accents like indigenous “Wau” tassels found on Malaysian kites and pixelated versions of batik designs. 

We stayed in their Marvellous Suite which was a spacious 1130 square feet with multiple mirrors for selfies, a huge shower and bathtub and bed which was what we needed after the high octane party on Saturday night at WET Deck Pool Bar.

Multiple Dining Concepts at W Kuala Lumpur 

From breakfast, lunch and dinner, we dined at multiple concepts over the weekend and here are our recommendations. Fuel your mornings at Flock which is their all-day dining restaurant that has a wide spread for breakfast, the choice of a buffet lunch or a-la-carte option and a Sunday brunch called The Sunday Affair where you can add on wines or crafted cocktails for a boozy experience.

YEN serves up a diverse array of avant-garde designs with a twist, as well as revamped traditional Cantonese dishes. Creating the smorgasbord of dishes is simple but maintaining quality control is the most challenging part for Head Chef Tan Kim Weng who has over 30 years of experience. Must-order dishes are their crispy Golden Duck served with caviar, Foie Gras served on tofu, and chicken drumlets set on fire. YEN also serves up an all-you-can-eat weekend Dim Sum Brunch.

W Kuala Lumpur’s WOOBAR needs no introduction. This signature social place is known for its afternoon tea and bespoke cocktails. We were happy sipping on spirits that were hard to come by that we spotted sitting on their bar shelves. 

A must-visit is WET Deck pool bar which has breathtaking views of Malaysia’s Petronas Twin Towers as its stunning backdrop. Happy hour is from 4pm to 7pm and be sure to order their really cool Hookah Shisha that comes in several flavours. The team at W Kuala Lumpur sure knows how to throw a party as we had such an amazing time. The best part, last order for food is at 11pm with grubs such as pizzas and pastas to choose from.
