The Heritage Station Hotel is located at the old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, one of the most distinctive Railway Station in the world. The building has been gazetted as a heritage site since 14 April 1983.
We are a 170 room budget hotel, in following the historical tradition of the railway station, offering basic necessities with no frills. All our rooms come attached with a private bathroom. In our hotel, you will experience the simpler lifestyle of yesteryears, long since forgotten as you engulf yourself in the past glories of Malaysia’s Historical Colonial Past.
Designed by A.B. Hubback and operational since 1 August 1910, the Railway Station was then known as Federated Malayan States Railway which originally housed a hostel. The building draws inspiration from the Neo Moorish period heavily influenced by architecture from India, Turkey and Morroco. Much of the building is made out of wood, with minimal use of stone and cement. All the building materials were brought in directly from England.
Directly opposite this budget Kuala Lumpur Hotel is The Railway Station Headquarters, also designed by Mr. Hubback, but completely different in styles, hence the contrast of having “twin” railway buildings directly opposite each other, a first in the world. However, the sister building could only be completed after World War II. Mr. Hubback also designed the Jamek Mosque (Majid Jamek) which follows the similar Neo Moorish architecture of his period.
