⁣1️⃣ The Kuala Lumpur Journal Hotel (@thekljournal) is a stylish, boutique hotel infused with hints of retro and modern designs in the city’s vibrant Bukit Bintang area. Viscerally inspired by praised artist, David Hockney’s work, the hotel’s 11th-story rooftop bar, @swimmingclubkl, withholds a tropical, mid-century design with a Malaysian touch; not to mention, the reflecting pool, pink walls, and hand-written neon signs make it the perfect place for an Instagram⁣ (📷: @daveedennis)

2️⃣ Alila Bangsar (@alilabangsar)—a soaring more-than-40-story, five-star hotel located in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Bangsar—has some of Kuala Lumpur’s best views of the Petronas Towers. Designed by Neri&Hu, Alia Bangsar’s sleek, dark façade provides a dramatic contrast to its tranquil white interiors, which are designed to feel like a zen-infused urban retreat within the busy city—especially the sun-gleaming courtyard & swimming pool⁣ (📷: @wholesomehobolife)
