What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The city-center district of Bukit Nanas is the natural place for a boutique-style hotel like Hotel Indigo Kuala Lumpur on the Park — it’s positioned conveniently both for business travelers and for leisure guests, surprisingly green and walkably close to many of the city’s attractions.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
KL Forest Eco Park sits steps down the lane. The base of KL Tower is just minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Rooms have woven rattan headboards and Peranakan floor tiles. Selected rooms look directly out toward the KL Tower.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25th-floor infinity pool is styled as a rainforest glade, with bubble jets and loungers facing the city skyline.
Restaurant
Wok Star
Open display kitchens serve kampung-style fried rice and char-grilled satay beneath globe pendants and patterned tile floors.
At the table
The Silver Monkey serves gin infused with torch ginger and lemongrass at an illuminated, brass-shelved bar on Level 24.
How it began
An adaptive-reuse project doubled a former 13-storey office building in height, transforming the commercial block into a 26-storey hotel.
