The Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur has set out to offer its guests gracious Malaysian hospitality as one of the hallmark features of this luxurious five-star hotel centrally located in Kuala Lumpur’s downtown business district.

Staff are specially trained to provide professional, discrete, warm and friendly service in the hotel that has been designed to reflect local Malaysian heritage architecture. Guests experience genuinely warm service that is so typical of Malaysian hospitality.

While the hotel incorporates contemporary services and facilities, it features elements of Malaysia’s unique architecture. Guests have the opportunity to relax in one of 300 deluxe hotel rooms and suites or for longer staying guests, in one of the 102 well-appointed serviced apartments or studios.

For a city hotel, location is everything and the Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur is central to most inner city attractions, services, restaurants and bars. Bukit Bintang, KLCC (including Petronas Twin Towers) , the Convention Centre, Aquaria KLCC, Star Hill Gallery, the Pavilion and Lot 10 are between five and fifteen minutes walk or a short taxi driven from the hotel. While centrally located, the hotel is situated in a leafy oasis and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Immediately adjacent to the hotel are Badan Warisan (Malaysia’s National Trust) and Kompleks Kraf (Craft Complex). Travelling time to or from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to the hotel via limousine takes less than one hour.

The 402-room, five-star Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur is destined to become the city’s hotel of choice when it soft opens in February 2009. From its conceptual stage it has been designed as a great hotel – one that will capture the imagination of both the city’s residents and its guests. A glassed-in courtyard conservatory will be a dominant feature of this low-rise development of just 402 guestrooms.

It will be an oasis of tranquility; a soothing escape from the pressures of business and the rapid development of a city on the move. Guests will be able to step back in time and reflect upon the days when travel to the tropics was an adventure. Relaxation, comfort and personalised service are qualities for which the hotel will be known.

Tropical detail will feature to give residents a sense of being in Malaysia and these will blend with contemporary elements.

The hotel’s guestroom interiors have been meticulously designed to provide guests with a comfortable, welcoming and relaxing ambience.

Once again, local design features such as carved wood, textiles and ceramics have been used to offer guests a memorable Malaysian experience with attention being paid to place and culture.

One example of this is the labu sayong or Malaysian gourd-shaped water container which is used in the guestrooms as lamp shades. The style is best described as refined elegance with an emphasis on comfort.

While guests will appreciate these local touches many will also utilise the contemporary services and state-of-the-art facilities such as a LCD TV, broadband internet connections, IDD telephones, mini bar and, tea and coffee making facilities. Each room has a bathtub and freestanding shower with rainforest shower head. Most rooms have views of the Petronas Twin Towers while others face forested hills to the east of the city.

Leisure Time

Hotel guests can relax on the sunny second floor deck beside the cooling swimming pool. A water feature along the back wall to the pool provides a tranquil oasis for guests. Parents can rest easy in the jacuzzi while their children swim in a dedicated kid’s pool.

There is also a kid’s play centre on the first floor with professional and dedicated staff on hand to provide fun and educational activities for kids on holidays.

Guests can also work out in the fully-equipped fitness gymnasium, participate in aerobics classes or be pampered in the spa.

The open deck area and adjoining the Taman Mahsuri are also equipped with barbecue facilities for guests or groups who want to organise an informal open-air dining experience.

Pampering Spa

Guests can be totally pampered in the Telaga Bunga Spa located adjacent to the hotel swimming pool. The spa’s innovative layout includes eight private Balinese-inspired treatment rooms with experienced professionals on hand.
