THE Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, the inaugural Grand Hyatt in Malaysia, opened its doors last Friday.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring the Grand Hyatt brand to the Malaysian community,” said Larry Tchou, managing director, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts – Asia-Pacific. “Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur’s opening echoes Hyatt’s development strategy, which is to focus on the gateway cities and markets where customers are travelling.”

Situated next to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and within walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers and the Golden Triangle shopping area, the 370-room, 42-suite Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur offers some of the largest rooms on the market, starting at 47m².

Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, each guestroom comes equipped with high-speed wireless Internet connectivity and a docking station for MP3 players.

There are three F&B options at the hotel, including THIRTY8, an all-day dining restaurant serving international cuisine; JP teres, featuring Malaysian dishes; and Poolside, an alfresco outlet offering international and local favorites.

The Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur also offers more than 3,300m² of meeting and events space with six venues to choose from, including the pillarless Grand Ballroom and Grand Salon.
