Kuala Lumpur is a vibrant capital city and represents a modern Malaysia through its skyline of glittering skyscrapers, futuristic shopping malls and impressive transport systems. Although pieces of its colonial past remain, over the years, Kuala Lumpur has become home to a diverse mix of cultures, namely Malay, Chinese and Indian, which in turn have influenced the make up of the city. Kuala Lumpur hotels blend nicely into this framework, with a range of plush city centre establishments catering for a range of business and leisure travellers, and often with high class facilities to both luxuriate and work. A Kuala Lumpur holiday can best be enjoyed as part of a stopover to one of the many appealing islands Malaysia has to offer.
