Kuala Lumpur is a splendid blend of cultures, languages, styles and fashions, and this stunning city will impress the savviest of travelers. There are so many things to see and do in the city, and there are many choices for visitors of all ages. Our hotels offer a special haven, where you can return at the end of the day and reflect on your experiences in comfort.
After another good night’s sleep, and a fantastic meal prepared by world-class chefs, you will be ready for more adventure. In Kuala Lumpur, there is a wide range of activities that can fill your days with magic that is uniquely Malaysia. There is excellent shopping here, with a stunning array of malls, that will put you in touch with the latest fashions and designs. There are also excellent sight-seeing tours, and the hotel staff can help make recommendations to suit your time-frame and budget. For those travelers on an extremely limited time-frame, there was the excellent 59 Second Video Festival hosted at the local Galeri Petronas.
This festival, featuring dozens of films from all over the world, with heavy representation by the UK and the US, tours many cities on the international art circuit, and is a fantastic way to catch some of the great contemporary trends in video art. It is by no means all that Galeri Petronas has to offer, but is a fine way of introducing their agenda to international visitors. Located at the base of one of KL’s most distinctive features, Galeri Petronas is an extremely flexible space that can host exhibitions, performances, lectures, and of course film festivals. It features art from all over the world, but specializes in local work, and has some excellent programs that reach out to the community at large.
