InterContinental Kuala Lumpur

Luxe Retreat

Executive summary by darmansjah

After a luxurious update, Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur now exudes luxury, style and substance-everything a discerning traveler would be looking out for, and more.

Opened to the public in February 2012, InterContinental Kuala Lumpur is an urban oasis located in the heart of Malaysia’s bustling capital that  offers both business and leisure travelers exquisite style, convenience, spacious guestrooms, and most importantly, seamlessly intuitive service.

Pas the glass doors, InterContinental’s interior paints a picture of luxury and designer chic. From the top, an opulent chandelier cascades 4.5 metres down, creating a spectacular waterfall-like illusion of floating crystals in the midst of four grand columns, encased in gleaming silver rods and imposing black forest marble. The designers have spared no effort and expense in creating a luxe ambience, which is guaranteed to impress anyone who steps foot into the hotel premises.

Another highlight of this hotel is the new Concierge Lounge. While waiting keys to the room, guests can rest comfortably on cozy sofas, or be entertained with the iPads and iPod docking stations that are conveniently available.

Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur (for reservation or more information, please call +60 3  21611111) also offers guests easy access to a couple of attractions and shopping haunts, such as the city’s iconic Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Central Market, Chinatown and Independence Square.

Guests hoping to plant their leisurely days ahead of time can pick up the travel guides and books available, or head to the ‘In The Know’ corner – where a knowledgeable team of local staff are on-hand to provide travel tips on how to best maximize their time in Kuala Lumpur.
