This article about kid-friendly hotels in Klang Valley is contributed by one of our readers, Erlina. Some parts of the article may have been edited for length and clarity.
I have 2 kids. Before Covid-19, we would go for staycations once every 2 months. We usually look for long weekends during our birthday/anniversary months. However, we usually avoid long school holidays due to the price surge and too packed accommodation. But these hotels really help us out! Plus, if you're looking for special perks for birthdays or celebrations, they are usually available upon request and at a fee.
Note: Prices are based on online prices. Walk-in prices and online prices may differ based on dates.
Toddler-Friendly Hotels In Klang Valley
1. Grand Hyatt KL

A stone's throw away from the mighty Twin Towers, this hotel is very friendly towards the little ones. If you are willing to indulge, this is the best hotel for you. Their rooms are spacious and they can help you to baby-proof your room too! They have this complimentary menu called Missing Must-Haves which includes Baby Shampoo/Oil/Powder and Kids slippers. Not to mention, the vast outdoor leisure pool and kids pool too will be more than sufficient to enjoy your quality family time. The food here is obtained through Halal certified suppliers but they do not display the Halal certification since they serve alcoholic beverages at the restaurants.

2. Putrajaya Marriott Hotel
Slightly further from the heart of Kuala Lumpur, this resort-style hotel has everything a toddler could ask for. A huge swimming pool with a slide at the kids’ pool, a Kiddies World where toddlers can use up all their energy after dining in at one of their five (5) multi-cuisine restaurants; including the mouthwatering dessert at the d’Oracle Lounge.

The rooms are huge and for those with larger families, you can request an interconnecting room which can double up the space. There is also a mall called IOI city mall with lots of kid-friendly activities (ice-rink, kids gym, bowling alley, etc) which can be accessed via a complimentary shuttle from the hotel.

Ascott brands specializes in serviced residences and you will not go wrong while staying in Ascott with young kids. Their suites are complete with kitchen facilities, a huge shower area and a great connection of wi-fi (who can say no to this when it comes to the kids' digital entertainment?).

The kids can splash around at their wading pool and their swimming suits can be dried up quickly using the launderette service (at a fee). This hotel is a few minutes' walk to KL Sentral, the city transportation hub; where all kinds of halal food are easily accessible there.
4. Somerset Damansara Uptown

Somerset is a sister to Ascott. Though the location is more to a commercial district, this property has everything that a toddler could ask for. Just like Ascott, their apartments are complete with kitchenette and they even have a washing machine in some of the rooms! The one-bedroom apartment cost around RM370++ per night. Feeling hungry? Just go next door to The Starling Mall where you can find plenty of halal food!
5. Perdana Kuala Lumpur City Centre

Just like the rest of the hotels, this property comes with a pool, a children playground and a jogging track. They offer a one-way shuttle service to multiple attractions including the Twin Towers, KL Towers as well as the KL Bird Park.

8. Colmar Tropicale, Berjaya Hills
Last but not least, if you are escaping from the heat of the city centre, this is the best place to be. Just a 1-hour drive from the city centre lies Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi Resort.
They have family rooms to cater to families with kids as well as a swimming pool for both adults and kids. This hotel is located near the Japanese Garden - perfect if you would like to try a tea ceremony or just walk around their Botanical Garden. There are a lot of restaurants for dining but most of them do not have Halal Certification as they serve alcohol on site.
