Although a relatively young city, Kuala Lumpur has quite a good number of historical buildings. Most of these were erected beginning from the fourth quarter of the 19th century, when Kuala Lumpur became the most important town in the peninsula, its prosperity driven by the rich deposit of tin discovered in the Klang Valley.

On this page, I would like to share with you some of the historical buildings that you can find in Kuala Lumpur today:
  1. Coliseum Theatre
    Cinema in Kuala Lumpur, one of the longest operational in the country.

  2. KTM Building
    Headquarters of the Malayan Railway.

  3. Kuala Lumpur Industrial Court
    Heritage building built in 1905 by Kuala Lumpur's early millionaire, Loke Yew.

  4. Kuala Lumpur Memorial Library
    Former Government Printing Office.

  5. Kuala Lumpur Old Railway Station
    One of the most iconic colonial buildings in Kuala Lumpur.

  6. Kuala Lumpur Old Sessions Court
    Heritage building along Jalan Tun Perak.

  7. Old Kuala Lumpur City Hall
    Theatre housed in the former city hall building.

  8. Old Kuala Lumpur High Court
    Heritage building that today houses the Sessions and Magistrates Court.

  9. Old Kuala Lumpur Post Office
    Heritage building located next to the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.

  10. Pudu Jail
    Historic prison in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

  11. Royal Selangor Club

    The centrepiece of Kuala Lumpur's colonial architecture.

Hotel Room Price Checker



Before booking a hotel room, make sure you are getting the lowest price for it. Different hotel booking websites offers the same room at different prices. If you stick with one site all the time, you could be paying more for the same room. Now why pay more?

The form below is a Research Engine. It doesn't take bookings. Instead it lets you find the hotel booking website that offers the room you want at the lowest price. You can see and compare what different sites are offering, and then click to choose the one with the best price. Do this, and you're guaranteed to save a whole lot of money on your room reservations!
