Ritz Carlton – Kuala Lumpur
新年快乐! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
As we welcome the Year of the Goat, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to all my Chinese readers and friends. May this Lunar New Year bring you prosperity, happiness, and success.
This year, we celebrated Lunar New Year out of town, discovering an iconic yet somewhat hidden gem—The Ritz Carlton, Kuala Lumpur. Although it has been a part of the city for almost 15 years, many of us had no idea that this luxurious haven sits right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle District.
Location & Accessibility
Selamat Datang ke Ritz Carlton, Kuala Lumpur! Located at the intersection of Jalan Imbi and Jalan Yap Tai Chi, this 5-star hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the famous shopping malls Pavilion and Starhill Gallery. Its prime location ensures that guests are close to everything they need, whether it’s shopping, dining, or business.
Luxurious Accommodations
The Ritz Carlton boasts 365 guest rooms, including 30 one-bedroom suites, providing a variety of choices for guests. Each room offers superb views, no matter which direction you're facing. Should you not be satisfied with the view, a room switch can easily be arranged (whenever possible) to ensure the best experience.
The smallest guest rooms start at 40 sqm, with the largest suites stretching up to 250 sqm, ensuring that space is never an issue. Some suites even span across three floors—ideal for A-listers and those seeking an exclusive stay. I had the opportunity to preview the Ritz Carlton Suite (a one-bedroom duplex suite) and the Triplex Penthouse (a five-bedroom suite with its own pool and home amenities), and let me tell you—it was nothing short of spectacular!
Room Amenities & Butler Service
Every guest room is thoughtfully designed with expansive windows, flooding the room with natural light. The 400-thread count linens ensure a comfortable stay, while the bathrooms come complete with exclusive Asprey bath amenities and a deep soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The hotel even offers a Bath Butler & Bath Menu service to enhance your relaxation.
One of the standout features of the Ritz Carlton experience is the dedicated butler service. Upon arrival, your personal butler will guide you through the hotel’s facilities and services, ensuring that all your needs are met. From 24-hour in-room dining to arranging travel plans and catering to any special requests, the butler service is unparalleled.
Dining Options
Foodies, rejoice! The Ritz Carlton offers a range of dining experiences. At César’s, you can enjoy a luxury breakfast featuring global flavors, while the award-winning Li-Yen Chinese Restaurant serves delicious dim sum for lunch and authentic Cantonese cuisine for dinner in an intimate, oriental setting.
For something lighter, Carlton Gourmet provides a cozy bistro atmosphere, perfect for business lunches or a casual bite. And no stay at the Ritz would be complete without a traditional afternoon tea session at the Lobby Lounge, accompanied by live evening entertainment.
Recreation & Spa
A stay at the Ritz Carlton, Kuala Lumpur wouldn’t be complete without indulging in some relaxation. The hotel’s 24-hour health club is fully equipped with cardio and strength training equipment, as well as a sauna, steam room, indoor Jacuzzi, and swimming pool. For those in need of some serious pampering, the Spa Village offers a variety of spa treatments, a second pool, and whirlpool—reserved for guests over the age of 18, making it a tranquil escape.
Final Thoughts
Our stay at the Ritz Carlton, Kuala Lumpur was nothing short of fabulous, and I’d like to give a special shout-out to Natasya for making the experience even more comfortable. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this luxurious hotel in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is worth checking out.
