(NOTE: This is an overdue FREE review from our stay last year in December. Hotel facilities & services may have undergone changes since then.)
Yeay, finally an update for year 2021! Just as we thought that the movement control order will be around for much longer, finally Malaysia government has announced that inter-state travels are now allowed for fully-vaccinated citizens and I expect hotels will be busy taking on reservations by end of this year.
With the lift on travel bans, I expect most Malaysians are now busy planning their end of year vacation and KL will soon be bustling again. For fellow hotel fans both in KL as well as out-of-town guests looking for a five-star experience right in the heart of KL, you may want to consider Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur as your next stop. Much like its name, everything about Grand Hyatt reflects grandeur from the ultra-friendly reception to the luxurious guest room.
But what makes Grand Hyatt the best five-star hotel in KL is the 360-degree view of KL city it accords from the THIRTY8 restaurant located on the 38th floor, where guests not only get to feast their palate on sumptuous local and international delicacies, but also feast their eyes on the spectacular view of Malaysia's capital city and iconic landmarks.
As Grand Hyatt's website aptly state - It is the elegant curves, captivating views, the dramatic sense of space and vibrant cuisine that makes THIRTY8 the signature restaurant of the hotel and an ideal Kuala Lumpur restaurant for entertaining business associates, family and friends gathering and also special, celebrative occasions.

We were at Grand Hyatt KL in December 2020 when hotels were briefly allowed to open their doors. As usual, December hosts our very special day on the 15th, which is our wedding anniversary and our kids' birthdays. We decided to celebrate our special day by booking fine-dining experience at the Le Petit Chef show which is at Grand Hyatt, but since the show has a special package incorporating one-night stay and complementary breakfast for 2 adults we ended up booking a stay at Grand Hyatt KL too.
Arriving at Grand Hyatt lobby at ground floor, we were greeted warmly by the staff at the front desk. Perhaps due to the influx of guests having staycations at the hotel during school holiday, guests have the options to check-in at ground floor or the Sky Lobby at Level 39. What impressed me is the level of genuine hospitality by the staff to all the guests. From reception to restaurant staff to housekeeping, the staff were attentive to our needs and requests.
After checking in, we were directed to the elevator that took us to the Sky Lobby to switch elevator to our King Deluxe Room. Before checking in, we decided to sample Grand Hyatt's famous Afternoon Tea package:

| Thirty8 Afternoon Tea featured a classic 3-tier set of sweet and savoury selections complemented by freshly brewed coffee or tea of your choice |
After tea, we made our way down to our room floor. We booked ourselves a King Bed Room overlooking KLCC park.
Our 47sqm room featured white marble-tiled bathroom complete with a good size bathtub and rain shower, separate toilet cubicle, a very spacious walk-in cabinet / changing room, a vanity area and of course the luxuriously designed bedroom in warm tone that exudes comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
Grand Hyatt KL is also practicing environmental-friendly effort by providing drinking water in a jug instead of bottled water. With the amount of trash accumulated from plastic, this is certainly a commendable move by the hotel to be sustainable.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and felt the whole experience was worth the value. If you are planning to book a room here for a well-deserved staycation, do include breakfast at Thirty8 restaurant in your reservation because there is a wide choice of breakfast menu ranging from local favourites (their nasi lemak is authentic and highly recommended) to continental and many more. Plus, the experience of having breakfast while enjoying the sight of KL city is something that will never gets old.
Being a family-friendly hotel, Grand Hyatt also has something fun for kids which is their HYdeout by Grand Hyatt, a family-friendly themed buffet with fun activities for the children. Unfortunately we did not manage to check this out as it was not available during our stay.
