Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur stands on Jalan Pinang in the heart of the city, next door to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and a short walk from the Golden Triangle shopping and entertainment district. It is a five-star address that suits business and leisure equally, with 411 rooms and suites and a Sky Lobby set high above the street. The Petronas Twin Towers fill the view from many windows, and if you book a room with Grand Club access, breakfast and evening cocktails come with it.

All 411 rooms and suites are generous by city standards, starting at 47 square metres with a spacious desk, a bathtub and rainfall shower, a minibar, and a bathroom cube of liquid crystal glass you can switch from clear to private. Deluxe rooms take a corner position at 65 square metres for a 180-degree panorama. Suites begin at 105 square metres with a separate living room and a round marble bathtub, rising to the Presidential Suite at 340 square metres.

Evenings here lean on the two projection dining shows, Le Petit Chef running ninety minutes of 3D mapping across the table, and The Magic Table hosted by the duo known as The Clairvoyants. The Grand Club Lounge on Level 37 pours evening cocktails with canapés from 17:30 and lays out an afternoon refresh earlier in the day. Children have the wading pool, and babysitting can be arranged through the front desk with advance notice.

The outdoor swimming pool on Level 2 is kept for those staying at the hotel, with a depth of 1.2 metres and a clear view of the Petronas Twin Towers. Beside it sits a wading pool of 0.45 metres for children, with complimentary children's amenities. ESSA Spa draws on ramuan, the traditional Malay preparation of herbal healing, for its treatments. The fitness centre stays open 24 hours with Technogym cardio and strength machines, relaxation areas, and personal trainers on request.

Dining moves from Malaysian street flavours to outright theatre. JPteres works satay grills, tandoor ovens and wok stations at the Ground Lobby, with indoor seating and an outdoor sports bar. THIRTY8 takes the thirty-eighth floor with show kitchens and a 360-degree city view. POOLHOUSE is a glasshouse with an al fresco terrace beside the pool. Le Petit Chef and The Magic Table turn dinner into 3D projection performance, and in-room dining is served daily.

Suria KLCC, with its shops, restaurants and the Petrosains discovery centre, is a walk away, and the KLCC - Bukit Bintang Walkway carries you on to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Aquaria KLCC sits below the mall behind a 90-metre transparent tunnel. Super Park KL is 0.63 kilometres from the door and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building 2.06 kilometres. Kuala Lumpur International Airport lies 60.5 kilometres away, KL Sentral 5.1, and the city's sunny climate makes the walking easy.
