The hotel enjoys an ideal location in the vibrant heart of Dutamas and Mont Kiara. This coveted address among Kuala Lumpur’s most prestigious neighborhoods offers unmatched access to the city’s business district, iconic cultural landmarks and premier shopping and entertainment hubs.

Designed by world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the hotel embodies a harmonious fusion of nature, Japanese heritage and contemporary sophistication. Celebrated for his philosophy of lightness, transparency and sustainability, Kuma’s vision for Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown integrates natural materials such as wood, stone and paper, creating a serene yet dynamic atmosphere. His architectural brilliance ensures the hotel holds cultural depth while offering a modern, inviting retreat.

A Gastronomic Journey Awaits
Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown upholds Hyatt’s legacy of culinary excellence through thoughtfully crafted dining experiences across four distinct venues.
“Our culinary philosophy is rooted in two unwavering commitments: authenticity and responsibility,” said Jonas Juchli, Executive Chef. “We begin by deeply understanding Malaysian tastes while preserving time-honoured cooking methods. Every ingredient is sourced sustainably-from local farms to ethical fisheries. Leading this mission is our world-class culinary team of Peking Duck masters, sushi artisans versed in Edo-era traditions and pastry chefs who elevate heritage recipes. Together, we blend ancestral wisdom with modern precision to create dishes that are both genuine and innovative.”
Each of the hotels four dining venues deliver unforgettable culinary experiences. Midtown Brasserie serves exquisite meals throughout the day, while the sunlit Midtown Lounge elevates afternoon tea with artisanal patisserie and premium teas—all crafted to perfection by the hotel’s culinary team.
For discerning diners seeking authentic Chinese flavours, China House offers an immersive culinary experience where timeless traditions meet contemporary elegance, creating the ideal atmosphere to appreciate carefully crafted regional dishes. Led by three acclaimed chefs hailing from China’s culinary hubs, the menu celebrates Northern China’s robust flavours through iconic specialties like the signature wood-fired Peking Duck using Malaysia’s rambutan wood—with crackling golden skin and tender, flavourful meat. The menu presents a symphony of authentic creations, from artfully pleated dim sum and pristine seafood selections to indulgent traditional sweets.
ENSŌ Izakaya & Bar redefines Japanese dining through a meticulously curated, multi-sensory experience. From the moment guests enter, they are enveloped into an atmosphere where contemporary design harmonizes with traditional Japanese aesthetics. The main dining room showcases an impressive bar featuring one of Kuala Lumpur’s most extensive premium sake collections. Here, connoisseurs can pair exceptional Japanese whiskies and rare sakes with exquisite offerings like Chef’s selection of air-flown sashimi direct from Tokyo Toyoso Market, where artisanal sushi is crafted using authentic Edomae techniques. As evening progresses, ENSŌ transforms into a dynamic social destination. Expert mixologists craft innovative cocktails blending Japanese ingredients with modern flair, while resident DJ’s curated soundtrack elevates the energy. This seamless fusion of gastronomic excellence and vibrant nightlife creates unforgettable evenings where every sense is awakened.
