A hotel in the northern part of Kuala Lumpur’s city center. Conveniently connected to two stations, shopping malls, and the exhibition center (PWTC).

Hi there! I’m Aya, a Japanese wife living in Malaysia.

Today, we’re introducing the Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur, located in the northern part of central Kuala Lumpur. This hotel is situated within a shopping mall and is directly connected to two stations (KTM PUTRA Station and LRT PWTC Station) as well as the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) via a link bridge, making it incredibly convenient! From KTM PUTRA Station, it’s just three stops to KL Sentral Station, Malaysia’s main terminal hub, offering excellent access to the airport and other railway stations—highly recommended for travelers. Due to its prime location, the hotel is always bustling with international guests. It’s also a great choice for those attending or exhibiting at the MATTA Fair, Malaysia’s hugely popular travel exhibition held every March and September.

In Malaysia, where the rail network isn’t as developed as it is in Japan, hotels within walking distance of stations via covered walkways are a rare find.

Surrounded by lush greenery, you can relax by the hotel pool. There’s a large pool in the center, and benches line the four poolside areas around it, perfect for taking a break. The circular pool in the foreground is a jacuzzi. I took a leisurely stroll around the poolside with my kids! 😊

This exit from the mall connects directly to the station. You’ll need to watch out for the signs, as they can sometimes be too small to spot.

Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s Selling Points

“Conveniently connected to two stations (KTM Putra Station, LRT PWTC Station), shopping malls, and the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC)” + “Just three stops from KTM Putra Station to KL Sentral Station (Malaysia’s main terminal hub)”

Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur Address:

100, Jalan Putra, Chow Kit, 50350 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

Surrounding Information

The Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), a major exhibition venue, is just steps away. The KTM Putra station and LRT PWTC station are directly connected to the shopping mall, which is its biggest advantage. It’s incredibly convenient! Once you’re in the mall, you’ll find supermarkets, restaurants, and shops everywhere, making dining and shopping a breeze.
The Sunway Putra Hotel is featured in Malaysian travel magazines and is also conveniently located near the Chow Kit Market, a popular spot for locals. It’s just an 8-minute drive away, or you can walk (about 15–20 minutes) or take public transport (with a transfer at LRT Titiwangsa Station). If you have some spare time during your trip, be sure to visit this vibrant market and soak in the authentic Southeast Asian atmosphere.
Take the LRT to the second station, LRT Bandaraya, where you’ll find Kuala Lumpur SOGO. SOGO is a shopping mall, but the real highlight is the surrounding Indian and Malay neighborhoods. You’ll find shops selling traditional clothing, accessories, and more from various ethnic communities. The area has recently seen improved roadworks, making it much easier to explore on foot. Alternatively, you can take the train to LRT Pasar Seni to reach Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown. In recent years, the area has evolved beyond just trendy cafes, gaining more tourist appeal with attractions like street art, affordable local Malaysian-Chinese cuisine, and cleaner, more inviting streets. If you stay near the station, you can easily hop on the train for spontaneous sightseeing tours.
