Hyatt just reached a milestone with its Park Hyatt brand. The 50th property under this flag opened today in Kuala Lumpur. Hyatt first announced that it was opening the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur back in March 2018. The original timeline called for the property (which occupies the top 17 floors of the tallest skyscraper in Southeast Asia) to be complete in 2021. That date slipped quite a bit, but the good news is that it’s now open.
The hotel is located in the 118-story Merdeka 118 skyscraper. The building is 2,227 feet tall and quite the architectural marvel due to its massive size (it’s now the second tallest in the world just behind the Burj Khalifa in Dubai). The hotel offers 232 rooms (this includes 28 suites and 30 residential apartments), a spa, a pool, multiple food and beverage outlets, as well as meeting and event space. It’s certainly not for those afraid of heights, but I think it’s so cool to stay more than 100 stories in the sky.
The property looks every bit as luxe as you’d expect from a Park Hyatt and rates are surprisingly reasonable. Cash stays run around $315 per night and redeeming World of Hyatt® points will cost between 17,000 and 23,000 per night as this is a Category 5 hotel. I’ve never been to Kuala Lumpur, but it’s on the list for some day.
David Udell, Group President, Asia Pacific at Hyatt, said:
The Park Hyatt brand hits a milestone at 50 properties globally, adding its first hotel in Malaysia with the debut of Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur – also marking an important breakthrough for the brand within Southeast Asia and worldwide. This makes for an exciting chapter for Hyatt’s brand growth in the region, with three new properties opening in Kuala Lumpur within a year, an expansion of diverse offerings.”
Anthony’s Take: I’d love to stay at this property and find the height exciting rather than scary. The building looks incredible and I really like the Park Hyatt brand.
