Hotels in Malaysia
Stay in Malaysia hotels for a chance to take in the sheer diversity of this exotic country. The vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur is modern, brash and bold, home to the world's tallest building, fashionable boutiques and restaurants dishing up cutting-edge cuisine. After this modern metropolis, the quaint colonial streets of Penang and Kota Kinabalu in Borneo are a welcome break, with cosy pubs and all-night coffee houses on the scene.
Holidays to Malaysia show this country's contrasting landscapes; the brown eagles circling high over the humid Mangrove Forests in Langkawi couldn't be more different than the Cameron Highlands with its serene gardens and tea plantations. The sight of turtles hatching on Turtle Island and orang-utans in Borneo are far removed from the steamy buffets and packed markets of the city centre.
But that's the sheer pleasure of holidays in Malaysia - you never know what you're going to do next. At least the beach-based hotels in Malaysia remain the same - luxury resorts with friendly service and serene sea views.
