The Malay Peninsula is not only home to beautiful beaches, untouched rainforests, and inspiring mountains, it is also the site of one of Asia’s most energetic and exciting cities: Kuala Lumpur. “KL” takes understandable pride in its cultural diversity – evidenced by Malay artworks, Islamic architecture, Indian temples, Chinatown markets, and, most importantly, an astonishing array of ethnic foods.

In fact, for locals and visitors alike, KL is a food-lover’s paradise, whether you’re navigating the famed food hawker stalls of Jalan Alor or lounging with the hip young things on Jalan Sultan Ismail.

Happily, Mandarin Oriental is perfectly situated to help you work up your appetite. From here you can explore the streets of Little India, climb to the top of Petronas Twin Towers, shop ‘til you drop in the Golden Triangle, or visit the old cricket grounds at Merdeka Square. Indeed, with so much to do and see, Kuala Lumpur is a true gateway to the wonders of Southeast Asia.
