Hyatt Centric Comes to Kuala Lumpur. Here’s All You Need To Know

The newest community-centric hotel in town.
@21 rooftop bar

Checking into a 5-star hotel can sometimes feel a little stuffy—you want the luxury experience without all the stiffness. If that sounds like you, it’s time to visit the newly opened Hyatt Centric Kuala Lumpur, a community-centric luxury hotel. It’s designed to put guests right in the heart of the city, with social spaces to connect with others.

Our guests can think of us as their ‘kawan,’ or local bestie, with a passion here to connect guests with authentic experiences, helping them explore beyond the typical tourist trails and create shareable moments within our community.

Nestled in the heart of KL’s bustling business district, Hyatt Centric Kuala Lumpur is surrounded by the best gems of the neighbourhood. The hotel is a short stroll from KL Eko-Rimba Park, The Zhongshan Building, and The Row—a collection of boutique cafés and shops featuring local brands. Plus, landmarks like Twin Towers and KL Tower are just a stone’s throw away.

The moment you walk into the hotel’s lobby, you’ll feel the local flair. Bright pops of colour mixed with industrial elements give a nod to the city’s tin-mining roots. The hotel worked with local Malaysian graffiti artist, Jefr. His art mixes modern graffiti with traditional Malaysian influences—it’s a tribute to KL’s dynamic culture, where art and history collide.

The hotel has 312 rooms, each designed with modern luxury and touches of local history. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring or getting ready for a busy day ahead, you’ll feel right at home. On the rooftop, guests will find an infinity saltwater pool that offers a stunning view of the city skyline. And for those who like to stay active, there’s a 24-hour fitness centre to keep your routine on track.

Dining area

If guests aren’t up for going out after a long day of travel, don’t worry—the hotel has three dining spots. There’s the authentic trattoria, IL Forno, serving up handmade pizzas and pasta, TanBuri, offering world-inspired don-style bowls, and @21, a rooftop bar where guests can enjoy craft cocktails and delicious quesadillas. 

Hyatt Centric Kuala Lumpur has officially opened its doors to the public since December 18th, 2024.
