Hit the reset button at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre
A renaissance of style and spirit.
Buckle up, folks. Having undergone a two-year renovation, Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre is back, and it's got a brand-new, spanking-new look that redefines urban luxury. Part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of 31 extraordinary hotel brands and the first dual-branded property under the group in Malaysia (it shares an address with the Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, City Centre next door), the urban resort is located strategically at the corner of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang, buzzing with energy as infectious as the city itself. When we checked into the hotel, we knew right off the bat we were in for a treat.
First up, the rooms. Perfect for both business and leisure, the 406 redesigned guest rooms are not only for a good night’s sleep. In town for a quick work trip? The touch of homegrown elements allows you to have a neighbourhood-inspired experience. Planning a family staycation? The themed family suites that are decked out with vibrant themes and packed with amenities are the perfect crash pad for both kids and parents.
Speaking of the facilities, the hotel doesn’t just invite you to stay; it dares you to play. The outdoor pool is one of the largest in the city, decked with water slides and a wet play area that had us acting like kids in a candy store. Stretches over 1,207 square meters, there’s also the Paradise Trails adventure zone that is designed to thrill. Plus, there's a fitness centre that is open round the clock and a Mandara Spa that’s all about zen vibes and rejuvenation. Whatever your speed, they’ve got you covered.
Hungry? All three Halal-certified restaurants at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre is a culinary leap around the globe. The Evolution restaurant throws down some serious Amalfi Coast flavours, all in an open-kitchen setup that’s as entertaining as it is mouth-watering. The R Bar cranks up the night with its Bar Ritual, featuring local jams and sips that’ll have you grooving ‘til late. And for a more laid-back scene, the H2O Bar & Grill serves up Mediterranean magic under the stars. Each spot has its own story, and every tale is worth tucking into.
Integrated with the hotel is the all-new convention centre that’s definitely worth a mention. Spanning over 52,000 square feet, the space houses a 1,800-seater pillarless ballroom, 26 function rooms and four lounges that can cater to all your event needs. Whether it’s a business conference, an extravagant wedding or anything in between, the one-step centre is a place to consider.
“We’re setting the stage for a new sense of discovery that appeals to all guests to discover the unexpected in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, and curate memorable stays through our design-led spaces, and excellent food and beverage experiences,” says Bidan Kapur, Complex General Manager of Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre and Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, City Centre.
So, if you’re hunting for a spot that hits high on both comfort and cool, where every detail is dialled in to dial up your experience, you know where to make your next stop.
