Share with your friends now!

If you are looking for a weekend staycation in the heart of the nation’s capital, Dorsett Kuala Lumpur is a solid choice. Situated just within walking distance from Bukit Bintang business district, this hotel offers unparalleled convenience without the premium price tag that usually comes in this affluent neighborhood.

A Welcoming Arrival

Upon arrival, the hotel lobby impresses us with its contemporary-chic vibe, with stylish ornaments softened by warm lighting. Check-in is a breeze thanks to the friendly front desk staff.

Dorsett Kuala Lumpur adds a whimsical touch by having a Dora bird figurine at the entrance of each guestroom. The bird beckons occupants to return to the room for a good night’s rest.

Our stay in the Deluxe Premier Room is a spacious retreat with a large bedroom and a separate sitting area. The Deluxe Premier Room offers a more relaxed feel compared to the standard Dorsett Room.

We love how the striped carpet complements the floral wallpaper, creating a serene and posh ambience. Warm lighting from table lamps add to the cozy atmosphere.

The window across the bed gives lovely views of the surrounding from high above. Next to the window is a three-seater couch sofa and a work desk.

Each guestroom in Dorsett Kuala Lumpur affords a different view depending on where the room is located. From certain vantage points, you may spot J-Hotel by Dorsett, another property under the Dorsett portfolio.

Equipped with Wi-Fi, the work desk is the ideal spot to catch up on work. Meanwhile, the television has many movie channels and provides hours of entertainment during our stay.

A capsule coffee machine dispenses espresso with a press of a button. A hot cup of joe is just what we need to start the morning on the right foot! If you prefer tea instead, there are also tea bags and an electric kettle.

In line with the hotel’s effort to eliminate single-use plastic, Dorsett Kuala Lumpur provides filtered drinking water in each guest room. Just turn on the tap and enjoy a cooling glass of water within seconds!

Our ensuite bathroom has a rainfall showerhead that dispenses warm and cool water. Bath products are supplied by ELEMIS, a reputable skincare and wellness brand from the UK.

More toiletries such as dental kit, shaver and comb are provided at the wash basin. As part of the hotel’s ESG initiative, the toothbrush is made of biodegradable cornstarch!

Other room amenities include bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer, clothes iron and in-room safe.

Notice the wooden cube with the hotel’s name engraved on it? In-room dining can be arranged by scanning a QR code on it. Please note that the wooden cube is not a souvenir and should not be removed from the room!

Interstellar Adventure

Dorsett Kuala Lumpur aims to be a family-friendly hotel. To this end, the hotel has a themed room called “Interstellar Adventure“. The Interstellar Adventure room is connected to a Deluxe Premier Room just like ours. The staycation package has a reasonable price tag of RM 798 per night (price valid until 31 December 2025).

The Interstellar Adventure room is a space-themed room decorated with planetary wallpaper, a spaceship-like tent and ambient lighting to mimic a starry night sky.

Kids will enjoy endless fun with jigsaw puzzles, coloring books and space-themed stationery. Meanwhile, parents can unwind in peace in the adjacent room.

The staycation package also covers breakfast for two adults and two children, two child admission tickets to Petrosains at KLCC (including one-way transportation) and fun-sized souvenirs for the little ones. As a bonus, children eat for free at Checkers Café when they dine with their parents.

Swimming Pool

Enjoy swimming in the free-form outdoor pool on Level 4. Open from 7:00am to 8:00pm, the swimming pool has different depths to accommodate all guests including children.

The pool’s cool water offers a refreshing escape from the hot tropical sun. The experience is particularly pleasant in the presence of light breeze.

If you prefer to keep your feet dry, relax on one of the sunloungers on the side. Light meals and beverages can be ordered through room service.

Next to the swimming pool is the Chef Garden, where small plants are grown to complement the hotel’s kitchens. Let your kids explore and get to know the herbs and spices here!

Gymnasium

Next to the swimming pool is a fitness center equipped with treadmills and weight machines.

Open from 6:00am to 9:00pm, the gym allows guests to maintain their fitness routine regardless of weather.

Shopping Shuttle

Dorsett Kuala Lumpur provides complimentary drinking water at the lobby for the convenience of guests. Sip a cup of detox water before heading outside!

To encourage guests to explore the city, Dorsett Kuala Lumpur provides complimentary one-way shuttle service to popular tourist attractions and shopping malls. Please reserve your seat in advance at the front desk.
