RuMa opens in Kuala Lumpur
Set in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle and steps from the Petronas Towers, the newly-opened RuMa Hotel and Residences is the latest luxury property from Urban Resort Concepts (URC) and the company’s first development outside China.
The RuMa, which boasts 253 guestrooms and suites with a design inspired by Malaysia’s colourful history, will also become the only property in Kuala Lumpur to join the Leading Hotels of the World consortium.
In collaboration with Shanghai-based MQ-studio, the hotel’s interiors have been designed to exemplify URC’s hallmark features, integrating luxurious and understated metaphorical design in a modern space with cultural influences.
Guests enter through a Moorish-inspired, woven bronze screen to be greeted by a locally-handcrafted bronze water fountain enclosed by an interlaced terracotta bird cage, in reference to the bird cages that once held canaries used to check carbon monoxide gas leakages in mines.
The rooms and suites are fitted with handcrafted and artisanal furniture amid views of the Petronas Towers while other benefits include 24hr check-in and check-out, 24hr gym, free access to a fully stocked mini-bar.
Guests can also breakfast anywhere in the hotel, while a variety of indoor and outdoor venues fully-equipped with leading edge audio-visual technology cater for both corporate and social gatherings.
