For the next hotel stay of my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, I spent a couple of nights at the 252-key Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, a hotel that has been on my radar since it opened in August 2025. Not only am I a huge fan of the Park Hyatt brand in general, but I love the fact that this is one of the highest up hotels in the world, as it takes up the top floors of the new Merdeka 118 skyscraper.
Anyway, I had an absolutely incredible stay at the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, and can’t recommend it enough, from the design, to the service, to the rooms, to the restaurants and amenities, to the view. The icing on the cake is that Kuala Lumpur is such an affordable hotel market, so a true luxury property will cost you a fraction as much as it would in other places. I already can’t wait to return to this hotel!
If you’re looking to redeem World of Hyatt points, the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is a Category 5 World of Hyatt property, which is Hyatt’s fourth highest category of hotels. For my nights, the cost would’ve been 20,000 points per night. For what it’s worth, I value World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents each, so in this case I thought paying cash was the better deal (when factoring in points earning, the $100 property credit, etc.).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
