Overview of Sleeping Lion Suites
Sleeping Lion Suites is a large-scale city hotel: Traveloka's listing records 906 rooms spread across 37 floors, and the hotel's own website confirms the same figure of 906 guestrooms. The building was completed in 2022, which places it among the newer high-rise stays in Bukit Bintang. It carries a 3-star rating on Traveloka and sits at 5 Lorong Walter Grenier (written as Jalan Walter Granier on the official site), Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur.
What sets the property apart is how its inventory is organised. Rather than a long ladder of suites, every one of the 906 rooms falls into one of nine compact categories grouped into three tiers - Superior, Deluxe and Premier - with each tier offering a Junior, a standard and a Grand version. Room sizes run from 19 to 31 square metres, so the hotel is built around efficient, well-located rooms rather than sprawling apartments, despite the word "Suites" in its name.
The brand leans into a lion and "champion" theme. The official site describes its 906 guestrooms as "catering for every champion", and even its seven meeting rooms are named after signs of the zodiac, from Aquarius and Libra to Gemini, Leo and Scorpio. On the leisure side, the hotel lists an infinity pool with a separate wading pool, a gymnasium, a sauna and steam bath, a Garden of Dreams, a Sky Bridge and a Yoga Deck overlooking the city.
For Singapore travellers heading to Kuala Lumpur for a shopping weekend, a concert at the city centre or a short business trip, the appeal is straightforward: a recently built hotel in the middle of Bukit Bintang, with the MRT, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and the TRX district all a few minutes' walk away, according to the hotel.
Room Types at Sleeping Lion Suites
The official website lists nine room categories, presented here from smallest to largest within each tier. Exact room counts below come from the hotel's own room pages, and together they add up to the 906 rooms recorded on Traveloka. Note that the room names on Traveloka's booking widget may be grouped differently on any given date, so always check the room description before you confirm.
Junior Superior Room
The entry point of the Superior tier, the Junior Superior Room measures 19 square metres (about 206 sq ft) and comes with one king bed. The hotel lists 48 rooms in this category, making it a sensible pick for solo travellers or couples who mainly need a comfortable base between outings.
Superior Room
The Superior Room is 21 square metres (about 230 sq ft) and is offered as either a king room with one king bed or a twin room with two single beds. With 104 king rooms and 64 twin rooms, it is one of the most widely available categories in the building, and the twin option suits friends travelling together.
Grand Superior Room
Stepping up in size, the Grand Superior Room offers 31 square metres (about 330 sq ft), again in king or twin layouts, with 32 rooms of each configuration. The extra floor space makes it a better fit for guests staying several nights or arriving with more luggage after a shopping trip.
Junior Deluxe Room
The Junior Deluxe Room mirrors the Junior Superior format: 19 square metres with one king bed, and 46 rooms listed. It sits in the Deluxe tier, so check the room description on the booking page for what distinguishes it from the Superior equivalent on your travel dates.
Deluxe Room
At 21 square metres, the Deluxe Room is available with one king bed (102 rooms) or two single beds (64 rooms). It is a mid-tier option within the property's nine-category line-up rather than the base room, as the Superior tier sits below it.
Grand Deluxe Room
The Grand Deluxe Room provides 31 square metres in king or twin layouts, with 32 rooms of each. Like the other Grand categories, it is the roomiest version within its tier.
Junior Premier Room
The Junior Premier Room opens the top tier with 19 square metres and one king bed. The hotel lists 60 of these rooms.
Premier Room
The Premier Room is the single largest category by count: 210 rooms in total, split between 118 king rooms and 92 twin rooms, each 21 square metres. Its availability makes it a practical choice when the hotel is busy during school holidays or major events in the city.
Grand Premier Room
The Grand Premier Room is 31 square metres and comes in king or twin configurations, with 40 rooms of each. It is the largest room type the official website lists.
Traveloka's listing notes in-room facilities including air conditioning, a desk, a hairdryer, an in-room safe, a refrigerator, a shower and a TV, plus in-room accessibility features. Amenities can vary by room, so see the individual room listing for the exact inclusions. The hotel's FAQ states that extra beds are not provided, while cribs appear on Traveloka's facility list, so request one in advance if you need it.
Facilities and Amenities
For a 3-star property, Sleeping Lion Suites has a generous recreation offering. The pool is the headline: the official site describes its infinity swimming pool as one that "curiously parallels itself along the rooftops" of the surrounding city buildings, with a separate wading pool for children. Traveloka's listing confirms an outdoor pool and a children's pool.
- Pools: infinity pool and wading pool, according to the hotel's website; Traveloka lists an outdoor pool and a children's pool.
- Wellness: a sauna (listed by both Traveloka and the hotel) and a steam bath (listed by the hotel).
- Fitness: the official website lists a gymnasium with city views; it does not appear on Traveloka's facility list, so confirm access with the hotel if it matters to you.
- Green spaces: a garden is listed on Traveloka, and the hotel describes its Garden of Dreams as a trail lined with greenery and flora. The Sky Bridge offers another view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, and the Yoga Deck is set up for morning yoga with a view of the city.
- Connectivity: Free WiFi, including WiFi in public areas.
- Services: 24-hour receptionist, 24-hour security, concierge, bellhop, laundry service, luggage storage and multilingual staff.
- Accessibility: the property is listed as wheelchair accessible, with accessible parking and in-room accessibility.
- Parking: secure on-site parking is available for a charge.
Meetings and events
Traveloka lists a conference room, meeting facilities and a projector. The hotel's website names seven function rooms. Aquarius, Libra, Aries and Taurus each take up to 30 guests theatre-style or 14 in a boardroom set-up; Scorpio takes up to 100 theatre-style; and the two largest rooms, Gemini and Leo, each hold up to 150 theatre-style or 100 for a banquet. Gemini is known for a ceiling designed to evoke stars and galaxies, which makes it a memorable setting for a company townhall or product launch.
Location and Getting There
Sleeping Lion Suites is in Bukit Bintang, the shopping and entertainment district at the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The hotel's own location page lists approximate walking times to the area's key landmarks:
- Bukit Bintang MRT station - about 4 minutes
- Pavilion Kuala Lumpur - about 4 minutes
- TRX - about 5 minutes
- Low Yat Plaza - about 5 minutes
- Bukit Bintang Monorail station - about 5 minutes
- Berjaya Times Square - about 7 minutes
- Jalan Alor - about 9 minutes
- Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre - about 13 minutes
- Petronas Twin Towers - about 15 minutes
- KLCC Park - about 17 minutes
- LaLaport Bukit Bintang - about 20 minutes
Having both an MRT and a Monorail station within a short walk is a real advantage for getting around, as it links the hotel to the rest of the city's rail network without needing a taxi. Travellers from Singapore can book flights to Kuala Lumpur on Traveloka and continue by rail or e-hailing into Bukit Bintang. Traveloka's listing does not show an airport transfer service, so plan your own onward transport from the airport.
If you drive, note the parking rules. The hotel charges a fee per entry per day, and the official FAQ and Traveloka's policy both mention a car park cut-off time of 3:00 PM, with extra charges possible for vehicles left beyond it. Check the latest terms with the hotel before you arrive.
Dining at and near Sleeping Lion Suites
Traveloka's listing includes a cafe and a coffee shop, as well as coffee and tea in the lobby. However, the hotel's website does not list a named restaurant, and Traveloka records room service as not available. Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate you book, so check the room description for meal details and confirm cafe opening hours at the front desk.
In practice, most guests will eat out, and the neighbourhood makes that easy. The hotel's own Bukit Bintang Food Trail highlights several spots nearby:
- Jalan Alor: described by the hotel as the cultural heart of KL's local cuisine, about a 9-minute walk away.
- Changkat: a popular area for bars and evening dining.
- Hutong Lot 10: local Malaysian favourites in the basement of Lot 10.
- J's Gate Dining: Japanese cuisine, also at Lot 10.
- Pavilion Tokyo Street: Japanese street food inside Pavilion.
- Starhill Dining: a fine-dining cluster with Western and Eastern cuisines.
Between meals, you can find things to do in Kuala Lumpur, from city tours to attraction tickets, to fill your days around Bukit Bintang.
Why Stay at Sleeping Lion Suites
The main reason is location paired with scale. Few properties put a newly built 37-floor hotel, with its own pool and wellness facilities, a short walk from both Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and the Bukit Bintang MRT station. With 906 rooms, it also tends to have a wider choice of room types and bed layouts than smaller boutique stays nearby.
- Shoppers: the hotel's shopping guide lists Pavilion Bukit Bintang, Lot 10, Fahrenheit 88, The Starhill, Sungei Wang Plaza, Plaza Low Yat, Berjaya Times Square, Suria KLCC, LaLaport Bukit Bintang and the Isetan Japan Store within reach.
- Families: a wading pool for children, cribs on request, and the hotel's policy that children up to 12 years old stay free when using existing bedding with their parents.
- Business travellers: seven zodiac-named meeting rooms, Free WiFi and a 24-hour receptionist.
- Wellness-minded guests: an infinity pool, sauna and steam bath, plus a Yoga Deck for an early session before a day in the city.

Tips for Booking Sleeping Lion Suites on Traveloka
- Pick the right tier and size. Junior rooms are 19 square metres with a king bed only; standard rooms are 21 square metres; Grand rooms are 31 square metres. If you need two separate beds, choose a Superior, Deluxe, Premier or any Grand room in its twin layout.
- Mind the check-in times. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Early check-in and late check-out may be arranged with the hotel for an additional charge.
- Bring identification. An ID card is required at check-in (a soft copy is accepted), and the minimum check-in age is 21. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
- Expect Malaysia's tourism tax. Guests who are not Malaysian citizens or permanent residents pay a per-room, per-night tourism tax at check-in, collected by the hotel.
- Smoking and pets. Smoking is allowed only in the designated smoking area, and the hotel's FAQ notes that smoking in rooms is prohibited. Pets are not allowed.
- Driving in? Factor in the paid parking and the 3:00 PM car park cut-off mentioned in the hotel policy.
- Check meal inclusions. Look at whether breakfast is part of the rate you select, as dining arrangements vary.
When your stay is sorted, head to the Traveloka homepage to plan the rest of your Kuala Lumpur trip.
