“Waldorf Astoria Kuala Lumpur is a fantastic addition to our suite of brands in this cosmopolitan city, and we look forward to further expanding our footprint as we welcome more guests with Hilton’s award-winning signature hospitality.”

The new Waldorf Astoria property is located within Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle and close to Bukit Bintang shopping and entertainment district.

The hotel is around an hour drive away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and a ten-minute drive away from KL Sentral station.

The hotel will have five restaurants including Waldorf Astoria brand’s signature lounge and bar Peacock Alley.

Other facilities include wellness centre and a 3,390m² meeting space, with a 1,845ft² ballroom, suitable for hosting various events and celebrations.

Hilton’s brand Waldorf Astoria currently has around 14 hotels open or under development in the Asia Pacific region.
