Kuala Lumpur is revving up preparations for the 47th ASEAN Summit, and many related meetings, in late October which will draw thousands of delegates.
In the hospitality sector, Hyatt’s two newest hotels opened in August – Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur and Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, bringing its total to seven in the federal territory.
“Being the first Park Hyatt in Malaysia atop Asia-Pacific’s tallest skyscraper, Merdeka 118, we cater to the luxury and bespoke MICE segment. Rather than scale, we offer discerning delegates from within Malaysia and the region an exclusive, elevated experience,” said Herman Kemp, general manager, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
The 252 guestrooms and suites are on levels 100 to 118. The six residential-style Executive Salons on level 98 come with natural daylight, pre-function areas and show kitchens. Seating capacity ranges from 18 pax in an individual salon up to 170 pax theatre-style in three combined salons.
Meanwhile, the 306-key Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, opposite Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, is also able to host events across three floors, with a total of 16 event halls and meeting rooms, including a pillarless grand ballroom. The level 4 Courtyard has four meeting rooms for up to 270 pax, with outdoor patio and option for a full-floor buyout.
Other city properties ideal for business delegates include the Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur and Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, where the latter is directly connected to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
A Hyatt spokesperson said the company will work closely with Tourism Malaysia and Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau on key events and initiatives, including support for the ASEAN Summit and Visit Malaysia 2026.
