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.
I would love to stay at GRAND HYATT KUALA LUMPUR. Why? It’s Hyatt!. The view, service and atmosphere are surely fantastic. I have stayed in many Hyatt properties, but not this one.
There are just some Hyatts which exceed all expectations….the Grand Hyatt KL is one of those! Whether on a stopover in SE Asia or making KL a destination, a stay at the Hyatt is the perfect choice for superb service, unparalleled views and delectable international cuisine. KL is a diverse, exciting and historically important and interesting city, one of my favorites!
My wife and I planning to travel to Kuala Lumpur in February 2018.
We have never stayed in a luxury hotel like this.
The auction I’m most interested in is the 2 Nights in a Beautiful Country House in Northern Portugal.
Next summer I have a trip planned to KL, nothing would make me happier than cancelling my Hilton reservation and moving to the Grand Hyatt!
I would like to stay at the Grand Hyatt in HL given its amazing views and high rating on trip advisor — not to mention Gary’s personal review!
Amazing view overlooking Petronas Tower and this Hyatt property looks great!
Prior comment should say KL, not HL!
The Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa would be nice! I may place a bid on that one!
I have never been to Malaysia (or Asia for that matter) and if I were to make a trip of it, best to go big right? I can’t believe how well reviewed the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is making it an obvious choice to stay at.
I would choose to stay at the “Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur” for its fantastic location and service – I have not been to the city before but this seems like a perfect base for me to explore the city from.

I haven’t been to KL but am planning a trip to the region in 2018. I’d love to enjoy the luxury at the Grand Hyatt!
Fez, Morocco as well as Marrakesh are high on my bucket lists, so that is my choice.
