Best Infinity Pool Hotels in Kuala Lumpur
Infinity pool hotels in Kuala Lumpur sit at the mid-tier of this city's pool hierarchy: more deliberate than a plain outdoor pool but not always carrying the full dining setup of a dedicated rooftop deck. Ceylonz Suites by MyKey Global near Bukit Nenas forest reserve, Komune Living Bangsar South near Mid Valley Megamall, and THE FACE Suites near Menara Kuala Lumpur all build their pool around the same disappearing-edge design, though each pairs it with a different setting, from a garden courtyard to full skyline views. An infinity edge does not need extreme height to work, which is why this pool type turns up at three-star properties as often as it does at five-star towers.
Kuala Lumpur's mix of dense towers and pockets of forest reserve, like Bukit Nenas right in the middle of the city, gives infinity pools here two very different backdrops to work with: a skyline edge downtown or a green one near the reserve. Few cities offer both within a few kilometers of each other, which is part of why the infinity pools on this list vary so much in feel despite sharing the same basic design.

Where to stay
Three infinity pools, three different views
What an infinity edge adds over a standard outdoor pool is the illusion that the water runs straight into the skyline or the garden beyond it, a visual trick that a square-edged pool cannot replicate regardless of how nice the surrounding deck looks. That design choice tends to correlate with a hotel treating the pool as a genuine feature rather than an afterthought bolted onto the ground floor.
THE FACE Suites near Menara Kuala Lumpur pairs its infinity pool with rooftop dining and genuine skyline views, eight minutes by taxi from the tower itself and five minutes on foot from Bukit Nanas forest reserve. Unlike the garden-facing infinity pools elsewhere on this list, the edge here looks straight out over the city, which is the version most travelers picture when they search for an infinity pool in Kuala Lumpur in the first place. A hot tub sits alongside it, adding a second reason to linger once the sun goes down and the deck cools off.
Komune Living Bangsar South takes a different approach, setting its rooftop infinity pool above a contemporary hotel near Mid Valley Megamall rather than in the downtown tower cluster. Contrasted with THE FACE Suites' city-facing edge, this pool looks out over a quieter, more residential stretch of Kuala Lumpur, which suits travelers who want the infinity design without the downtown crowds pressing in around the deck. The hip cafe attached to the property extends naturally into a pool-deck routine for guests staying more than a night or two, coffee in hand before the morning heat properly sets in over Bangsar South.
Ceylonz Suites by MyKey Global sits closer to street level than the other two, with its outdoor infinity pool set beside a garden two minutes on foot from Bukit Nenas forest reserve. That garden setting is the clearest contrast on this list: where THE FACE Suites and Komune Living both lean on height for their view, Ceylonz Suites leans on greenery instead, proving an infinity edge does not need a downtown skyline to justify the design choice behind it. The cafe and TV lounge on site round out a stay built around a quieter pace than the rooftop properties elsewhere on this list.
Budget matters here more than the pool design itself: Ceylonz Suites and Komune Living both sit in the budget-hotel bracket at around thirty-five to forty euros a night, while THE FACE Suites runs closer to sixty. Unlike a rooftop pool bundled with formal dining service, an infinity pool at the lower end of this range still delivers the same disappearing-edge effect without the higher nightly rate attached to a full five-star property nearby, which makes the design more accessible in this city than it might first appear from the outside.
A traveler's takeI swam laps at THE FACE Suites' infinity pool one evening after walking up from Bukit Nanas forest reserve, five minutes away on foot. The hot tub next to the pool was already busy by seven, so I went earlier the next day and had the edge mostly to myself with Menara Kuala Lumpur lit up in the distance, eight minutes away by taxi if I had wanted a closer look.

Why guests love itThe rooftop deck at THE FACE Suites earns its reputation: the infinity pool and hot tub sit side by side with a real skyline view, and dinner service right there meant evenings rarely needed to go anywhere else. Bukit Nanas forest reserve, five minutes on foot, made for an easy morning walk before the heat set in. Menara Kuala Lumpur was visible from the deck itself, with the actual tower an eight-minute taxi ride away if wanted up close.

Why guests love itThe infinity pool at Ceylonz Suites trades a skyline view for a garden one, which turned out to be the right call after a hot day walking Bukit Nenas forest reserve, two minutes from the front door. The cafe downstairs became a regular stop before heading out each morning. Petronas Twin Towers is a short taxi ride away when downtown Kuala Lumpur is wanted, but the pace here stays noticeably calmer than that district.

Why guests love itThe rooftop infinity pool at Komune Living Bangsar South felt calmer than the downtown options, with fewer people using the deck even on a warm afternoon. The hip cafe downstairs became a daily habit before heading up for a swim. Mid Valley Megamall was an easy eight-minute taxi ride for an afternoon out, and the on-site restaurant covered dinner most nights without needing to plan much further than the lobby.
