The Kuala Lumpur skyline has a new jewel. Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, the first of the brand in Malaysia, has officially opened its doors inside Merdeka 118, the tallest skyscraper in Asia Pacific.
Occupying levels 75 to 114 of the tower, the hotel is a luxurious sanctuary in the clouds, with sweeping views of the city, refined design rooted in local heritage, and a collection of dining and wellness experiences crafted for discerning travellers. This debut also marks the Park Hyatt brand’s 50th property worldwide, a significant milestone in its expansion across Southeast Asia.
A home in the sky
Each of the 252 guestrooms and suites at Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is designed as a private sanctuary. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views, while natural light filters through sleek shutters. Suites offer expansive living areas, a walk-in dressing room, full baths with rain showers and aromatherapy steamers, personal studies, and – in some – private dining spaces overlooking the city.
Design inspired by heritage
The interiors, envisioned by G.A Group, draw inspiration from the traditional Malay kampung house. Perforated brass screens etched with batik canting patterns add texture and artistry, while timber accents, woven details, and Peranakan influences bring warmth to the contemporary space.
Art plays a key role here. Curated by Artlink, the hotel’s collection celebrates Malaysian colours and organic forms, with works from both local artisans and international names. Guests can also explore the Merdeka 118 Precinct through exclusive guided tours, visiting landmarks such as Stadium Merdeka – where Malaysia’s independence was declared – and the Merdeka Textile Museum.
Dining elevated
Three distinct dining destinations showcase Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur’s culinary vision.
- Merdeka Grill reimagines the modern grill with premium cuts, sustainable seafood, and locally sourced produce. Signature dishes, including cedar-wood roasted salmon and Chateaubriand, are prepared tableside for an element of theatre.
- Park Lounge offers heritage-inspired Malaysian dishes such as Botok Ikan and Gulai Taucu Minang, alongside an afternoon tea experience served in courses, with delicate Mille Feuille prepared tableside.
- Cacao Mixology & Chocolate is Kuala Lumpur’s first chocolate-themed bar, combining panoramic views with cacao-infused cocktails, artisanal chocolates, and live Bossa nova music. Private chocolate-making workshops with the hotel’s pastry team add a hands-on touch.
Wellness with a view
The spa, perched on the 99th floor, is a serene retreat featuring a yoga studio, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a Himalayan Salt Alcove, vitality pool, and a 30-metre infinity pool. Unique circadian therapies are designed to harmonise the body’s energy cycles, complemented by bespoke bath salt blending with locally inspired ingredients.
Spaces for every occasion
From intimate celebrations to executive meetings, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur offers elegantly appointed event spaces bathed in natural light and equipped with the latest technology. The backdrop – Kuala Lumpur’s dynamic skyline – adds a sense of occasion to every gathering.
With its blend of elevated luxury, cultural storytelling, and unmatched location, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur redefines what it means to stay in the heart of the Malaysian capital – quite literally, at the top of it.
