About Us
The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur includes the
original Hotel Majestic which is documented as a national heritage
site. This colonial structure was built in 1932 and became one of
the great hotels of Kuala Lumpur in its time. An icon of Malaya’s
boom years leading to World War II, the hotel came to be the place
for glamorous social events, government receptions and the residence
for prominent international visitors. The Majestic Hotel Kuala
Lumpur is positioned to share the glamour, heritage and success of
its predecessor as a YTL Classic Hotel.It is the only hotel in Kuala
Lumpur to be included in the Leading Hotels of the World luxury
hotel collection. The affiliation verifies that the hotel meets a
demanding set of quality standards which serve as the benchmark for
the luxury hospitality industry, putting it in the company of some
of the best hotels in the world.The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur is
now established as part of LHW’s family of iconic and legendary
hotels which include The Ritz London, The Pierre in New York City,
Hotel le Bristol in Paris, and Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy.
Built in 1932, the original Hotel Majestic was designed by the Dutch
architectural firm Keyes and Dowdeswell for the Trustees of the
Estate of Loke Wan Tho, the youngest son of the businessman and
philanthropist Loke Yew.Constructed in a hybrid of neo-classical and
art deco styles, the 51 room hotel sat on a commanding hilltop site
facing another of Kuala Lumpur’s famous landmarks, the Moorish style
railway station. The main building is characterised by tall white
classically proportioned Roman columns and detailed cornices. The
curved driveway and covered Porte Cochere contribute to the sense of
grandeur.The hotel catered to every whim and fancy of contemporary
society. For the first time in Malayan history, modern sanitation
was introduced in all rooms, with hot and cold water, showers, and
long baths in 18 rooms, considered the height of luxury in its
day.Custom designed furniture, silverware and furnishings imported
from England all added to the sumptuous surroundings. A special
feature was the roof garden, with a dance floor and seating for 350
guests. Artistes from all over the world performed at the hotel,
including popular acts from Hollywood and the Coliseum in London.In
its heyday, The Hotel Majestic was the largest and grandest hotel in
Kuala Lumpur, unrivalled for its prestige and luxury. Favoured by
the colonial elite and prominent visitors, she was the venue for
extravagant parties, Sunday curry tiffin lunches and that most
European of traditions, the tea dance. By the 1970s, however, the
hotel had lost its lustre, giving way to newer, bigger and more
luxurious hotels. Saved from demolition by the government, she was
gazetted as a heritage building under the Antiquities Act. At the
end of 1983, the last guests checked out and the hotel became home
to the National Art Gallery from 1984 until 1998, until it relocated
to its current premises.YTL Hotels was then entrusted with the
restoration of this national treasure, a project the Company
undertook with much pride.

THE MAJESTIC SPA
Distinctively appointed in the art deco style of Scottish architect
and designer Charles Rennie Macintosh’s Willow Tearooms, The
Majestic Spa offers something different. Turn of the century England
was not only a period of social grace and tradition, but also of
progress and change. The Willow Tearooms of Scotland became iconic
gathering places for businessmen to meet, read the paper or discuss
politics, and an elegant environment for proper ladies to lunch,
play cards and socialise. Serving as home to many British
expatriates, British Malaya also embodied the feeling of this
transitional time. Although longing for the comforts of their home,
these “strangers in a strange land” adapted to all things new and
exotic, finding the experience both fascinating and daunting. True
to the spirit of this time, The Majestic Spa reflects upon a golden
era in Malaysian history. Spa Experiences offered include the
intriguingly named Queen Victoria’s Lavender and English Afternoon
Tea.
