by Meliã Kuala Lumpur Cheras
Urban lifestyle hotel — creative, playful, work-meets-leisure. Bold color blocking, mossy green and turquoise accents, and a merchandise display wall in the lobby signal a brand that's trying not to look like every other four-star in the city.
The hotel connects directly into EkoCheras Mall — you can get dinner without stepping outside, which matters during KL's afternoon downpours.
Why It Matters
The only INNSiDE property in Malaysia. Direct mall and MRT connectivity makes it unusually practical for both transit-dependent travelers and shoppers. Complimentary minibars stocked in every room category is a genuinely rare perk at this price point. The two top-floor Townhouse Xtra suites reach 85–102 sqm and include freestanding soaking tubs with city views.
Malaysia's first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel, this 238-room, 4-star lifestyle property sits inside EkoCheras Mall in the Cheras district, with direct MRT access through the mall's internal link bridge. Rooms lean hard into the tech-forward aesthetic: Chromecast on every screen, purple accent lighting in the bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling glass, and complimentary minibars across all categories. The Loft and Townhouse suites add separate lounges, game consoles, and serious breathing room.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
The INNSiDE Room
The entry-level room, but well-kitted. At 22 sqm it's compact — the space is designed efficiently with a plush king bed, Chromecast-enabled TV, and a rainshower. Purple accent lighting in the bathroom and local art on the walls keep things from feeling generic. Free minibar stocked with healthy drinks is included.
King or 2 Singles · 22 sqmThe INNSiDE Room Xtra
Same 22 sqm footprint as the base room but positioned on the highest available standard floors. The courtesy minibar upgrade and rainshower are the same; the difference is elevation and slightly more coveted views. Good option if you want the standard room experience with a better sightline.
King · 22 sqmThe Loft
At 45 sqm, this is the brand's flagship suite concept — bedroom and lounge each with their own TV, plus a complimentary minibar. The avant-garde design is more pronounced here: deeper color palette, more deliberate art placement. City views throughout.
King · 45 sqmThe Loft City View
A big step up in livability. The 37 sqm are split between a proper bedroom with a king bed and a separate lounge — the lounge comes with a video game console, Bluetooth speaker, and its own TV. Good for couples who actually want to hang out in the room without sitting on the bed.
King · 37 sqm
The Townhouse
On the top floor, this 68 sqm suite spreads across three distinct areas: sleeping, living, and a private work zone. It's the most apartment-like stay in the building — Nespresso machine, game console, and enough square footage to actually feel like you live there temporarily.
King · 68 sqmThe Townhouse Xtra
The two best rooms in the building, ranging from 85 to 102 sqm depending on the specific unit. Separate sleeping, living, and dining areas, plus the standout feature: a freestanding deep soaking tub positioned to overlook the city. Two TVs, premium complimentary minibar, game console, Bluetooth speaker, and Nespresso machine. This is the only room where the transparent-glass bathroom element becomes genuinely dramatic rather than just quirky.
