A Haven Within The City
By Hiranmayii Awli Mohanan
Sunway Putra Hotel, nestled in the nexus of Kuala Lumpur’s Diamond Triangle is an elegant, 5-star hotel complete with palatial touches and the quiet luxury of 21st-century interiors. Its ideal locale is a pigeon’s hop away from the Sunway Putra Mall, World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, trendy cafés and bars, bustling markets and landmarks; a melting pot of Asian cultures and traditions. Understanding that most Malaysians seek respite during this unprecedented times, the hotel offers exciting online deals to allure a staycation within the city.
The theme of understated luxury continues in their 650 rooms, decorated in soothing greys and mauves, paired with the modern conveniences for the savvy traveller such as complimentary WiFi, work desk and LED TV, among the many amenities. The Deluxe King Room, in which we stayed in is a spacious bolthole for couples or a family of three. The king-sized bed at the heart of the room commands attention, alluring you to jump in and feel the soft embrace of the duvet — comforting, spoiling and relaxing all at once.
To fully relish the comfort of the room, in-room dining completes the experience, promising solace and scrumptiousness with every dish. Familiar delights like the Char Kuey Teow and Chicken Burger hit all the right spots and are served in specially packed, single-use container swith sanitised cutlery and delivered to guest rooms, ensuring full compliance with hygiene and safety protocols.

When you finally muster up the will to leave your homey room, The Coffee House and Atrium Lounge beckon, the former offering a sumptuous array of authentic Malaysian and Western specialities prepared with the finest local ingredients by the skillfull culinary team. The latter, on the other hand, is the perfect venue for pre-dinner drinks, casual meetings or a relaxing nightcap.
After eating your fill, saunter through the shopping haven next door and treat yourself to some retail therapy or dessert. Alternatively, rediscover the city onboard the KL Hop-On Hop-Off — an open deck double decker tour bus. The KL Hop-On Hop-Off provides a comprehensive city tour with 27 designated stops, along over 60 major sites, landmarks and attractions; with live on-board commentary. After a good night’s sleep, a morning dip overlooking KLCC and the city skyline or working up a sweat at the gym is a wonderful way to start the day. Advanced booking is required for both these facilities in order to limit usage and adhere to the hotel’s Stay Safe protocols.
