SUNWAY CITY KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Sunway Resort Hotel, Sunway Hospitality Group’s flagship five-star hotel at Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, Southeast Asia’s premier integrated hospitality and entertainment destination, has been named as the winner of the “Best Luxury Family Resort in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia” title at the 16th annual Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2024, as it continues to set a gold standard for hospitality.

Based in New York City, the Luxury Lifestyle Awards are considered among the most prestigious accolades in the industry. Selected from 5,000 premium products and experiences across 400 categories in more than 100 countries, the winners form a highly exclusive collection of the finest luxury products and services in the world. As the “Best Luxury Family Resort in Kuala Lumpur”, Sunway Resort Hotel is a fitting inclusion on this illustrious list.

Having completed a once-in-a-generation transformation, this landmark hotel now promises intuitive accommodation, state-of-the-art facilities, iconic culinary collaborations, world-class wellness and more, to create truly exceptional guest experiences. A new selection of original rooms and suites has been designed to cater for the unique needs of different vacation styles, including family breaks and luxury escapes, and a new collection of 17 one- and two-bedroom villas are nestled in tropical gardens with private plunge pools. These villas also set the stage for dedicated wellness retreats including therapies from Sunway MediSpa, an innovative new spa and medical centre.

The resort’s revitalisation has also shaken up the food scene in Malaysia with the debut of a series of acclaimed international restaurant brands. Gordon Ramsay, the world-renowned British chef and restaurateur, has introduced two of his popular dining concepts – Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill and Street Pizza – to Malaysia for the first time, and Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, the acclaimed New York-style outlet, is now delighting families at the hotel.
