An icon in glamurous Malaysian hospitality...
Once a place where sophisticated soirees went into the wee hours of the night; where government officials rested their heads; and where respected international travelers hung their hats, The Majestic Hotel has become quite the prominent figure in Malaysia since its construction in 1932. Throughout the years, it has undergone renovations and additions, but still retains all of its former colonial glory.
Located in a prime spot on the historical mile of Kuala Lumpur and a half hour by train to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the five-story Malaysia luxury hotel is close to some of the city's most popular attractions and museums. The 176 rooms and 112 suites are spread out between the original building’s Majestic Wing, and the more recent addition, the Tower Wing.
The detailing in The Majestic Tower certainly reflects the hotel's art deco style in timber floors under tufted carpets and bathrooms lined with black and white checkered tile with claw-footed bathtubs and rain showers. The Colonial Suite and Governor Suite are outfitted with modern furnishings in a homey setting and offer separate living areas and views of the city.
With over 1,000 square feet of space, the Majestic Suite offers even more opulence during your stay. But, if the lack of Majestic paraphernalia at first turns you against your chosen accommodations, keep in mind that all of the suites in the Majestic Wing are complete with butler service, so you really have nothing to complain about; and if you do, someone is available to listen.
The Tower Wing is attached to the Majestic Wing by a glass, air-conditioned walkway, in case the Malaysian heat gets too intense for the short journey. Generally similar in décor and amenities to its neighboring wing, the Tower Wing lacks one important detail: a butler. However, the views of Kuala Lumpur's skyline, its heritage sites or the hotel's gardens may make up for the luxury services that are missing.
