Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, marking the return of the Hyatt Regency brand to Malaysia’s capital. This new property is the seventh Hyatt hotel in Kuala Lumpur, further expanding the company’s presence in key global markets.

A Landmark Location

Ideally situated in the vibrant KL Midtown neighborhood, the hotel offers unmatched access to Kuala Lumpur’s business district, cultural landmarks, shopping, and entertainment. Guests are just a short walk from the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) – the country’s largest and most advanced venue – making the hotel a prime choice for business travelers, event planners, and leisure guests alike.

Inspired by Kengo Kuma

Designed by acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the property embodies a harmonious blend of nature, Japanese heritage, and contemporary sophistication. Using natural materials such as wood, stone, and paper, Kuma’s vision creates a serene yet dynamic atmosphere, fusing cultural depth with modern comfort.

“We are delighted to introduce Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown—a hotel that redefines urban hospitality through exceptional design, thoughtful amenities, and an unparalleled location,” said Till Martin, General Manager. “With Kengo Kuma’s inspiring architecture and our commitment to curated guest experiences, we aim to create a dynamic hub for global events while elevating the city’s position as a premier business, lifestyle, and tourism destination.”

Accommodations: Upscale Comfort Meets Neighborhood Charm

The hotel features 410 accommodations, including 306 guestrooms and suites as well as 104 fully serviced residences. Options range from King and Twin Rooms to Regency Club Rooms, Diplomatic Suites, and the exclusive Presidential Suite. Guests in Regency Club rooms enjoy access to the Regency Club Lounge with daily breakfast, refreshments, and evening cocktails.

The serviced residences offer private entrances, dedicated lobbies, and one- or two-bedroom apartments complete with kitchenettes, dining, and living areas—ideal for extended stays or family visits.
