There are several remarkable examples of hotel interior design across the world, but as genuine Malaysians, we failed to see that our country is in fact endowed and replete with hotel interiors that are so well-thought-out that they may actually shift the design discussion.
We wanted to go below the exterior and delve deeper into the legacy of hotels that symbolise innovative vision and artistic architecture. Here are five hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with interiors that defy convention.
1. Arte by Thomas Chan
Arte by Thomas Chan is a tribute to the French luxury, warmth, and pleasure of life, with precisely handmade Baroque-inspired columns, poetic hand-painted frescos, and remarkable creative expertise. The hotel, dubbed as the the highest hotel in the multicultural enclave of Mont’Kiara, links you to an abundance of foreign experiences.
The rooms and suites provide classic French elegance honed for today’s business, leisure, and family tourists, with a 24-hour fitness centre and an opulent infinity pool.

2. MoMo’s Kuala Lumpur
Momo’s is a hotel with a great deal of individuality, with 99 minimalist rooms with very beds, natural lighting, handmade amenities, 43″ smart TVs, and complimentary high-speed wifi. MoMosita Taco Bar, which serves Mexican food, tacos, nachos and beverages, is also located in the hotel, as is The Playground, a spacious, colourful setting with food and entertainment.

3. Lantern Hotel
Staying at Lantern allows you to quickly explore KL city due to the fact it is located just a short walk from all of the major sites, attractions, and KL transportation hubs. But don’t be deceived by the room’s appearance; it’s a tastefully rebuilt four-story structure with an industrial-meets-tropical design flair, enabling you to experience the best of both worlds.
The comfort and facilities of a boutique hotel are combined with the bustling and colourful environment of Petaling Street, Chinatown.

4. Container Hotel
Container Hotel, located on Jalan Damansara, is a delightful jewel for explorers, open-minded individuals. While it’s not quite a true experience out in nature, this one-of-a-kind environmental structure provides interesting rooms in cylinder tubes and even personal indoor cabana tents. The hotel is ideal for private staycations, or weekend visits with friends or family who want to experience something new.

5. Bunk & Bilik
While a trip to Japan might not be in your queue at the moment, that doesn’t mean you can’t arrange an overnight stay that will transport you to Nippon country. Bunk & Bilik is a comfortable boutique hotel that will make you feel at ease with elegant, simple rooms that radiate a Japanese-inspired zen appeal.
There’s a number of lodging options, featuring dormitory-style bunk beds and family suites, which are ideal for larger parties.
