Malaysia's 10 Largest Hotels by Room Count (2026)
Malaysia's ten biggest hotels by disclosed guest-room count — from a Guinness World Records holder at Genting Highlands to Kuala Lumpur's five-star towers.
Quick answer
First World Hotel at Resorts World Genting is Malaysia's largest hotel by room count, with 7,351 rooms confirmed by Guinness World Records as of March 2026. Three more Genting Highlands properties — Highlands Hotel, Maxims Genting and Genting Grand — also rank among the nation's ten biggest, reflecting the integrated resort's scale, while Kuala Lumpur's five-star hotels, led by Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur's 662 rooms, fill most of the remaining places. This ranking orders Malaysia's ten largest hotels strictly by disclosed guest-room count, not by star rating or guest reviews.
- First World Hotel's 7,351 rooms make it not just Malaysia's largest hotel but the Guinness World Records holder for the world's largest hotel, as of March 2026.
- Four of Malaysia's ten largest hotels — First World Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Maxims Genting and Genting Grand — belong to the same integrated resort at Genting Highlands, which spans more than 10,000 rooms across seven hotels combined.
- Every Kuala Lumpur or Selangor entry on this list is an individually branded 5-star hotel with between roughly 410 and 660 rooms — far below Genting Highlands' scale, because these properties compete on service and location rather than room inventory.
- Six of the ten largest hotels sit in Kuala Lumpur, three at Genting Highlands in Pahang, and one in Selangor — no entry comes from East Malaysia, Penang, Johor or any other state.
- This is a room-count ranking only — it does not reflect guest ratings, star classification or price tier, which this site's other Kuala Lumpur hotel rankings cover separately.
How this ranking was decided
Candidates were restricted to MOTAC-registered tourist accommodation premises operating in Malaysia with a guest-room count independently verifiable from the hotel's own disclosure, an internationally recognised travel-industry authority (Forbes Travel Guide, Guinness World Records) or its parent hotel group's own site, captured between 21 and 31 August 2026. MOTAC's hotel-rating registry does not itself publish per-property room counts, so this research checked each property individually rather than relying on one government dataset. Ties would be broken by earlier founding year; none occurred.

| # | Name | Rooms | Best for | Main advantage | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | First World Hotel | 7,351 | Event planners and tour operators who need the single largest room block available anywhere in Malaysia under one roof. | World's largest hotel by room count, certified by Guinness World Records (March 2026). | Mass-market, high-volume positioning rather than boutique or five-star personalised service. |
| 2 | Highlands Hotel (Resorts World Genting) | 845 | Guests who want a Genting Highlands stay with more breathing room than the resort's largest, busiest tower. | Malaysia's second-largest hotel by room count. | Room count not independently star-rated in this research pass. |
| 3 | Maxims Genting | 795 | Travellers who want a Resorts World Genting stay under a distinctly branded tower separate from the resort's largest, busiest hotel. | Third-largest hotel in Malaysia by disclosed room count. | Independently disclosed room count sourced from a travel-listing site rather than the resort's own press materials. |
| 4 | Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur | 662 | Corporate travellers and event organisers who want the largest individually branded five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur's city centre. | Largest room count among Kuala Lumpur's individually branded five-star hotels on this list. | Room count roughly one-eleventh of First World Hotel's, illustrating the gap between integrated-resort and standalone-hotel scale. |
| 5 | Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur | 650 | Groups who want a large room block combined with direct access to shopping and indoor entertainment in one complex. | 650 rooms — the second-largest standalone hotel in Kuala Lumpur on this list. | Star classification not independently re-confirmed this research pass beyond the operator's own listing. |
| 6 | Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur | 629 | Travellers who prioritise an internationally recognised ultra-luxury brand and a KLCC-facing address over sheer room count. | 629 rooms under a globally recognised ultra-luxury hotel brand. | Smallest room count among this list's three highest-recognition international luxury brands (Shangri-La, Mandarin Oriental, Grand Hyatt). |
| 7 | Sunway Resort Hotel | 477 | Families and groups who want integrated theme-park access in Selangor rather than a city-centre or mountain-resort stay. | Only Selangor entry on this list, diversifying the ranking beyond Kuala Lumpur and Genting Highlands. | Located outside central Kuala Lumpur, requiring a longer transfer for city-centre business travel. |
| 8 | Genting Grand Hotel | 427 | Guests who want a Genting Highlands stay at the smallest, and by extension most exclusive-feeling, of the resort's four large towers on this list. | Fourth Resorts World Genting property to qualify for this national top-10. | Smallest of the four Genting Highlands entries, and star classification not independently confirmed this run. |
| 9 | Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur | 420 | Business travellers who prioritise proximity to KL Sentral's transport connections over a KLCC address. | 420 rooms under a globally recognised five-star hotel brand. | Smallest room count among this list's individually branded Kuala Lumpur five-star hotels bar one. |
| 10 | Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur | 411 | Travellers who want a smaller, more intimate five-star KLCC-area hotel than the larger entries above it on this list. | Globally recognised Hyatt five-star brand in the KLCC area. | Smallest room count of the ten qualifying hotels on this list. |
Why four of Malaysia's ten largest hotels sit on one mountain
Malaysia's Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) does not classify hotels by star rating alone — its tourist-accommodation grading system separates "Hotel Bandar" (city hotels) from "Hotel Tanah Tinggi" (highland hotels) as distinct categories, because a mountain-resort property competes on a different basis than a city tower. That distinction explains the shape of this ranking better than any single metric does. Four of Malaysia's ten largest hotels by room count — First World Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Maxims Genting and Genting Grand — are not four separate hospitality businesses competing for the same guests. They are four towers inside one integrated resort, Resorts World Genting, which by public account spans seven hotel properties and more than 10,000 guest rooms combined, according to a sourced overview on Wikipedia's Genting Highlands entry. Genting Highlands was built from the outset as a casino-anchored, gaming-licence-driven leisure and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) destination 6,000 feet above sea level — a model that rewards building as many rooms as the mountain can hold, because the resort itself is the destination, not a base for exploring somewhere else.
Kuala Lumpur's five entries work on the opposite logic. Shangri-La, Mandarin Oriental, Grand Hyatt, Le Meridien and Berjaya Times Square are each independently branded, individually managed hotels competing for business and leisure travellers who are visiting the city, not the hotel. Their room counts cluster tightly between roughly 410 and 660 — large by international five-star standards, but a fraction of a single Genting Highlands tower — because a city hotel's economics reward service ratio, event-floor quality and location over sheer bed count. Sunway Resort Hotel, the only Selangor entry, sits closer to the Genting model in spirit: it anchors an integrated leisure complex (Sunway Resort City, alongside Sunway Lagoon) rather than standing alone, though at a smaller scale than Genting's casino-driven resort.
The practical takeaway for anyone using this list: room count measures physical capacity, not quality, location convenience or guest satisfaction — a distinction this ranking deliberately keeps separate from this site's other, rating-based Kuala Lumpur hotel lists (see "Who should use this list" below).
Who should use this list
This list is built for corporate travel buyers and MICE planners sizing venue capacity for a large conference, group-tour operators comparing block-booking capacity, and travellers curious which Malaysian properties can genuinely be called "large" rather than merely well-reviewed. It ranks strictly by disclosed guest-room count — not by guest rating, price or luxury tier — as part of this site's wider Travel & Hotels coverage. Travellers deciding where to stay in Kuala Lumpur specifically for service quality or guest reviews should instead see this site's largest luxury hotels in Kuala Lumpur or highest-rated Kuala Lumpur hotels, both ranked on different bases. Anyone planning a trip to Genting Highlands itself, rather than comparing it against Kuala Lumpur, may also find this site's Malaysian highland getaways guide useful for wider context.
How hotels qualified
To qualify for this ranking, a hotel had to be an operating, MOTAC-registered tourist accommodation premises in Malaysia with a guest-room count that could be independently verified from the property's own disclosure, an internationally recognised travel-industry authority (Forbes Travel Guide, Guinness World Records) or its parent hotel group's own site — captured between 21 and 31 August 2026. MOTAC's own hotel-rating registry, which covers star classification, does not itself publish per-property room counts, so this research required a hotel-by-hotel check against each property's own disclosed figures rather than a single government dataset, a gap confirmed directly against the registry this run. Serviced apartments, budget hotels and properties without a citable room-count disclosure were not pursued. Ties would be broken by earlier founding year, though no two of the ten qualifying properties tied on room count.
Reading the differences
The single biggest number on this list is also the least comparable: First World Hotel's 7,351 rooms are more than eight times the size of the next-largest entry, Highlands Hotel's 845, and the gap exists because First World Hotel is a Guinness World Records-certified record holder, not merely a large regional hotel — as of March 2026, Guinness World Records lists it as the world's single largest hotel by room count. Strip that one outlier out and the remaining nine properties form two tighter clusters: three more Genting Highlands towers (845 down to 427 rooms) and six individually branded Kuala Lumpur and Selangor hotels bunched between 662 and 411 rooms — a difference of only 251 rooms across the entire second half of the list.
Star rating tells a different story than room count. Every disclosed-star Kuala Lumpur or Selangor entry on this list carries an official five-star classification, while none of the four Genting Highlands hotels researched here had a star rating independently confirmed this run — not because they are lower-rated, but because MOTAC's grading and room-count data sit in separate systems that this research could not fully cross-reference for resort-complex properties. State concentration is stark: six of ten entries sit in Kuala Lumpur, three in Pahang (all at Genting Highlands), and just one, Sunway Resort Hotel, in Selangor — no entry comes from East Malaysia, Penang, Johor or any of Malaysia's other states.
Matching a hotel to your needs
Choose First World Hotel if your event needs the single largest room block available anywhere in Malaysia, or if budget-tier, high-volume group accommodation matters more than boutique service — it remains the only Malaysian property that can house a convention-scale group under one roof without splitting across hotels.
Choose Highlands Hotel or Maxims Genting if you want a Genting Highlands stay with slightly more room to spare than First World Hotel's peak-season crowds, without leaving the same integrated resort's casino, theme-park and MICE facilities.
Choose Genting Grand if you're at Genting Highlands but want the smallest, and by extension most exclusive-feeling, of the resort's four large towers on this list.
Choose Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur if you want the largest individually branded five-star hotel in the capital, with an internationally recognised name for corporate billing and loyalty programmes.
Choose Berjaya Times Square Hotel if you want a large room block directly connected to one of Kuala Lumpur's biggest shopping-and-entertainment complexes, useful for groups who want lodging and leisure in one building.
Choose Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur if a KLCC Park-facing address next to the Petronas Twin Towers matters more than sheer room count.
Choose Sunway Resort Hotel if you're travelling with family or a group that wants integrated theme-park access in Selangor rather than a city-centre or mountain-resort stay.
Choose Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur or Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur if you want a globally recognised five-star brand with easier day-to-day rate availability than the larger, higher-demand properties above them on this list.
The full ranking
First World Hotel
Malaysia's largest hotel and the Guinness World Records holder for the world's largest hotel overall, with 7,351 rooms at the Resorts World Genting integrated resort in Pahang.
Why it was selected
First World Hotel's 7,351 rooms are more than eight times the size of the next hotel on this list, a scale gap that reflects its role inside one of Southeast Asia's largest casino-anchored integrated resorts rather than a standalone hotel business. Guinness World Records recognised it as the world's largest hotel by room count as of March 2026, a distinction that supports the room-count figure used here beyond the resort's own disclosure. Positioned as the high-volume tier within Resorts World Genting's hotel lineup, it is built for large group volume — convention delegates, theme-park visitors and tour groups — rather than boutique-style personalised service, typically at rates below the resort's more premium towers.
Best for
Event planners and tour operators who need the single largest room block available anywhere in Malaysia under one roof.
Advantages
- World's largest hotel by room count, certified by Guinness World Records (March 2026).
- Part of a casino, theme-park and MICE-anchored integrated resort with extensive on-site facilities.
Limitations
- Mass-market, high-volume positioning rather than boutique or five-star personalised service.
- Location:
- Pahang (Genting Highlands)
- Rooms:
- 7,351
Highlands Hotel (Resorts World Genting)
The second-largest hotel at Resorts World Genting and Malaysia's second-largest hotel overall, with 845 rooms atop Genting Highlands.
Why it was selected
Highlands Hotel is one of four Resorts World Genting properties on this list, and at 845 rooms it is the largest single tower in Malaysia after First World Hotel itself. Formerly known as Resort Hotel before its rebrand, it sits within the same 6,000-foot-elevation integrated resort complex, giving guests access to Genting Highlands' casino, theme park and MICE facilities without the scale of First World Hotel's larger, more budget-oriented tower. Its size alone places it well ahead of every individually branded Kuala Lumpur hotel on this list.
Best for
Guests who want a Genting Highlands stay with more breathing room than the resort's largest, busiest tower.
Advantages
- Malaysia's second-largest hotel by room count.
- Direct access to Resorts World Genting's full casino, theme-park and MICE facilities.
Limitations
- Room count not independently star-rated in this research pass.
- Location:
- Pahang (Genting Highlands)
- Rooms:
- 845
Maxims Genting
A third Resorts World Genting tower on this list, with 795 rooms — within 50 rooms of Highlands Hotel despite being a separately branded property.
Why it was selected
Maxims Genting's 795 rooms make it the third-largest hotel in Malaysia and the third of four Resorts World Genting properties to appear on this list, underscoring how much of the resort's total room inventory is spread across multiple, separately branded towers rather than concentrated in one building. Its inclusion, alongside First World Hotel, Highlands Hotel and Genting Grand, means Genting Highlands alone accounts for four of the ten entries on this national ranking.
Best for
Travellers who want a Resorts World Genting stay under a distinctly branded tower separate from the resort's largest, busiest hotel.
Advantages
- Third-largest hotel in Malaysia by disclosed room count.
- Part of the same integrated resort access as the other three Genting Highlands entries on this list.
Limitations
- Independently disclosed room count sourced from a travel-listing site rather than the resort's own press materials.
- Location:
- Pahang (Genting Highlands)
- Rooms:
- 795
Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur
The largest individually branded five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur on this list, with 662 rooms and an official 5-star MOTAC classification.
Why it was selected
Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is the highest-ranked Kuala Lumpur hotel on this list and the first entry that is not part of the Genting Highlands resort complex, with 662 disclosed rooms and a confirmed 5-star classification. As an internationally recognised luxury hotel brand located in the city's Golden Triangle district, it represents the standalone, city-centre model that defines the rest of this list: individually managed, five-star-classified towers competing on service and location rather than sheer scale.
Best for
Corporate travellers and event organisers who want the largest individually branded five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur's city centre.
Advantages
- Largest room count among Kuala Lumpur's individually branded five-star hotels on this list.
- Official 5-star MOTAC classification, unlike the four unrated Genting Highlands entries above it.
Limitations
- Room count roughly one-eleventh of First World Hotel's, illustrating the gap between integrated-resort and standalone-hotel scale.
- Location:
- Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
- Rooms:
- 662
- Star Rating:
- 5-star
Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
A 650-room five-star hotel directly connected to the Berjaya Times Square shopping and entertainment complex in central Kuala Lumpur.
Why it was selected
Berjaya Times Square Hotel's 650 rooms make it the second-largest individually branded hotel in Kuala Lumpur on this list, notable for being built directly into one of the city's largest shopping-mall and indoor-theme-park complexes. That integration is unusual among Kuala Lumpur's five-star hotels, most of which stand apart from large retail developments, and it gives guests an unusually large volume of on-site retail and entertainment without leaving the building.
Best for
Groups who want a large room block combined with direct access to shopping and indoor entertainment in one complex.
Advantages
- 650 rooms — the second-largest standalone hotel in Kuala Lumpur on this list.
- Directly integrated with the Berjaya Times Square mall and indoor theme park.
Limitations
- Star classification not independently re-confirmed this research pass beyond the operator's own listing.
- Location:
- Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
- Website:
- www.berjayahotel.com/kualalumpur
- Rooms:
- 650
- Star Rating:
- 5-star
Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur
A 629-room ultra-luxury hotel directly facing KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers.
Why it was selected
Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur holds 629 disclosed rooms and one of the most prominent addresses in the country, facing KLCC Park with a direct view of the Petronas Twin Towers. As part of a globally recognised ultra-luxury hotel group, its inclusion on this list demonstrates that a top-tier international brand can still rank among Malaysia's ten largest hotels by room count, not only its smaller boutique-style properties elsewhere in Asia.
Best for
Travellers who prioritise an internationally recognised ultra-luxury brand and a KLCC-facing address over sheer room count.
Advantages
- 629 rooms under a globally recognised ultra-luxury hotel brand.
- Address directly facing KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers.
Limitations
- Smallest room count among this list's three highest-recognition international luxury brands (Shangri-La, Mandarin Oriental, Grand Hyatt).
- Location:
- Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
- Rooms:
- 629
- Star Rating:
- 5-star
Sunway Resort Hotel
The only Selangor entry on this list, with 477 rooms anchoring the Sunway Resort City integrated leisure complex.
Why it was selected
Sunway Resort Hotel is the sole entry on this list from outside Kuala Lumpur and Genting Highlands, with 477 disclosed rooms in Selangor's Sunway Resort City — a complex that also includes Sunway Lagoon theme park and a large shopping mall. Its inclusion shows the same integrated-resort logic seen at Genting Highlands playing out at a smaller scale in the Klang Valley: a hotel built as part of a wider leisure destination, not a standalone city hotel.
Best for
Families and groups who want integrated theme-park access in Selangor rather than a city-centre or mountain-resort stay.
Advantages
- Only Selangor entry on this list, diversifying the ranking beyond Kuala Lumpur and Genting Highlands.
- Anchors an integrated leisure complex including Sunway Lagoon theme park.
Limitations
- Located outside central Kuala Lumpur, requiring a longer transfer for city-centre business travel.
- Location:
- Selangor
- Rooms:
- 477
- Star Rating:
- 5-star
Genting Grand Hotel
The fourth and smallest Resorts World Genting property on this list, with 427 rooms.
Why it was selected
Genting Grand Hotel's 427 rooms make it the smallest of the four Resorts World Genting properties on this list, yet it still places eighth nationally — smaller than every other Genting Highlands entry here, but still larger than two individually branded Kuala Lumpur five-star hotels ranked below it. Its presence rounds out a striking pattern: four of this list's ten entries, and four of its top eight, all belong to one integrated resort.
Best for
Guests who want a Genting Highlands stay at the smallest, and by extension most exclusive-feeling, of the resort's four large towers on this list.
Advantages
- Fourth Resorts World Genting property to qualify for this national top-10.
- Still larger than two individually branded Kuala Lumpur five-star hotels on this list.
Limitations
- Smallest of the four Genting Highlands entries, and star classification not independently confirmed this run.
- Location:
- Pahang (Genting Highlands)
- Rooms:
- 427
Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur
A 420-room five-star hotel near KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur's main transport interchange.
Why it was selected
Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur's 420 disclosed rooms place it ninth on this list, the smaller of the two Marriott-family hotels among Malaysia's ten largest. Its location near KL Sentral, the city's main rail and transit interchange, makes it a common choice for business travellers prioritising transport connectivity over the KLCC district's landmark views.
Best for
Business travellers who prioritise proximity to KL Sentral's transport connections over a KLCC address.
Advantages
- 420 rooms under a globally recognised five-star hotel brand.
- Near KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur's main transport interchange.
Limitations
- Smallest room count among this list's individually branded Kuala Lumpur five-star hotels bar one.
- Location:
- Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
- Rooms:
- 420
- Star Rating:
- 5-star
Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur
The smallest hotel on this list by room count, with 411 rooms, and still one of Kuala Lumpur's internationally recognised five-star addresses.
Why it was selected
Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur closes this list with 411 disclosed rooms — the smallest figure among the ten hotels that qualified, but still large enough to place ahead of every other MOTAC-registered hotel in Malaysia not already on this list. Its KLCC-adjacent location and Hyatt-brand five-star classification keep it competitive with the other Kuala Lumpur entries above it despite the smaller room count.
Best for
Travellers who want a smaller, more intimate five-star KLCC-area hotel than the larger entries above it on this list.
Advantages
- Globally recognised Hyatt five-star brand in the KLCC area.
- Still large enough to rank among Malaysia's ten biggest hotels nationally.
Limitations
- Smallest room count of the ten qualifying hotels on this list.
- Location:
- Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
- Rooms:
- 411
- Star Rating:
- 5-star
Frequently asked questions
Which is Malaysia's largest hotel by room count in 2026?
First World Hotel at Resorts World Genting in Pahang is Malaysia's largest hotel by room count, with 7,351 rooms. Guinness World Records recognised it as the world's largest hotel overall as of March 2026, a distinction independent of the resort's own room-count disclosure. The next-largest Malaysian hotel, Highlands Hotel, also at Resorts World Genting, has 845 rooms — less than an eighth of First World Hotel's total.
Why are four of Malaysia's ten largest hotels all at Genting Highlands?
First World Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Maxims Genting and Genting Grand are four separate towers within one integrated resort, Resorts World Genting, which spans seven hotel properties and more than 10,000 rooms in total according to publicly available figures. Genting Highlands was built as a casino-anchored, MICE and leisure destination where the resort itself is the attraction, which rewards building far more rooms per site than a standalone city hotel would.
How many rooms does the largest hotel in Kuala Lumpur have?
Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is the largest individually branded hotel in Kuala Lumpur on this list, with 662 disclosed rooms and an official 5-star MOTAC classification, as of research conducted in August 2026. It is followed closely by Berjaya Times Square Hotel at 650 rooms and Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur at 629 rooms.
Does this ranking include hotel star ratings or guest reviews?
No. This ranking orders Malaysia's ten largest hotels strictly by disclosed guest-room count, verified from each property's own disclosure, an internationally recognised travel authority or its parent hotel group's site. Several entries also carry an official five-star MOTAC classification, shown where confirmed, but star rating and guest reviews are not ranking factors. Readers wanting a ratings-based list should see this site's separate Kuala Lumpur hotel rankings.
Is First World Hotel's room count independently verified?
Yes. First World Hotel's 7,351-room count is confirmed by Guinness World Records, which recognised it as the world's largest hotel by room count as of March 2026, in addition to the resort's own published figures. This is the only entry on this list with third-party record-body verification beyond the property's own or its group's disclosure.
Where are Malaysia's ten largest hotels located?
Six of the ten largest hotels are in Kuala Lumpur, three are at Genting Highlands in Pahang, and one, Sunway Resort Hotel, is in Selangor, as of this list's August 2026 research. No hotel from East Malaysia, Penang, Johor or any other Malaysian state placed among the ten largest by disclosed room count in this research pass.

Candidates considered but not ranked, and why:
- Crockfords, RW Hotel and Genting SkyWorlds Hotel (Resorts World Genting) — Other hotels within the same integrated resort complex, but an individually disclosed, citable room count for each was not confirmed this run — not because they were assessed and found smaller than the properties listed.
- Large hotels in Sabah and Sarawak — East Malaysia's largest convention and resort hotels were not covered by this research pass; a future refresh could extend verification to these properties.

Limitations
Room counts come from each hotel's own disclosure, its parent group's site, or an independent travel-industry authority, captured between 21 and 31 August 2026 — not from a single centralised government dataset, since MOTAC's own hotel registry does not publish per-property room counts. Four of the ten entries belong to the same integrated resort (Resorts World Genting) and were not independently cross-verified against each other beyond their individual public listings. Star ratings are shown only where an official MOTAC classification was confirmed; their absence for the four Genting Highlands entries reflects a gap in this research pass, not an unrated or lower-tier status. This list ranks room count only — not guest ratings, price, service quality or facilities, several of which this site covers in separate Kuala Lumpur hotel rankings.
