A polished urban retreat designed for business travellers, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown combines thoughtful design, seamless service, and exceptional facilities
Rooms
I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious my standard Club Floor room at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, turned out to be. Spanning 42m2, it exceeded the average size of similar five-star rooms in the city – and it certainly felt that way the moment I stepped in. The layout was thoughtfully designed, creating a sense of openness and calm.
Beyond the plush king-sized bed, the room featured a comfortable sitting area with a three-seater sofa, an ergonomic chair, and a round table that doubled as a work desk. Despite these furnishings, there was still ample room to move about, giving it a relaxed, residential feel. I also appreciated the high-speed Wi-Fi and 65-inch LED television with Chromecast, which allowed me to stream my favourite workout videos before breakfast – a small but convenient touch.
The property offers 410 rooms, comprising 306 guestrooms and 104 one- and two-bedroom serviced residences. Its thoughtful design extends to separate entrances and dedicated drop-off areas for hotel and residence guests, ensuring privacy and a seamless arrival experience.
MICE facilities
With 2,510m2 of meeting space across three floors, the hotel caters impressively to business events. The 1,011m2 pillarless grand ballroom on Level 2 accommodates up to 750 guests in banquet-style, supported by 15 other flexible venues equipped with advanced audiovisual technology and high-speed connectivity.
Natural light floods the foyers through floor-to-ceiling glass panels, offering uplifting views of the neighbouring Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre and its landscaped surroundings.
On Level 4, the four Courtyard meeting rooms open onto a tranquil al fresco terrace inspired by Japanese garden design. This breezy space connects directly to Enso Izakaya & Bar, ideal for cocktails or post-meeting dinners — a thoughtful integration of business and leisure.
Other facilities
Dining was another highlight. Mornings began at Midtown Brasserie, the all-day dining restaurant, with a generous spread of local and Asian favourites. Dinner at China House was unforgettable, especially the wood-fired Peking Duck roasted using Malaysia’s rambutan wood — crisp, succulent, and perfectly paired with Pu’er fermented Chinese tea. The team’s deep knowledge of over 50 curated tea varieties from across China made the experience even more engaging.
For a change of pace, Enso Izakaya & Bar offered authentic Japanese fare, from charcoal-grilled yakitori to comforting nabemono hot pots. As night fell, a resident DJ’s curated soundtrack transformed the venue into a lively social hub — the perfect close to an eventful day.
The fifth floor is entirely devoted to health and wellness, anchored by the Core Fitness Centre – one of the largest hotel gyms in Kuala Lumpur. Bright, airy, and well-equipped, it features state-of-the-art machines, a steam room, sauna, and a dedicated studio for group fitness classes. Guests enjoy 24-hour access via room key, while local residents can also join through paid memberships.
As a Club Floor guest, I also had the privilege of accessing the rooftop infinity pool on Level 32, typically reserved for serviced-residence guests. Floating in tranquil water with uninterrupted views of the city skyline, I could not help but feel it was the perfect reward after a productive day — a moment of stillness worth a million dollars.
Service
What truly elevated my stay was the impeccable service — warm, intuitive, and genuinely thoughtful. From the moment I arrived, every staff interaction felt natural and attentive, whether it was the housekeeping team anticipating my preferences or the restaurant staff offering tailored recommendations with a smile.
Verdict
This property delivers a rare kind of hospitality that makes you feel not just like a valued guest, but like you truly belong; it is the reason I left already planning my return.
