Sleep in the former National Art Gallery!

Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur is indeed a glorious concoction of history, elegance, and modern luxury. Opened in 1932, the hotel was soon a gathering place for high society-writers, dignitaries, and film stars. The hotel's hall has gained historical importance over time because of the world war when this was used as a transit camp by Japanese nationals. After independence in 1957, it was the venue of powerful political parleys but ultimately closed down in 1984 and converted into the National Art Gallery. After extensive renovation by YTL Hotels, Majestic reopened in 2012 as a heritage hotel, preserving the flavor of colonialism while adding modern comforts.

The most famed hotel throughout its years has had halls that hosted top celebrities and dignitaries from across the globe; the hall is characterized by its colonial architecture-an incredible setting for luxurious accommodation. One of its wonders would be the Orchid Conservatory, an elegant glass room alive with exotic blooms, and the Majestic Spa for treatments inspired by Malay traditions.

Dining within Majestic is a highlight. Bright little Colonial Cafe, bringing the glamour of the 1920s with live jazz, or the modern Contango Restaurant, with its expansive international buffet, all offer guests a taste of something different. Majestic is also renowned for its afternoon tea served in the Tea Lounge that evokes ageless elegance.

Kuala Lumpur's cultural hotspots include the National Museum and Islamic Arts Museum, and the hotel provisions also cover shuttles to KL Sentral for further travel. The hotel sees all whether at infinity pools or staying in the age-long historical narratives. The Majestic Hotel promises to make your experience memorable.
