The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur truly lives up to its reputation as a luxurious hotel with nearly a hundred years of history—the atmosphere is amazing!

After a week-long island vacation, I flew back to Kuala Lumpur from Langkawi~ Today marks the 15th hotel stay with my parents on this trip, at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur, an Autograph Collection Hotel by Marriott. In the 1930s, The Majestic Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in all of Southeast Asia! For the 30 years before its reopening in 2012, this building served as the National Art Gallery. Kuala Lumpur, as the hub for AirAsia and a diplomatic center in Southeast Asia, is brimming with five-star hotels that are incredibly affordable. If it's your first time here, you must stay at The Majestic Hotel, located opposite the old train station. Within walking distance, you can reach the National Mosque, the Islamic Arts Museum, Chinatown, and it's only 1 kilometer from the Central Station, 2 kilometers from Independence Square, and 3 kilometers from the Petronas Twin Towers—the location is unbeatable! Besides its unique location, The Majestic is steeped in history~ The hotel was established in 1932 and was one of the best hotels during the British colonial period. Until before World War II, it was the go-to choice for government receptions and high-end social events. After surviving the war, the hotel was acquired and developed by the YTL Hotels Group, marked as a Classic style and managed by Marriott—listed under the Autograph Collection. The Majestic Hotel has two wings: the original Main Wing and the newer Tower Wing. The Tower Wing offers newer, more modern rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a new swimming pool, and a fitness center—all located in the Tower Wing~ However, if you want to experience the true century-old history, I still recommend staying in the old building, where the Colonial Suite and the Governor Suite are both excellent choices!
