Unwinding in Style at Renaissance Johor Bahru

#malaysiatrip
Perched in the vibrant Bandar Baru Permas Jaya district, Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel is a 5-star haven that blends luxury with local charm. Part of Marriott’s Lifestyle Collection, this 345-room retreat sits just 10 minutes from Singapore and 30 from Senai International Airport. Known for its sleek design and prime location near Johor Bahru’s city center, it’s a gateway to attractions like Legoland Malaysia and The Mall Mid Valley Southkey. With a sparkling pool, top-notch dining, and elegant event spaces, it’s a standout choice for travelers craving comfort and culture.

My stay at Renaissance Johor Bahru was a delightful escape! Walking into the grand lobby, I was struck by its modern elegance—think towering ceilings and a chic centerpiece that screams sophistication. My room was a dream: plush bedding, a sleek bathroom with a rainfall shower, and a flat-screen TV perfect for unwinding. The little touches, like the electric kettle and luxe bathrobes, made it feel so indulgent. I couldn’t resist the view—overlooking the city, it was a treat at sunset.
The location’s a winner. Just a quick drive from Singapore, it’s ideal for a cross-border hop. I explored nearby KSL City Mall and savored hawker eats at Plaza Pelangi, all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the outdoor pool was my happy place—refreshing and serene, with a skyline backdrop. The 24-hour gym was a bonus, though I’m still buzzing for the sauna I hear they’ve added recently.
Food-wise, it’s a feast! Café BLD’s international buffet had me piling my plate with everything from local nasi lemak to fresh pastries. Wan Li Restaurant dished out Cantonese classics—dim sum so good I went back twice. RBar’s cocktails were a perfect nightcap, served with a side of chill vibes. The staff? Absolute stars—friendly, quick, and full of local tips.
What I loved most was the balance—luxury that doesn’t feel stuffy, paired with Johor’s lively spirit. My only wish? More time to soak it all in. Whether you’re here for business, a family trip, or just a getaway, Renaissance Johor Bahru nails it with style and soul.
