Straddling the Asian mainland and the island of Borneo, Malaysia is a wonderful jumble of multiculturalism, wildlife-rich jungles and vibrant cities.
Among Malaysia’s urban hotspots is its culturally diverse capital Kuala Lumpur (‘KL’ to locals), home to the iconic Petronas Towers, mammoth shopping malls and nightlife of the Golden Triangle. George Town, capital city of the island of Penang, is widely renowned as the food capital of Malaysia. Delicious street-food treats include grilled satay skewers, Chinese congee (rice porridge) and otak otak (steamed fish curry).
This part of Southeast Asia is ideal for picturesque wildlife wanders wand watersports. Some of the best scuba diving spots and powdery soft beaches can be found around the islands of the East Coast peninsular. You can also hike through some of the oldest rainforests in the world and take up whitewater rafting within one of the country’s many national parks.
Whether you’re looking to camp in Malaysia’s national parks or stay with the locals in a homestay, you’ll find accommodation to suit your needs. Main cities and beach resorts also offer a wide selection of hotels, hostels and guest houses.

Nestled in the very heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle and just steps away from the Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC, The RuMa means home in its literal sense.
Guest review
Location is excellent, the pool is clean and the bar by the pool has the best burger in KL. The rooms are big and spacious and equipped with whatever you need.
The staff are very helpful.
The lobby smells nice all the time, I wish they'd sell the perfume.

Housed in a Chinese courtyard-style mansion, The Blue Mansion offers boutique accommodation tastefully furnished with antique fittings.
Guest review
The hotel is a beautiful mix of history and modern facilities. The service is impeccable, and the staff are incredibly kind, accommodating, and attentive. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Once within the grounds of the hotel, you dont hear any of the hustle and bustle on the outside.it is a wonderful place to stay, enjoy, and slip away from the busyness of the city.
