“We are not makers of history, we are made by history.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. 106

Kuala Lumpur is known for its vast and progressive development. With unending days of improvements and construction, it is easy to lose sight of the historic vestiges and legacies that once gave identity to this capital city. To understand how Kuala Lumpur came into being and become what it is today, Cosmo Hotel has created a new tour package called the City Discovery Package for history buffs and general adventurers to truly experience the ‘real side’ Kuala Lumpur. Guided by award-winning independent tour guide Jane Rai and the hotel’s staffs, this tour takes guests to Kuala Lumpur’s significant attractions, which turn out to be eye-opening to say the least. The hotel Prior to the tour, Gaya Travel Magazine team first checked into our room in one clear Saturday morning. At first sight, Cosmo Hotel’s facade appear imposing, extending high into the sky next to the other buildings that dominate the area. But as we stepped into the hotel, we were welcomed by an air of cosiness. The radiant lighting and plush, contemporary neoclassical-inspired interior of what was once an edifice containing offices piqued our interest. The rooms are designed to relaxation and stimulate at the same time, with bold carpeting and patterned wallpapers.

Complete with modern necessities, the hotel is perfect for a business visit or staycation. Our lunch at the hotel’s food and beverage outlet Café Mint consisted of multiple choices of hearty, filling and succulent dishes such as rib-eyed steak and chicken chop. This outlet is a crisp and suave looking restaurant, minimalistic with two ostentatiously hung chandeliers. The breakfast and dinner buffet served at Café Mint are respectively impressive with abundant choice and sizeable portions.
