Boutique Hotel In Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia | Anggun Kuala Lumpur
One of the finest boutique hotels in Kuala Lumpur, this four-star deluxe boutique hotel, with an enviable location in the capital’s hip and vibrant SOHO, Bukit Bintang, offers discerning guests personalised service in an atmosphere of history, culture, intimacy, luxury and cool sophistication. Back in 2008, when the hoteliers were scouting the area for a place to build their boutique hotel, they envisaged a boutique hotel that would combine history and culture with 21st century lifestyle. In their mind’s eye, they not only saw Anggun Boutique Hotel breathing life into two 1920s houses but also transforming the area, which in the 1960s had the unenviable reputation of being a red-light district and a second-wife street, into a much sought after address for international travellers. History and culture combine to create an atmosphere of sustainable living. A distinctive traditional Chinese open wooden-door beckons you in. Like the door, the fence is made of century-old restored hardwood railway sleepers. These sleepers had been salvaged when the national railway company replaced hardwood sleepers with concrete ones. Looking up at the hotel building, you will notice huge bay windows that are inspired by traditional Malay kampong (village) houses. Even some of the hotel roof tiles were salvaged from the house next door when the owner replaced the 1920s tiles with new ones.
