The "Once You Come to City A in the Book, You Won't Want to Leave" Series

Recently, my husband and I went to Kuala Lumpur and stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where we were full of pleasant surprises 😘 After being upgraded to a tower view room, we discovered a whole new world! The Petronas Twin Towers were right outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Waking up in the morning to sunlight and the iconic landmark, and watching the city lights come on at dusk, every photo felt like a magazine cover. The room was much bigger than expected, and the Balmain toiletries gave off a luxurious fragrance, with every detail exuding refinement.

The check-in process was super hassle-free. We took the elevator from the first floor straight to the 39th-floor lobby, then switched to the guest room’s private elevator, ensuring complete privacy throughout. The biggest surprise was the breakfast! Not only did they have freshly made dim sum, with shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and BBQ pork buns all perfectly prepared, it was exactly to our taste! There was also the Malaysian specialty, teh tarik, with a rich milky aroma blended with tea fragrance—one sip and you’re hooked! The restaurant had a direct view of the Twin Towers, so we enjoyed the scenery while eating, making the experience absolutely amazing!

For dinner, we chose the hotel’s Dinner at Jpteres to try authentic Malaysian cuisine, and every dish was full of surprises! The perfect blend of spices and ingredients created a burst of sour, spicy, and fresh flavors on the tongue. Whether it was the classic curry or the signature satay grilled meat, each bite was unforgettable, and we completely fell in love with Malaysian flavors!

The hotel’s location was also excellent and super convenient for getting around! It was very close to durian spots nearby; just a few minutes’ walk to several durian shops, making durian freedom a reality, not a dream. It was also very easy to get to Merdeka Square, where you can feel the blend of history and modernity and take atmospheric travel photos.

The most healing experience of the day was the evening spa arranged by the hotel! After a full day of activities, the warm essential oil massage relieved all fatigue. The therapist’s technique was professional and gentle, and with soothing aromas and soft music, I completely relaxed. My husband even praised, “After the massage, walking feels so much lighter!” He also said next time he wants to bring our son to Kuala Lumpur and stay here too, haha 😂
