KUALA LUMPUR: Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur, a hotel designed to offer an inspiring stay with an insider’s perspective on the vibrant Southeast Asian hub, has officially opened its doors. The 312-room property serves as a unique gateway to Malaysia’s cultural heritage, featuring immersive spaces, curated experiences and opportunities for deeper connections with local communities.

Located just steps from Kuala Lumpur’s iconic Twin Towers and close to KL Tower, Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur seamlessly combines access to local culture with modern comfort, catering to travelers seeking purpose and style. Spanning 21 floors, the hotel boasts a variety of guest rooms and suites, an open-air infinity saltwater pool with city views, a fully equipped 24-hour fitness centre and three globally inspired dining venues.

“As we open our doors, we’re thrilled to introduce Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur as a launchpad for local creatives and global explorers to discover the history, culture, art, culinary scene and the people that make this vibrant city,” said its general manager Chikako Shimizu. “Our guests can think of us as their  kawan, or local bestie, with a passion here to connect guests with authentic experiences, helping them explore beyond the typical tourist trails and create shareable moments within our community.” 

With a prime location in Kuala Lumpur’s bustling central business district and close to some of the city’s best tourist attractions, Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur offers both leisure and business travellers a way to discover new, off-the-track spaces nestled in the surrounding neighbourhood such as KL Eko-Rimba Park, The Zhongshan Building and The Row — a collection of boutique cafés and retail spaces featuring local Malaysian brands. An amalgamation of new and old, the timeless legacy of Kuala Lumpur’s colourful history is also seen in the mindful designs of the hotel's interiors.

From the first step into the hotel’s lobby, guests are immediately greeted with a locally-infused design, seen in the bright pops of colour that sit alongside industrial elements that pay homage to the city’s tin-mining history. This is seen in the collaboration between Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur and local Malaysian graffiti artist Jefr, bringing a daring edge and unconventional charm to the communal spaces in the hotel through bright pops of colour and abstract images that embody the abundant creativity that flow through Kuala Lumpur. 

The rooftop bar offers dinners a bird's eye view of the city scape.

Designed by Silverfox Studios, the hotel’s blend of modern and traditional influences is also seen in each of the hotel’s 312 rooms. Inspired by the city’s industrial heritage — the rooms feature clean, bold lines that outline the spacious areas and warm colors bathe each room in inviting tones. Time spent in the rooms is meant to encourage guests to not only learn more about the history of Kuala Lumpur but also inspire them to see these elements echoed in the different areas of the city.

The centrally located hotel has also brought together the melting pot of cultures seen in Kuala Lumpur’s communities in its three distinct dining experiences led by executive chef Vincenzo Carbone as well as food and beverage operations director Davide Brescianini.

“We wanted to show the similarities between Italian and Malaysian cultures and how we have reimagined this beautiful relationship between our countries in our three dining establishments, whether through authentic flavours or innovative expressions,” said Carbone “In both Malaysia and Italy, we enjoy punchy flavours, fresh ingredients and, most importantly, sharing good conversation over great meals — that’s what we are bringing to the table.”
