During our summer trip to Asia, we made a pit stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Coming from Hawaii, many flights to Asia requires a stop-over in Kuala Lumpur if you’re flying with Air Asia. We decided to stay for a few days and explore the city. While in Kuala Lumpur, we stayed 500 meters away from Petronas Twin Towers at Hotel Maya.

The location of this boutique hotel is in the heart of the city which is great for business travelers. Being that it’s close to a lot of the attractions, all you need is a couple of days to see the area. There are restaurants and shopping within minutes from the hotel. It’s easy to get around using a rideshare app called Grab!

STUDIO ROOM

Hotel Maya offers studios, junior suites, and deluxe suites. We stayed at a studio during our stay which is approximately 34 sqm. All hotel rooms are equipped with:

-Broadband Internet access and WiFi
-40 inch Flat Screen TV with DVD player
-Electronic locks and security systems
-Premium capsule coffee-maker
-Separate bath and rain shower
-In-room safe deposit box
-Air Sterilizer
-Iron and iron board
-Hair dryer

DINING & LOUNGE

There are three dining areas located on the property: Ramah Tamah, Still Waters, and Maya Brasserie. The all-day dining at the hotel is at Maya Brasserie where buffet breakfast is served. Also, we were able to dine at Still Water during our stay – great food with a mix of cuisine.

We had access to the Sky Lounge which is a place to get drinks and a view of the city. There used to be a view of the Petronas Twin Towers but have recently been blocked by W hotel within 2018.

AMENITIES

Hotel Maya has a hydrotherapy pool, fitness area, and spa. The spa offers massages, bath and body treatments, foot therapy, and much more. When making a spa appointment, be sure to specify if you want a female or male therapist.

Hotel Maya is a convenient stop if you are staying in Kuala Lumpur for the first time. Its location is a reasonable 10-minute walk to the Petronas Towers where food and shopping is the thing to do. AC at the Maya was always cool and welcoming. We stayed in the room all day making difficult to get up. It was incredibly comfortable!
