How to Find Hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    instruction

    Know Your Destination

  1. Step 1

    Understand the area's history. The influence of the British and its tin interests in Malaysia in the late 1800s had a major effect on the wealth and prosperity of Kuala Lumpur as well as the beautiful colonial architecture that abounds. Additionally, it is the only city in the world to have a million-year-old primary forest within the heart of the city.

  2. Step 2

    Bring light clothing. While Malaysia enjoys equatorial warmth and sun most of the year, the monsoon season is from April to September. At this time it is rainy and humid.

  3. Step 3

    Learn a little Malay. This is the country's official language, although English is widely spoken.

  4. Step 4

    Get used to new money. The official currency is the Malaysia Ringgit (RM).

  5. Choose Your Transportation

  6. Step 1

    Take the train from the airport. Kuala Lumpur is directly connected to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang via the inexpensive KLIA Ekspres high-speed train service, which takes about a half hour.

  7. Step 2

    Take a taxi from the train station. It takes approximately ten minutes from the station to most hotels.

  8. Step 3

    Use public transportation. The system is fairly efficient and comfortable. The light rail system is the cheapest and fastest way to get around the city.

  9. Select Accommodations

  10. Step 1

    To book accommodations, contact Kuala Lumpur Tourism Action Council at 011 (+603) 2617 6272 or visit their Web site (see Resources below).

  11. Step 2

    Find luxury hotels near the Lake Gardens.

  12. Step 3

    Center yourself in the midst of everything with a downtown hotel.

  13. Step 4

    Stay near public transportation. There are many good mid-price hotels near the bus station.

  14. Step 5

    Travel cheap. If you want to save money, stay at the ethnic hotels near Merdeka Square.

  15. Learn Local Information

  16. Step 1

    Make sure to see Lake Gardens. Various parks showcase butterflies, deer, Orchids and Hibiscus, as well as Southeast Asia's largest Bird Park, all in 920,000 square metres of beautifully tended garden.
