The capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, yesterday witnessed the spectacular return of one of the world's most famous hotel brands. With the grand opening of Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, the city has gained a new, impressive hub of luxury, business events, and top-tier gastronomy. This long-awaited debut marks a new era of urban hospitality, combining impeccable service with a breathtaking architectural vision. The project was realized through a strategic partnership of KL Midtown Sdn Bhd, which is comprised of Hap Seng Land Sdn Bhd (part of Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd) and TTDI KL Metropolis Sdn Bhd (part of Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd), and its goal is to position Kuala Lumpur as an unmissable destination on the global map.

The grand opening ceremony brought together distinguished guests from the worlds of business, architecture, and diplomacy, confirming the significance of this project for the entire region. Among the key guests were Mr. Thomas Karl Rapp, Chairman, and Datuk Edward Lee, Group Managing Director of Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad, as well as Encik Nasarudin Nasimuddin, Chairman and Group CEO, and Encik Faliq Nasimuddin, Deputy Executive Chairman of Naza Group. A special guest was the world-renowned architect, Mr. Kengo Kuma, whose studio Kengo Kuma & Associates is responsible for the hotel's unique design. The event was also attended by Mr. David Udell, Group President, Asia-Pacific for Hyatt Hotels Corporation, along with other prominent figures.

An architectural masterpiece by Kengo Kuma

Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown is not just a hotel; it is a living sculpture that embodies the philosophy of the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Known for his approach that emphasizes lightness, transparency, and sustainability, Kuma has created a space that harmoniously blends nature, Japanese heritage, and contemporary sophistication. His vision integrates natural materials such as wood, stone, and paper, creating a serene yet dynamic atmosphere that isolates guests from the city's hustle and bustle. Every corner of the hotel exudes cultural depth, offering a modern and inviting sanctuary. Kuma's ingenious approach ensures that the hotel is not just a place to stay, but an experience that enriches the spirit and encourages reflection on the relationship between man and nature in an urban environment. Warm wooden accents, a subtle play of light and shadow, and open concepts create a sense of peace and connection.

The hotel's General Manager, Till Martin, expressed his excitement: "It is with great pleasure that we introduce Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown – a hotel that redefines urban hospitality through outstanding design, thoughtful amenities, and an unparalleled location. With the inspiring architecture of Kengo Kuma and our commitment to providing a carefully curated experience, we are poised to make a lasting impression on both business and leisure travelers. Our goal is to create a dynamic hub for global events, foster connections, and elevate the city's status as a leading destination for business, conventions, lifestyle, and tourism."

Strategic location in the heart of a prestigious district

The hotel boasts an ideal location in the vibrant heart of the Dutamas and Mont Kiara districts, which are considered some of the most prestigious addresses in Kuala Lumpur. This position offers unrivaled access to the city's business center, iconic landmarks, and premier shopping and entertainment centers. It is perfectly connected to major suburban highways, and guests are just a few minutes' walk from the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) – the largest event space in the country. This strategic position makes it an ideal choice for discerning business travelers attending conferences, event organizers, and tourists exploring the city's rich offerings. A stay here offers a perfect balance between business commitments and opportunities to explore the local culture and way of life, and there are numerous accommodation options in Kuala Lumpur that suit various needs.

Superior comfort and a variety of accommodation units

With a total of 410 accommodation units, including 306 modernly equipped rooms and suites and 104 full-service residences, the hotel is tailored for both short-term visitors and guests planning a longer stay. The offering is exceptionally diverse and includes 15 room types and 22 suite types – from standard King and Twin rooms, through Regency Club rooms and suites, to Diplomatic suites and the exclusive Presidential Suite. Guests who book Regency Club category rooms have access to the exclusive Regency Club Lounge – a warm and comfortable space designed for productivity and relaxation, open daily with breakfast, afternoon refreshments, and evening cocktails.

The full-service residences, available for booking, offer an additional level of privacy with their own lobby entrance and a dedicated drop-off area. Guests can choose between spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments, each equipped with a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator and separate dining and living areas. These units are perfect for families, business travelers on a longer assignment, or those who need temporary accommodation in Kuala Lumpur during transitional periods.

A gastronomic journey that awakens all senses

Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown proudly continues Hyatt's tradition of culinary excellence through four distinct restaurants and bars, each with a unique concept. Executive Chef Jonas Juchli highlights the philosophy behind the offering: "Our culinary philosophy is based on two unwavering commitments: authenticity and responsibility. We start with a deep understanding of Malaysian flavors while preserving time-tested cooking methods. Every ingredient is sustainably sourced – from local farms to ethical fisheries. Our mission is led by a world-class culinary team, composed of Peking duck masters, sushi masters versed in Edo-era traditions, and pastry chefs who elevate heritage recipes. Together, we blend ancient wisdom with modern precision to create dishes that are both authentic and innovative."

Midtown Brasserie serves exquisite all-day dining in a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. The sunlit Midtown Lounge elevates the afternoon tea experience to a new level with artisanal pastries and premium teas. For guests seeking authentic Chinese flavors, China House offers an impressive culinary experience where timeless traditions meet contemporary elegance. The menu, designed by three renowned chefs from the culinary hubs of China, celebrates the robust flavors of northern China through iconic specialties like the signature Peking duck roasted over rambutan wood – a local fruit, which gives it a unique aroma, crispy golden skin, and succulent meat. The menu offers a symphony of authentic creations, from artfully crafted dim sum and fresh seafood to lavish traditional desserts.

ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar redefines Japanese cuisine through a carefully curated, multi-sensory experience. Upon entry, guests are immersed in an atmosphere where contemporary design harmonizes with traditional Japanese aesthetics. The main dining area is dominated by an impressive bar with one of the most extensive collections of premium sake in Kuala Lumpur. Here, connoisseurs can pair exceptional Japanese whiskies and rare sakes with exquisite offerings like the chef's choice of sashimi air-flown directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market. The sushi is prepared using authentic Edomae techniques. As the evening progresses, ENSŌ transforms into a dynamic social destination. Expert mixologists create innovative cocktails, and the musical backdrop from the resident DJ elevates the energy, creating unforgettable evenings.
