In the heart of the increasingly dynamic business and entertainment district of KL Midtown, alongside the new KL Metropolis business complex and the modern The MET Corporate Towers, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown is preparing to welcome one of the most anticipated New Year's Eve nights in the city. Instead of the crowds in city squares and overcrowded public areas, the hotel offers an exclusive, controlled, and comfortable environment for counting down the final seconds of 2025 and entering 2026 – featuring the first major New Year's Eve fireworks organized precisely in this zone.
The lavish hotel complex is located in the immediate vicinity of the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), at No 7 Jalan Dutamas 2, making it an ideal starting point for guests who want to combine a stay in accommodation in Kuala Lumpur in the new business and tourism hub of KL Midtown with a top-tier gastronomic and entertainment program. Opened in August 2025, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown has quickly become a reference point for business travelers and visitors seeking a modern, urban experience with an emphasis on design, technology, and personalized service.
New Year's Eve on December 31, 2025, will also mark the premiere edition of an exclusive fireworks display to be launched from the area opposite the hotel, in collaboration with development partners KL Metropolis, NAZA TTDI, and The MET Corporate Towers. This gives KL Midtown its first major New Year's light celebration, designed to offer guests a safe and organized alternative to overcrowded city spots.
The hotel's General Manager, Till Martin, emphasizes that the targeted celebration concept is much broader than a classic countdown: the emphasis is on togetherness, a sense of belonging to the local community, and creating a new tradition in this part of the accommodation zone of Kuala Lumpur in the KL Metropolis district. The fireworks are envisioned as a ten-minute spectacle that will symbolically mark a new stage in the development of KL Midtown as a key city quarter for congresses, business meetings, and weekend city escapes.
Guests booking rooms and suites with city views will have the privilege of experiencing the fireworks from a completely private perspective. Large floor-to-ceiling windows open a panorama towards MITEC and the skyline of Kuala Lumpur as an attractive destination for accommodation during the holidays, while light effects reflect off the glass facades of surrounding office buildings. For those who want to avoid the crowds but still feel the atmosphere of a shared celebration, this view is a kind of "private box" above the city bustle.
In parallel with the preparations for the New Year's fireworks, the hotel already marked the holiday season during December with striking Christmas decorations, an imposing Christmas tree in the lobby approximately six meters high, and themed content that attracted both local visitors and guests from other parts of Malaysia. The festive atmosphere is a logical introduction to New Year's Eve, where the emphasis will be on a combination of gastronomic offerings, live music, a DJ program, and a carefully choreographed light performance above KL Midtown.
For those who want to celebrate in an atmosphere inspired by Tokyo, the hotel has prepared a special scenario at ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar on the 4th floor. This restaurant and bar, opened in October 2025, is already recognized as one of the most interesting new Japanese gastro-concepts in the accommodation and entertainment offer of Kuala Lumpur. Designed as a multi-zone space where an open kitchen, central bar, intimate corners, and an outdoor terrace intertwine, the ENSŌ New Year’s Eve program relies on a strong visual aesthetic of neon installations and the urban energy of the metropolis.
The program at ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar begins with a New Year's dinner from 5:00 PM, with a special menu priced at 488 RM+ per person. Guests can enjoy a signature blend of contemporary Japanese cuisine and premium ingredients, including fresh fish delivered from Tokyo's Toyosu market, robatayaki specialties, and creative tapas portions for sharing. Given the limited number of seats, this dinner is expected to be particularly sought after among lovers of a high Japanese gastronomic experience in modern hotel accommodation in Kuala Lumpur.
After the last evening portions leave the kitchen, ENSŌ transforms into the stage for "ENSŌ Neon Spectacular: Ignite The Night Countdown 2026," a New Year's party with a countdown from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. The entire space will be illuminated with neon installations inspired by Tokyo's nightlife districts, with a DJ set combining electronic music, contemporary pop, and a selection of Asian hits. Entry to the party is charged from 150 RM nett per person, and the price includes two signature cocktails, created specifically for this evening to accompany the Japanese gastro-story and the fireworks over KL Midtown.
For larger groups, the hotel has prepared two table packages at ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar. The smaller package is intended for groups of four to six people, at a price of 1,488 RM+, and includes three bar snacks and one bottle of premium spirits. The larger package, designed for groups of ten to twelve people, costs 2,888 RM+ and includes five bar snacks and three bottles of premium spirits. This approach allows friends, colleagues, or business partners to welcome 2026 in a more private, yet still extremely lively atmosphere, with a direct view of the fireworks and city light reflections.
Besides ENSŌ, an important role in the New Year's program is played by Midtown Brasserie, the hotel's main restaurant on the ground floor, designed as an "all-day dining" space with open kitchens and a rich buffet. For December 31, 2025, a New Year's buffet offer has been announced, with a special emphasis on a mix of Asian and Western specialties to satisfy the diverse profile of guests choosing accommodation in Kuala Lumpur with an emphasis on gastronomy. According to current information, the price of the New Year's lunch starts from 138 RM+ per person, while the New Year's dinner is charged from 328 RM+ per person, with a wide range of cold and warm appetizers, main courses, and desserts.
The day after the celebration, January 1, 2026, Midtown Brasserie continues the holiday rhythm with brunch and dinner. The New Year's brunch, conceived as an extended breakfast and lunch, is available at a price of 258 RM+ per person, while the New Year's dinner is charged from 218 RM+ per person. The concept is simultaneously adapted for guests who want to continue the New Year's celebration without too much formalism and for families who have decided to extend their stay in accommodation in KL Midtown during the holiday weekend.
Lovers of Chinese cuisine can spend New Year's Eve, as well as the first day of the new year, at China House restaurant. This restaurant elegantly blends regional Chinese cuisines in a contemporary interior, and special set menus for lunch and dinner have been prepared for the period of December 31 and January 1. Lunch is charged from 258 RM+ per person, while dinner is positioned at 388 RM+ per person, with an emphasis on the combination of classic recipes and modern interpretations, including dishes with fresh seafood, dim sum, and specialties roasted in a rambutan wood-fired oven.
In addition to the listed prices, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown highlights extra value for guests who decide to stay at the hotel during the holiday period. With timely booking, offers are available that include free breakfast and a 15% discount on meals in the hotel restaurants, making the combination of accommodation and gastronomy particularly attractive for couples and families who want to spend the end of the year in accommodation in Kuala Lumpur with a view of the city fireworks. Since this is the premiere New Year's fireworks in KL Midtown, interest is significant, so early bookings are especially recommended for rooms with city views and packages at ENSŌ.
The hotel itself features 306 rooms and suites, including 104 serviced residential apartments with a kitchen, which further attracts guests seeking a home-away-from-home feeling in accommodation in Kuala Lumpur. The interior of the rooms is designed in a Zen style, with natural tones, large windows, smart TVs, and fast Wi-Fi, while common areas include an outdoor pool, fitness center, and several floors dedicated to conference halls and events. Precisely the combination of congress infrastructure and lifestyle content makes KL Midtown a serious competitor to central city districts in a very short time.
The KL Midtown development project, of which Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur is a part, is the result of a partnership between Hap Seng Land and NAZA TTDI. The complex includes office buildings, residential towers, retail, and entertainment facilities, so the New Year's fireworks are also seen as a symbolic moment positioning the neighborhood as a new gathering point, not only for business meetings but also for the wider public. Guests who choose accommodation in KL Midtown during the New Year holidays thus get the chance to be part of the first major joint celebration in this new city center.
Organizers emphasize that the entire New Year's program at the hotel will be aligned with the current safety and operational standards of the hotel industry. An increased arrival of guests from the region is expected, as well as local residents of Kuala Lumpur who want to experience a new hotel address in the city. Especially standing out are guests choosing a combination of a shorter urban break and the celebration – a weekend package with a two-night stay, New Year's dinner, and access to the fireworks is one of the arrangements estimated to be among the most sought after.
When it comes to the fireworks experience itself, the hotel points out that the best view, along with city-view rooms, will be provided by the ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar terrace and the pool deck on the 5th floor. These spaces are located at an ideal height for a panoramic view of the fireworks that will take place directly opposite the hotel complex. Guests will be able to take photos and videos simultaneously without pushing and limited visibility, which is often the case in public areas in the city center. Thereby, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown further positions its accommodation in Kuala Lumpur as the choice for those who want comfort, privacy, and a quality view.
Although the focus of this season's program is on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2025, the hotel offers a series of connected holiday contents throughout December and early January – from Christmas buffets at Midtown Brasserie to special menus at China House and curated cocktails at ENSŌ. Since this is the first holiday season for the newly opened hotel in KL Midtown, the entire program is envisioned as a kind of "business card" of what guests can expect in the coming years, both regarding accommodation and holiday events.
