Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 466 rooms mix warm oak shelving, geometric burgundy headboards, and deep-green tiled bathrooms with brass oval mirrors, sharper in design than most new openings in the area.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Exchange TRX mall and its ten-acre park sit right outside, with Bukit Bintang a short ride away.

The rooms
Fluted woodwork nods to rubber tapping, paired with soaking tubs, ARgENTUM bath amenities, and minibars stocked with pandan granola.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25-metre infinity pool stretches across the rooftop deck, beside a jet-stream jacuzzi looking toward Merdeka 118.
The gym
The rooftop gym houses self-powered treadmills behind floor-to-ceiling windows, opening onto an outdoor terrace with TRX suspension gear.
Restaurant
Tuai + Till
Heritage Malaysian recipes share the menu with brasserie classics, set behind timber screens shaped like traditional mooncake moulds.
At the table
Rise & Grind pulls espresso from homegrown Liberica beans, and the curved marble bar serves snacks and evening drinks.
How it began
The name unites the Malay words naluri and ria, translating directly to instinct and joy.
