Park Hyatt to open at Merdeka 118, rooms above RM2,000
KUALA LUMPUR: Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is set to open next month, taking up the top floors of Permodalan Nasional Bhd's Merdeka 118, the tallest skyscraper in Asia Pacific, offering uninterrupted views of the city from levels 100 to 112. The hotel will feature 252 spacious guest rooms, including 27 suites, blending Malaysia's rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship with modern, refined design. According to Hyatt's website, opening rates for a standard room with a king bed or two twin beds (570 to 635 square feet) average around RM2,455 per night, while a corner room with a king bed (613 to 742 square feet) is priced at an average of RM3,165 per night. Guests can expect tranquil, elegant rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the city skyline. Dining will be a standout highlight, with three restaurants on the 75th floor serving sweeping views of Kuala Lumpur. The hotel's unique Cacao Bar, the highest in the city, will be Kuala Lumpur's first chocolate-themed bar, catering to leisure travellers who increasingly seek memorable culinary experiences. Hyatt will also mark the return to the capital with the launch of Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown on August 26, its seventh property in the city. Located opposite the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre and near the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation, the new 450-room hotel will anchor the emerging KL Midtown district as a key hub for business and leisure travellers alike. In a statement, Hyatt Hotels Corporation said it plans to expand its luxury and lifestyle portfolio across Asia Pacific, with nearly 90 new properties slated to open over the next five years. This growth includes the debut of the Thompson Hotels brand in the region, alongside significant new openings for the Andaz, The Standard, and Park Hyatt brands in destinations such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia in 2025 and 2026. Globally, Hyatt has more than doubled its luxury room count, tripled its resort rooms, and grown its lifestyle offerings five-fold since 2017. As demand for luxury travel in Asia Pacific continues to surge, Hyatt's expansion strategy is aimed at capturing this momentum. As of the first quarter of 2025, 64 per cent of Hyatt's hotels and resorts in Asia Pacific fall within the luxury and upper-upscale categories. "Today, luxury is about authenticity and unique experiences. Our recently refined brand architecture and expansion in luxury and lifestyle portfolios allow us to cater to discerning travellers with focus and differentiation," said Carina Chorengel, senior vice president, commercial, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. "We are excited about offering enriching experiences that will further strengthen Hyatt's position as a leader in luxury and lifestyle hospitality in the region."
