Location
The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur includes the original “Hotel Majestic” which is documented as a national heritage site. This colonial structure was built in 1932 and became one of the great hotels of Kuala Lumpur in its time. An icon of Malaya’s boom years leading to World War II, the hotel came to be the place for glamorous social events, government receptions and the residence for prominent international visitors. The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur is set on 3.2 acres on Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, opposite the striking old Moorish style railway station. It is conveniently close to Sentral Station with its express rail link to Kuala Lumpur International Airport within 28 minutes and the rapidly growing Kuala Lumpur Sentral business precinct. Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and the Golden Triangle are just ten minutes away by car. This key location is known as the historical mile of Kuala Lumpur. In the vicinity are many of the city's tourist attractions, including the National Museum, National Mosque, Islamic Arts Museum, Lake Gardens and Bird and Butterfly Parks.

WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL
Accommodation is housed in the Majestic Wing and the Tower Wing, separate buildings linked by a glass enclosed walkway. The Majestic Wing is the original historic hotel building and the 47 luxurious suites exude old world elegance and impart a sense of history. Despite the vintage charm, the suites also feature tastefully modern furnishings, a perfect mix of past and present. The Majestic Wing is the original historic hotel building and the suites echo the art deco nuances of the hotel. Timber floors are overlaid with tufted carpets in warm colours and luxurious art deco furnishings feature throughout. The black and white chequered tiled bathrooms feature claw-footed bathtubs and separate showers. Choose from a Straits Room, Colonial Suite, Governor Suite and the most opulent of all, the two Majestic Suites.
The Tower Wing features 253 guestrooms and suites and complements the original building in the art deco style with the use of dark marble and polished chrome. The difference is subtle yet distinct, with a more contemporary and sophisticated feel in the design and furnishings, including plush carpeting and elegant four poster beds. Room categories include Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites, Grand Suites and Premier Suites. The Tower Wing houses the majority of the Hotel’s plush guestrooms and suites, and complements the original building in the art deco style with the use of polished chrome and jewel veneers. The bathrooms are delightfully decadent modern glass enclosed sanctuaries with dual vanities, a separate rain shower and large free standing bathtub facing a wall-mounted television for those long bubble bath soaks at the end of the day. All rooms and suites feature complimentary WI-FI.
Dining at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur offers a confluence of past and present. Here, against a lustrous backdrop that ranges from turn-of-the-century architecture to art deco, exquisite modern regional cuisine juxtaposes a re-interpretation of the colonial dishes of the Old World. Embodying the delicious decadence of the 1930’s, The Smoke House features a lounge and bar, a private dining room with a Chef on call, a cigar room, bespoke tailor and Truefitt & Hill, the world leader in gentlemen’s grooming. Distinctively appointed in the art deco style of Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Macintosh’s Willow Tearooms, The Majestic Spa offers something different. Turn of the century England was not only a period of social grace and tradition, but also of progress and change. The Willow Tearooms of Scotland became iconic gathering places for businessmen to meet, read the paper or discuss politics, and an elegant environment for proper ladies to lunch, play cards
