KL, as those of us who know it affectionately call it, is the throbbing heart of Malaysia. It is home to the Petronas Towers, the world’s tallest twin tower building. KL’s hotels are superb and the street culture is unique, with a tantalising blend of Malay, Chinese and Western influences. To us, It’s like a perfectly blended whisky: rich, sensual and rapidly intoxicating.
For such a memorable destination, KL has sprung from very humble beginnings. Kuala Lumpur literally means ‘muddy confluence’ because the city is set at the point where two tropical rivers meet.
