15 best 5-star hotels in Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia is attracting more and more tourists – the country is developing, and its capital Kuala Lumpur is worth a visit for those who like the atmosphere and flavor of Southeast Asia. Exploring this region, visitors may find themselves in different places – in colorful India, mysterious China, or a Muslim country with minarets and women wearing hijabs.

The local architecture belongs to different countries and times. Therefore, this is where colonial English houses peacefully coexist with patterned Indian buildings. Moreover, Taoist and Buddhist temples of the 19th century are usually adjacent to skyscrapers sparkling with glass facades. Both adults and children will be glad to visit Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, Aquaria KLCC with a glass tunnel (you can watch the life of marine creatures right under the water!), stunning Perdana Botanical Gardens, and fantastic Batu Caves.

The city offers its guests numerous attractions, great family-friendly amusement parks, luxurious Asian shopping, and various cuisines. Besides, we recommend paying attention to 5-star hotels in Kuala Lumpur.
