Written by Emily Jacobs
No matter if you’re passing through or are making the Malaysian capital your one-and-only destination, this mega-resort has everything you could want – and need.
For a Kuala Lumpur stopover, there’s no better place to rest and relax than Sunway Resort Hotel. With gourmet dining, world-class medi spa and award-winning family-friendly facilities, it has everything you need for a sensational short stay (or longer).
Read on to find out what makes this hotel the perfect Kuala Lumpur stay.
1. It’s located within a green eco-township
Sunway Resort Hotel is located within the 324-hectare Sunway City Kuala Lumpur (SCKL). This once tin-mining wasteland has been transformed into a sustainable township-within-a-city, with 30,000 trees and 150 species of flora and fauna now calling the area home. It’s self-sustaining, with solar panels fitted to generate clean energy, and has an ambitious target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. As the first green-integrated township recognised by Malaysia’s Green Building Index, and the nation’s first smart sustainable low-carbon city by Malaysia’s Ministry of Environment and Water, a stay here offers a conscientious and cutting-edge experience.
2. The hotel houses a Gordon Ramsay restaurant
There’s no second-best at Sunway Resort Hotel as it is home to the first iteration of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill outside the UK, as well as Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza. At Bar & Grill, enjoy prime cuts of meat dry-aged in-house, or stop by for the quintessential British experience of a Sunday roast or afternoon tea. The hotel’s culinary delights don’t end there: there’s five dining venues total, including New York’s Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, Sunset Terrace and Linkway Cafe.
3. You can get anywhere in the city within 15 minutes
While the hotel itself can entertain you plenty, getting out and about couldn’t be easier. Find yourself seamlessly connected to the city’s key landmarks through elevated canopy walks, a free shuttle service and the country’s first elevated Bus Rapid Transit system. The latter links the commuter rail service and the light rail transit line, connecting you directly to downtown Kuala Lumpur and, more importantly, the airport.
4. It’s fun for the whole family
Family fun and five-star luxury go hand-in-hand at Sunway Resort Hotel, with plenty to keep both little and big kids entertained. The Family Terrace, Waterventure Terrace and Family Fun Suite are designed for families, with two queen beds and each room having its own unique offering for a fun and quality family holiday. Guests of these room categories have access to both the Wonderland Explorers’ Kids Club and Premium Leisure Lounge. As kids explore the Club’s technology rooms, quiet corners and rooftop farm, parents can relax upstairs in the Lounge with complimentary afternoon tea, evening cocktails and canapes. Onsite, Waterventure splash park features a water playground and shallow pools, while Sunway Lagoon provides the ultimate theme park experience in Malaysia.
5. Its wellness centre is one of Malaysia’s leading medi spas
Reset and recharge after your flight onsite at Sunway MediSpa, one of Kuala Lumpur’s leading medi spas. Science-led treatments, including cutting-edge non-invasive stem cell regeneration therapy, are combined with timeless wellness practices like breathwork, body wraps, massages and more to offer a rejuvenating experience of holistic wellbeing. With verdant views of the resort’s grounds through floor-to-ceiling windows of treatment rooms, this luxurious day spa is the perfect antidote to hours spent in the air.
6. Accommodation ranges from rooms to pool villas
Whether you’re planning a quick stopover or plan to linger longer, Sunway Resort Hotel has an accommodation option for all. Deluxe and Grand Deluxe rooms include dream-like bedding, walk-in chromotherapy showers and elegant interiors, while the Family Terrace, Waterventure Terrace and Family Fun Suite have everything intrepid families may need. Fitness fanatics can stay at the top of their game in the Wellness Suite with in-room gym equipment and live personal fitness coaching, while business travellers can keep connected in the Business Suite. For true luxury, book yourself in a private pool villa at Sunway Resort Hotel, a collection of 17 pool villas perched around lush tropical garden.
