Bestow Boutique Hotel in KL
A big part of KL’s charm lies in the time-worn pre-war buildings that dot its colourful streets. Aesthetically-pleasing cafes have been moving into these structures, breathing life into them again. And it seems that hotels have taken note too.
Cue Bestow Boutique Hotel. This new budget-friendly boutique hotel in KL inhabits a colonial-era shophouse. Its name might sound familiar to some – that’s because the charming Bestow Restaurant & Bar happens to be located at its ground floor. With direct access to the eatery, amenities like a rooftop pool and jacuzzi, and affordable room rates, this hotel won’t leave your wallet feeling as deflated as a popped beach ball after a stay.
Affordable new boutique hotel in KL
Tucked away on Jalan Imbi is Bestow Boutique Hotel. Fresh on the scene, this hotel is where you can soak your stress away in a jacuzzi and sip on cocktails while looking out at KL’s skyline – you’ll feel as zen as possible here even with shopping malls like Berjaya Times Square and LaLaport BBCC less than a 10-minute walk away.

Outside, the hotel certainly charms – it’s housed in a low-rise building that’s hard to miss on the street where more modern building facades abound. Within, the wooden finishings and carved details will make you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a hidden Bali oasis in the heart of the city.
There’s even a decorative fountain and rustic rattan lights at the hotel’s lobby.

Vintage-inspired rooms & an aesthetically-pleasing cafe
The hotel only has a limited number of rooms, so guests can look forward to having a peaceful retreat away from the city’s bustle. Whether you’re flying solo or here with your SO, there are three room options with different bedroom layouts.

The Loft-style Room (from RM90/night) is perfect for those seeking a cosy retreat for two. It comes with air-conditioned comfort, a private bathroom, and a king-sized bed awaiting you at the top of the loft-style room.
If waking up to city views is more your style, then the Private Room with balcony (from RM100/night) will seal the deal. Here, guests can take in the sights of the towering TRX building from a private outdoor space.

Soak in a jacuzzi or take a dip in the rooftop pool
If you’re looking for something to do besides just catching Z’s in your room, this hotel offers two onsite activities for a dose of fun and relaxation.
A standout feature here is the jacuzzi, conveniently positioned smack dab in the middle of the hotel. It’s surrounded by natural light flooding the space, so guests can soak in bubbling water while soaking up some vitamin D.
