Luxury Hotels in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur

Bangsar is a prosperous residential area and a popular nightlife place on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. It is located in between Pantai Dalam dan Damansara, about four kilometres south-west of Kuala Lumpur city centre. The name Bangsar was based on the names of two board members of a British rubber company, Mr Edouard Bunge and Mr Alfred Grisar. These two men’s name were contracted thus creating the name, Bunge-Grisar rubber estate or Bungsar Estate and as time passed by, now it is known as Bangsar. One of its first government building is the Bangsar Hospital, previously known as the European Hospital, which was built in the early 1900s. In the early 1970s, an Eng Lian Enterprise Sdn Bhd had developed the Bangsar Baru neighbourhood, bringing more than a thousand residential places and a thriving business community. The following decade, Bangsar had become the sought-after nightlife place until this very day.
