Kuala Lumpur's skyline just got a serious upgrade. Remember the Merdeka 118? Yes, the very same one that Florence Pugh jumped off of for Marvel's Thunderbolts movie. It's also Asia Pacific's tallest skyscraper – and as if that's not enough – it's not home to Malaysia's very first Park Hyatt hotel.
Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is no ordinary hotel check-in. With 252 rooms and suites perched between levels 75 and 114 of Merdeka 118, it's a literal home in the clouds. The inside promises to be just as spectacular, with nods to Malaysia's cultural roots seen in kampong-inspired timber and textures, batik-etched brass screens, and curated artworks inspired by the country's natural landscapes.
The dining is a showstopper, too. Merdeka Grill presents a modern grill experience, with premium cuts, sustainable seafood, and locally-sourced produce complete with some tableside theatrics. Park Lounge revives forgotten local recipes like Botok Ikan alongside an elegant afternoon tea. And for the chocolate lovers out there, there's Cacao Mixology & Chocolate, the city's first chocolate-themed bar. Sip on chocolate laced cocktails, small-batch spirits, and zero-proof drinks while enjoying skyline views and live Bossa nova melodies.
Any respectable luxury hotel nowadays will offer a wellness experience to die for, and Park Hyatt is no different. The 99th-floor spa offers Himalayan salt alcoves, circadian therapy, and an infinity pool that seems to spill into the Kuala Lumpur skyline. There's also a yoga studio, fitness centre, private treatment suites, and a relaxation lounge.
Beyond the hotel, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur also plugs into the Merdeka 118 tower and precinct, giving visitors access to 118 Mall (opening in Q3 2025), observation decks (opening in Q2-Q3 2025), as well as cultural stops like Stadium Merdeka and Merdeka Textile Museum.
