A 219-room Mercure hotel with 10 executive suites in the Utropolis Glenmarie development, Shah Alam, roughly 40 minutes from KLIA.
Last updated August 12, 2026
Mercure Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie is a 219-room hotel plus 10 executive suites set within the Utropolis Glenmarie development in Shah Alam, part of the greater Kuala Lumpur metro area. The property leans into an academic-inspired design that mimics a college library with book-themed decor, alongside a rooftop-accessible pool, Warna All Day Dining restaurant, and six meeting rooms. Guests consistently praise comfortable beds, well-tuned air conditioning, and a varied breakfast buffet, while a subset of reviews describe standard rooms as small, in-room equipment as minimal, and the location as somewhat removed from the main KL/Petaling Jaya scene. Subang Airport is about 18 minutes away and KLIA around 40 minutes, making the hotel more suited to guests with business in the Shah Alam/Glenmarie corridor than to sightseeing-focused stays.
