W Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur


Fuchsia pink, acid yellow and green and silvery accents feature in the colour palette of the swanky rooms at the hip W property which opened in 2018, ensuring a stay here is anything but dull. Facilities include a spa, a couple of restaurants and a pool-side bar. Room rates, however, are way steeper than similar properties in the area.
