Malaysia is a country with two distinct parts. Peninsula Malaysia constitutes the long fringe of land, extending down from Asia, which borders Thailand and Singapore.

It is the Peninsula that seems to attract the most visitors, probably because of the diversity it offers in the way of people, activities and climates. The highland regions offer cool relief from the clinging humidity of the mainland, while Langkawi is the popular choice for sand and surf enthusiasts. The east coast, particularly the northern Kelantan province, offers the chance for an interesting cultural exploration of traditional Malay life. The city of Kota Bharu and its surrounds is possibly the most fascinating part of the peninsula, and the least visited, with a remote beauty and rich culture. The west coast is favoured for historical interest, and is where Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur is to be found, the icon of Asian prosperity and the meeting point for expats and city slickers who enjoy the energy of urban life. The city is a powerful mesh of tradition and technology, vying for equal status.

As well as a plethora of beautiful beaches in Malaysia, the country also boasts a host of offshore tropical islands that are rated as some of the most beautiful in the world. Idyllic white sandy beaches, palm trees, clear waters and an underwater heaven for divers and snorkellers - these are the archetypal images of paradise that beckon and enchant thousands of visitors each year.

Voyage to the confluence of the Gombak and Klang rivers as these ancient waterways congregate in the heart of Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia’s capital and its largest, most vibrant city. The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur hotel redefines the art of the luxury boutique hotel experience in Asia.

The fresh style of The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur was influenced by a variety themes reflecting Malaysia's diverse artistry of ethnic cultures. The dark toned woods with angular designs reflect masculinity while details like brass inlays add a touch of elegance. Rich earthy tones in the new carpet and wall coverings are used to create a cozy, warm 'home-away-from-home' ambience, while hidden modern technologies add a modern yet subtle flair. With similar interior decor in each of its 114 elegant two and three bedroom suites, the all suite wing of the hotel achieves the perfect balance of style and comfort.
