Gold 3 Boutique Hotel

Kuala Lumpur


The owner of this hotel has indulged his love of cameras in the interior design – and the results in the public areas are impressive. The cheapest rooms are compact but good value – you'll need to opt for the deluxe ones (RM170) to have a window, though.

Check out their free Vintage Camera Museum (6am to 10pm) on the 2nd floor which displays old photography gear and evocative retro photos of KL in a fascimile of a old photo shop, studio and dark room.
