To say that one will feel right at home when staying at The RuMa Hotel and Residences would be an understatement.
Just a mere stone’s throw from the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and lying in the very heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, the urban sanctuary means home in its literal sense. After all, the name RuMa draws inspiration from the Malay word for home or “rumah”, which is further reflected in its mission to encapsulate all the forms of intimacy of a home managed by a competent host.
From the moment you set foot into its entrance foyer, there is no mistaking the detailed touches of local craftsmanship that are both daring and uniquely Malaysian. Its bird-cage like atrium, a nod to the mining industry, exudes the effect of cocooning guests, drawing them to the equally jaw-dropping lobby complete with a double-spiral staircase of old colonial houses and a glittering gold kebaya sculpture in the middle.
