Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre

A family-oriented Renaissance at the corner of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang, with an integrated convention centre.

Last updated August 3, 2026

Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre sits at the corner of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang, close to the Bukit Nanas Monorail station and within walking distance of KLCC's shopping centre and the Petronas Twin Towers. The hotel leans into a family-friendly identity with themed family suites and one of the largest hotel pools in the city, complete with water slides and an outdoor play area, alongside a 52,000-square-foot integrated convention centre for events and meetings. Guest reviews consistently praise the pool and family amenities, spacious rooms with fantastic twin-tower views, the complimentary beverage ritual at R Bar, and generally attentive, warm staff. Breakfast variety, including curries and noodle soups, draws positive mentions as well. The most recurring complaint involves plumbing noise in the West Wing, with several reviews describing audible rushing water from toilets or showers during morning hours. Some guests have also expressed disappointment that a previous large restaurant was replaced by a smaller, harder-to-navigate dining space. It suits families and event-focused travelers who want a large-scale, well-located hotel with strong recreational facilities.
