Highlands Hotel at Resorts World Genting
A taste of Malaysian exclusivity
If Resorts World Genting is considered an out-of-this-world vacationing experience just 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, Highlands Hotel might be its brightest star.
The hotel, one of five on the massive campus, isn’t the biggest (the 7,351-room First World Hotel & Spa) or newest option (the just-opened Hotel on the Park) in the resort’s portfolio, but because its overnight accommodations are only available to casino guests, Highlands Hotel could prove its most exclusive address. Rooms range from 325-square-foot Premier units to the three-bedroom Belgravia palace that features a greenery-covered ceiling and a vertical garden.
But while these impressive units may be exclusive, Highlands Hotel features fine-dining options (including Ming Ren and Imperial Rama) that are available to everyone. Of course, the experience at e18hteen, an open-kitchen concept for Japanese, Chinese and Western dishes, is so wonderful that you’ll want to keep it to yourself.
