Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur is one of the most modern cities in South-East Asia and famous for its shopping and its food. It is easy to combine a visit to Kuala Lumpur with a stay on one of the Malaysian islands – or how about visiting two countries on Singapore and Malaysia Holidays? The Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur is ideal for both business trips and for a relaxed stay on Multi Centre Holidays Malaysia.
Many luxury hotels in Kuala Lumpur, including The Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur, are located in the Golden Triangle area. The Golden Triangle is also home to great shopping, entertainment and restaurants. The Bintang Walk is a famous walking street that offers great opportunities to sample Malaysia's delicious food. The Asia Heritage Row is another walking street with beautiful architecture and a range of restaurants and shops.
The Golden Triangle has several excellent shopping centres with a variety of boutiques selling designer fashion, gourmet foods, jewellery and cosmetics. Here you can also find the Petronas Twin Towers, one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city. The 88-story towers belong to the tallest buildings in the world. Inside the towers is the Suria KLCC shopping centre (one of the main shopping destinations in the city), restaurants and a concert hall. The 421-metre high Kuala Lumpur Tower nearby has an observation deck for stunning city views, a restaurant and a cocktail lounge.
The modern city centre also has pockets of colonial architecture. One of the most fascinating architectural wonders in Kuala Lumpur is the old Railway Station and the city is also home to many beautiful mosques. When visiting mosques, dress conservatively. The popular Chinatown area is more suited for shopping at local markets than the upscale shopping you can find in the many shopping centres.
The 5-star Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur is an excellent place to stay in the heart of Malaysia's capital. The Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur has seven restaurants, room service around the clock and several meeting rooms. Its luxurious guest rooms are divided between the West Wing that has a more classic look and the modern East Wing. The rooms come with cable TVs, minibars, bath tubs and showers, mini-fridges and room service. Using The Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur as your base you can easily explore the city's sights and indulge in some shopping.
Kuala Lumpur has dozens of modern air-conditioned shopping centres that provide relief from Malaysia's tropical heat. In the Golden Triangle is the famous Bukit Bintang, the main shopping area in Kuala Lumpur. Similar to the Orchard Road retail area in Singapore, Bukit Bintang covers several roads and contains shopping complexes, cinemas, restaurants and coffee shops. The restaurants and the street stalls sell local food, food from the neighbouring countries and Western cuisines including good Italian food. Bukit Bintang is a good place to head for an evening out.
