HOT

The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur has a classy new look. PUTTING ON THE RITZ IN KL
The transformation, which has taken more than a year
of planning and craftsmanship, marks a new phase in
the hotel’s evolution.
Since its opening in December 1997, the 364-room
Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur has striven to offer the
highest level of personalised service and facilities.
It is a landmark in the prestigious Golden Triangle
district of Malaysia’s capital and recognised as one of
the top five butler-service hotels in the world.
The new design for the luxuriously-appointed guest
rooms, suites and public areas is fresh and modern
while embracing the hotel’s classical style. The
hotel’s famous butlers also remain the personification
of service excellence for which the hotel is world-
renowned. From unpacking and packing to arranging
car transfers to organising the perfect itinerary for
shopping, dining and entertainment, these highly
trained personnel play an integral part in creating a
flawless stay.
The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur has also established
itself as one of the best places to dine in KL,
with a portfolio of fine restaurants. Li Yen, the
hotel’s award-winning Cantonese restaurant, is
an enduring favourite while Sunday brunch at the
hotel, now served in The Cobalt Room, offers a
spread of signature roasts and fresh seafood as
well as artisanal cheeses and decadent desserts
accompanied with Champagne and wines.
Afternoon tea lovers will be spoilt for choice at The
Lobby Lounge with a choice of forty luxury teas from
Ronnefeldt, including the exclusive Ritz-Carlton Kuala
Lumpur Blend, accompanied by delicious cakes and
pastries. In the hotel’s Spa Village Kuala Lumpur there
is now a brand-new Sensory Sound Bath Room, the
first of its kind in Asia.
