The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur, a landmark in the vibrant Golden Triangle of Malaysia’s capital city, has re-opened with much more glitz and glamour, offering business travellers an enhanced urban retreat in the heart of the city.

“We are very pleased with the stunning transformation The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur, which had undergone more than a year of meticulous planning and refurbishment,” says Mahmoud Skaf, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur. “The travel industry is ever evolving and we strive to provide the highest level of personalized service and facilities in order to stay at the forefront of the traveller’s mind.”

With a legacy spanning 18 years, the new stylish 364-room all-butler hotel is designed by New York-based Alexandra Champalimaud and her team. The hotel’s guest rooms, public areas and facilities are refurbished to a modern design while retaining the hotel’s classical roots. Uncompromising quality and attention to detail underpin every aspect of the new design, from furnishing and fabrics, clever lighting, richly detailed screens, luxurious marble, to stylish accessories.

In addition to award-winning Cantonese restaurant Li Yen, The Cobalt Room, The Lobby Lounge and The Patisserie, The Library is a brand new space that features wood panelling and floors and a selection of vintage cognac, whisky, as well as fine wines from around the world. An array of refreshing cocktails is also available, including the Ritz Fizz – the hotel’s very own signature cocktail. Adjacent to The Library is The Smoke Room, which offers a choice of premium cigars for aficionados.

Enhancing the range of culinary experiences is the newly introduced service, Chef-on-Call, ideal for corporate or private events. This bespoke service provides guests with their own chef, butler and hostess, making any occasion all the more distinctive and special.

The hotel’s Spa Village Kuala Lumpur now boasts a brand new Sensory Sound Bath Room. The only of its kind in Asia, the new room complements the wide range of wellness facilities and therapies available at this multiple award-winning spa. www.ritzcarlton.com
