Giveaway: 3 Nights With Club Access and Premium View at One of My Favorite Hotels in Asia

by Gary Leff

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.

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.

  5. I’d love to stay at the KL Hyatt just so I can go out and eat all my faves: nasi lemak, teh tarik, white coffee, char kway teoh, and stingray!

  6. Why stay at the Grand Hyatt? Well, I’m sure there’s a barista who can make a great teh tarik with flair — I’d want to watch it be made and enjoy it! (I’m *so* addicted to teh tarik…)

  8. Planning to head to Mexico somewhere soon so an offer like the one for 7 Nights At Acanto Boutique Hotel In Playa Del Carmen, Mexico looks great… Nice site to add to places to check out offers….

  10. I would choose to stay at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Kuala Lumpur as an HQ for tasting all the fantastic dishes in the city.

  11. The ethic melting pot of Indian, Chinese and ethic Malay food can create the most amazing combinations.
    Just even thinking about the street food at Jalan Alor is making me hungry right now!

  12. I have been fortunate to enjoy Grand Hyatt hospitality throughout Asia and the Sub-Continent, but have not yet had the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality and facilities of the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur or the sights, sounds, and dining of Kuala Lumpur. I really would like an opportunity to see how the food in KL stands up against the food in other Asian cities.

  14. Of the current auctions, I’d love to stay at the Victoria Falls hotel in Zim again. Stayed there before, spectacular hotel.

  15. India is one of my favorite travel destinations in the world. I’ve been all over the country, from north to south and east to west, but for some unknown reason, I’ve never made it to Goa. It is a location I’ve wanted to go to ever since a fraternity brother of mine visited while on an around the world trip. Two nights at the Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa sounds like the perfect impetus to finally visit this very different, historical, and beautiful part of India.

  16. My favorite item up for auction at Luxury Travel Diary is “2 NIGHTS AT RENAISSANCE JOHOR BAHRU HOTEL, JOHOR, MALAYSIA”

    My auction item of choice would be the “3 NIGHTS FOR 4 PPL IN A LUXURY VILLA ON NAXOS ISLAND, GREECE.” We have some friends over there we could meet up with and I’m sure we’d get ourselves into a lot of fun adventures. Thanks for showing me the site!

  29. Hello Again!

    As for why I’d pick Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur…there are about 100 reasons! Most importantly, I’ve never been to Kuala Lumpur but it has always been on my dream list. The opportunity to stay at one of its finest hotels, complete with stunning views, top rated food, and club lounge access, would certainly get me on the next flight out there! Thanks for the opportunity!

  38. I would love to stay at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur as I currently live in Chiang Mai, Thailand for 9 months of the year and have been travelling throughout southeast Asia. I have yet to make it to Kuala Lumpur but would love to and be able to stay at this beautiful hotel. Thanks. Kris

    I’ve been wanting to get back to Napa, and even though this is 1 night, at an incredible price, it gives me a reason to bid and make some plans.
