Overview

Kuala Lumpur is where gleaming skyscrapers including the Petronas Twin Towers rise above a mosaic of Malay, Chinese, and Indian neighborhoods. It's a world-class food destination with street food culture among the best on the planet.

The W Kuala Lumpur, Conrad Kuala Lumpur, and IHG's InterContinental all offer strong redemptions. Cash rates are lower than comparable Asian cities, consistently yielding 1.8-2.5 CPP or better.

KL is extremely well-connected internationally, making it an ideal stopover destination. Beyond the Petronas Towers, Batu Caves, Jalan Alor night market, and the hip Bangsar neighborhood are all unmissable.

Cash vs Points
