KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 15): Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts will open Malaysia's first Banyan Tree resort in June in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, offering a modern city sanctuary with signature local experiences.

Occupying the top seven floors of Banyan Tree Signatures Pavilion Kuala Lumpur building, Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur features 55 rooms and suites, ranging from 51 sq m to 200 sq m in size, most of which overlook the Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Tower.

The resort's general manager, Anders Dimblad, said it is designed for travellers looking to immerse themselves in the excitement of urban adventures, but still desire their own private haven to relax in.

"We have brought together the best of Banyan Tree's signature touches including the Resort Host service to offer a sanctuary for the senses to our guests, in the midst of cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpur," said Dimblad in a statement today.

The resort is home to a French-inspired bakery at the Arrival Lobby, sky high afternoon tea and wine lounge on 53rd Floor, an exquisite steakhouse on 58th Floor and the highest hotel rooftop bar in the city centre on 59th Floor.
