Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s probably my favorite food city, from satay to prawn mee to amazing roti.
It’s an interesting city with good food — probably the most decadent breakfast buffets in the world — and some of the best deals on luxury accommodations.
My favorite place to stay there is the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. I first stayed there after it opened in 2012.
I’ve been back, and it’s only gotten better. It’s one of the top hotels in the city, has perhaps my favorite club lounge breakfast, and has fantastic views of the Petronas Towers.
It’s a TripAdvisor 2017 Travelers Choice award winner and the #3 ranked hotel in Kuala Lumpur. I’ve seen very few properties with reviews this good.
And I’m going to give away a 3 night weekend stay there, in an upgraded view room with club lounge access, thanks to Luxury Travel Diary.
This is a very special giveaway, thanks to my good friends at Luxury Travel Diary. Regular readers know them as a high-end travel blog with great reviews. They’re based in the UK and run travel auctions with real bargains.
As I’ve said before, folks who already know about these auctions don’t like this added attention, because there don’t seem to be enough bidders for many of their best offerings relative to the value available. Some of their items go way too cheap.
- Here are their auctions.
- And here are the auctions ending soon which are probably the best to check out right now – to get an idea of just how good a deal you’re likely to get.
- Check out 3 Nights At Belmond Grand Hotel Europe, St Petersburg, Russia, 1 Night At The Meritage Resort And Spa In Napa Valley, 2 Nights At The Colony Club Resort In Barbados — Nice places for a fraction of what you should be paying.
- Other hand-picked auctions to check out– 2 Nights Park At The 5 Star Hyatt Buenos Aires and two separate auctions of 3 nights in Jamaica for 8 people.
This prize is being given away by the hotel and Luxury Travel Diary, I’m just helping to highlight it and randomly select the winner.
Luxury Travel Diary wanted to highlight some of their deals, and offered to help organize a giveaway of a 3 night hotel stay at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
- 3 night weekend stay (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night) in a Club Twin Towers View Room that is inclusive of club benefits and access to our dedicated Grand Club Lounge which offers daily continental breakfast, all-day light refreshments as well as evening canapes and cocktails.
I’d add that the club lounge staff is fantastic here. And offerings are extensive both hot and cold (including from a made to order menu at breakfast).
This prize is being given away by the hotel and Luxury Travel Diary, I’m just helping to highlight it and randomly select the winner. The stay can be taken up through September 15, 2018 (so roughly a year’s validity on the prize).
To enter: leave a comment on this post with your favorite item up for auction at Luxury Travel Diary, or why you would choose to stay at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. You may enter two times if you wish and answer those two questions one time each in separate comments.
Contest deadline and drawing winner: Entries close Friday, October 6at Noon eastern. I will draw winner with the assistance of random.org.
The fine print: Advance booking is required and it’s subject to availability. Terms and conditions apply.
For avoidance of doubt, I have no affiliation with Luxury Travel Diary or Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. I am not getting anything in exchange for running this giveaway other than an opportunity to share the place with readers.
I will obtain the winner’s contact information to receive the 3 night weekend stay voucher. The hotel is solely responsible for providing prize to winner. All decisions made in the course of running this giveaway are final and unappealable and your entry signifies your acceptance. The goal here is to make readers aware of a pretty cool auction opportunity, and to give away a stay. So please don’t make it hard on me for doing so!
This is a great opportunity to venture into Malaysia (some fabulous beach resorts) or visit elsewhere in Southeast Asia — from Thailand to Vietnam or Indonesia.
We have stayed at other Grand Hyatt Hotels before and loved them. I am sure we would love to stay at the one in Kuala Lampur also. And the food sounds amazing.
Our favorites auction is the 3 Nights At Novotel Phuket Karon Beach Resort & Spa, Phuket. As this would be a short flight from our home in Korea, this would be a great getaway.
I visited KL several times and I love there. I’d like to stay at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur!
I would like to stay at the Grand Hyatt KL so that I can eat at Soo Kee, my favorite restaurant in the world.
Grand Hyatt KL features spectacular to die for views of the Petronas Twin Towers.
Even the GH building itself is a beautiful piece of architecture and I would love to spend 3 nights anytime
My favorite auction is the 2 Nights and Romantic Wine tour in a 2CV in Burgundy. I’ve always wanted to drive a Citroen 2CV,
Amazing views!
2 Nights & Romantic Wine Tour In A 2CV In Burgundy, France
The Pangea pods in Whistler caught my eye. Thanks for the contest!
I always liked the old Citroen cars, so my choice would be 2 Nights & Romantic Wine Tour In A 2CV In Burgundy, France
I would like to stay at the Grand Hyatt KL so that I enjoy the fantastic facilities there as well as the Club Lounge
4 nights at Crown Lanta Resort & Spa in Koh Lanta, Thailand!
Love the Grand Hyatt KL for the splendor of its interior!
The 2-Night Safari Stay At Cottar’s 1920’S Safari Camp In Kenya would be my pick. Having just done safari in South Africa, I’d love to experience Kenya and see the Masai Mara people as well.
Grand Hyatts always offer top notch service and the one in KL looks like it would uphold that trend. Plus, amazing views!
I would love to stay at the Green Leaf Boutique Hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Looks like a wonderful base for visiting Angkor Wat.
The Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur looks amazing. I have been wanting to visit Malaysia again, the first time I was there I was unable to go to KL.
Would love to stay at KL Grand Hyatt, love KL. Thanks
Tried mostly the SPG properties in KL, so the Hyatt sounds nice!
I’d pick the Hyatt because I have status with Hyatt. 🙂
Of the auctions, I’d probably go for the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica – with Hyatt status, I’d expect it to be a posh stay, I’ve never been to Costa Rica, and it’s a sane trip.
We have stayed at a few Grand Hyatt’s such as in Kauai and were simply amazed at the service and beauty of the hotel. I’m sure the Kuala Lumpur is just as nice if not nicer just based on the description of this blog post and we would love to go.
The two nights in Burgundy, France is my choice. We live close to wine country in Napa so we would love to compare and contrast the two. Plus, I’d love to take my wife and enjoy some kid free time together.
Haven’t traveled extensively in SE Asia — Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur seems like it would be a great jumping off point — or finale! MD/TRW
I have to say, from LTR’s auctions…… the “5 Night Croatian Wilderness Escape At The Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch” seems like it would be a pretty unique experience!
Lots of good ideas in the LTR auctions space though…
MD/TRW
I’ like to stay because of the view and great breakfast!
I’ve stayed at the GH Kuala Lumpur and it’s great. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Thanks for hosting this auction, Gary. Heading to Kuala Lumpur for the first time, so this would be a wonderful introduction to both Hyatt hotels in Asia, and Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite cities to visit because it is very walkable.
I’d bid on 3 Night Retreat at the Blue Karma Resort Ubud in Bali, because I love Bali but never stayed in the Ubud area
