Welcome Home: Introducing The RuMa Hotel And Residences In Kuala Lumpur

To say that one will feel right at home when staying at The RuMa Hotel and Residences would be an understatement.

Just a mere stone's throw away from the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and lying in the very heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, the urban sanctuary means home in its literal sense. After all, the name RuMa draws inspiration from the Malay word for home or "rumah", which is further reflected in its mission to encapsulate all the forms of intimacy of a home managed by a competent host.  

From the moment you set foot into its entrance foyer, there is no mistaking the detailed touches of local craftsmanship that are both daring and uniquely Malaysian. Its bird-cage like atrium, a nod to the mining industry, exudes the effect of cocooning guests, drawing them to the equally jaw-dropping lobby complete with a double-spiral staircase of old colonial houses and a glittering gold kebaya sculpture in the middle. 

The journey to explore more of the city's origins and colonial influences continues up the grand stairwell where the hotel's flagship restaurant, Atas, lies. Enjoy some of the best Malaysian contemporary cuisine specially curated using the freshest locally sourced ingredients at this modern eatery before adjourning to  either one of the hotel's two bars, Seven lobby bar and Santai pool bar and lounge, for afternoon tea and refreshing cocktails respectively. 

If you wander up to the sixth floor and around the 24-hour state-of-the-art gym and stunning pool area, you will uncover UR Spa, the ultimate destination of health and wellness. Choose from a wide selection of effective treatments driven by modern science and ancient healing as you receive blissful pampering in one of the treatment rooms. Also, available is a barber by the famed Truefitt & Hill from London to complement the spa. 

Apart from its world-class facilities, it is also hard to overlook RuMa's highly acclaimed "hostmanship" culture — basically, a form of hospitality where every experience is centred around genuine and intuitive care. Some of the benefits include 24-hour check-in and check-out, as well as complimentary minibar and daily breakfast during your stay in any of its 253 elegant rooms and suites that boast artisanal furniture and overlook the city's exceptional architectural skyline. 

As far as bespoke luxury hotel goes, The RuMa has proven to be more than a welcomed addition to the hospitality scene. Showcasing authentic cultural charms while promising unparalleled experiences that extend well beyond conventional luxury, it is a true home away from home.
