Top tips for finding the perfect Malaysia hotel

  • If you’re not afraid of heights, your visit to Kuala Lumpur should include a trip to the Petronas Towers, currently the tallest twin towers globally. Walk on the sky bridge that connects the two towers and enjoy amazing views of the city below. You can also go to the 86th floor for a bird’s eye view of the city below. A great hotel to stay in to be close to the Petronas Towers and more attractions in Kuala Lumpur is Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

Go up the 272 recently repainted steps to the top of the temple and enjoy the beautiful view of the surroundings. The area is also famous for firefly watching, and booking a Batu Caves hotel is the beginning of a great trip to this area. Some good hotels you can stay at include Sky Hotel Selayang and New Wave hotel Batu Caves.

Penang is a must-see for most tourists visiting Malaysia because you will find beautiful murals of children making different poses on almost every street corner.
