New Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown opens with 410 rooms, residences, and world-class dining experiences
(NEWS) CHICAGO, 2025-Aug-27 — /Travel PR News/ — Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, marking the much-anticipated return of the Hyatt Regency brand to Malaysia’s capital and becoming the seventh Hyatt property in the city. Strategically located in the heart of the dynamic KL Midtown district, the new hotel offers guests seamless access to Kuala Lumpur’s central business district, cultural landmarks, retail hubs, and entertainment venues, while being only steps away from the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), the country’s largest convention facility.
Designed by internationally acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the 410-key property blends natural materials and traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern sophistication, creating an urban sanctuary that embodies Hyatt Regency’s philosophy of openness and care. The hotel comprises 306 guestrooms and suites alongside 104 fully serviced residences, catering to both business and leisure travelers as well as long-stay guests. Enhanced by a wide array of accommodations — from Regency Club rooms and Diplomatic Suites to fully equipped apartments — the property combines upscale comfort with a sense of neighborhood charm.
Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur also elevates dining in the city with four distinct venues. Midtown Brasserie and Midtown Lounge provide all-day culinary experiences and artisanal afternoon teas, while China House showcases the robust flavors of Northern Chinese cuisine, highlighted by a signature wood-fired Peking Duck prepared by a team of master chefs. ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar introduces an immersive Japanese dining experience with one of Kuala Lumpur’s most extensive sake collections, authentic Edomae sushi, and a lively evening atmosphere with cocktails and DJ sets.
For events and conferences, the property offers 16 versatile function spaces, including a pillarless ballroom and zen-inspired Courtyard for outdoor networking, equipped with the latest technology and supported by dedicated event concierge services. Leisure facilities include infinity pools for both hotel and residence guests, a 24-hour fitness center, a Kidz Club, and private lounges, ensuring a balance of relaxation, family-friendly activities, and wellness.
General Manager Till Martin emphasized the hotel’s ambition to become a hub for global events while delivering meaningful experiences that blend architecture, hospitality, and cultural depth. Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur also supports Hyatt’s global loyalty program, World of Hyatt, with bonus point offers for early stays. With its debut, Hyatt strengthens its footprint in one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant markets, showcasing a brand identity that unites modern hospitality, exceptional design, and immersive cultural experiences.
In addition to expanding its presence in Kuala Lumpur, Hyatt Hotels Corporation has also signed a new franchise agreement with PT Lombok Torok Developments to introduce the Destination by Hyatt brand to Southeast Asia with the upcoming Samara Lombok resort. Scheduled to open in 2027 on the island’s scenic south coast, the 125-hectare integrated luxury property will feature wellness facilities, sports venues, diverse dining experiences, and direct beachfront access. Designed to deliver immersive and authentic stays, Samara Lombok will further strengthen Hyatt’s commitment to growing its portfolio across key markets in the region while supporting the development of Indonesia’s flourishing hospitality sector.
