Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur opens in Malaysia

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, the first Grand Hyatt hotel in Malaysia.
This elegant, contemporary and luxurious hotel with 370 guestrooms and 42 suites offers business travelers, tourists and local guests a sophisticated ambience. Situated in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) and right next to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the hotel is within walking distance of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, Suria KLCC, KLCC Park, Dewan Filharmonik Petronas as well as the Golden Triangle shopping and entertainment district. The Pavilion Shopping Centre is less than a 10-minute walk by the covered sky-bridge outside the hotel.
"We are thrilled to be able to bring the Grand Hyatt brand to the Malaysian community," said Larry Tchou, MD, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts-Asia Pacific. "Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur's opening echoes again Hyatt's development strategy, which is to focus on the gateway cities and markets where customers are traveling. We are very excited to introduce our authentic hospitality to Kuala Lumpur and cater to travelers from Asia and other continents around the globe."
Designed by award-winning architecture firm, Bilkey Llinas Design, the hotel exudes contemporary grandeur. The ground floor lobby is decorated with specially commissioned art pieces. A circular art feature inscribed with a well-known welcoming Qur'anic verse - A thousand dinar - is well positioned at the main entrance warmly inviting guests in. The second art piece by the Malaysian artist, Abdul Multhalib Musa, is a gold/bronze sculpture resembling an elegant tower. A crescent-shaped sculpture, symbolic to Brunei and Malaysia, is the centerpiece of the ground floor lobby, sitting perfectly in the calm pond by the grand staircase. To check-in to the hotel, guests are whisked to the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur's sky lobby, strategically positioned at the highest level of the building.
