Hotels in Genting Highlands

Genting Highlands is a hilltop resort town in Pahang, Malaysia, reached by road or by the Awana SkyWay cable car about an hour from Kuala Lumpur. Cool mountain air, the Resorts World Genting hotel towers, and family attractions like Genting SkyWorlds and First World Plaza give the hilltop its year-round draw.

Genting Highlands sits atop the Titiwangsa mountain range in Pahang, roughly an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur, and the cool highland air is the first thing most visitors notice after the ride up the Awana SkyWay cable car. Stays here cluster around the Resorts World Genting complex, where hotel towers connect directly to First World Plaza, Sky Avenue and the indoor-outdoor rides of Genting SkyWorlds, so guests move between rooms, restaurants and attractions without stepping outside into the mist. Families come for the theme park and connected amenities, couples for the cooler climate and resort dining, and business groups for the convention halls built into the same complex. Room categories and rates vary widely across the hilltop, from simple aparthotels down in Gohtong Jaya to the towers that overlook First World Plaza itself.

What to expect

  • First World Plaza for shopping, dining and the walkway into Resorts World Genting
  • Genting SkyWorlds theme park with indoor and outdoor rides
  • The Awana SkyWay cable car linking the valley station to the hilltop
  • Chin Swee Caves Temple partway down the mountain
  • Cool highland temperatures year-round, a contrast to Kuala Lumpur's heat
  • Convention halls inside Resorts World Genting for meetings and conferences

Local tips

  • Book the Awana SkyWay cable car ahead on weekends, queues build fast at the valley station.
  • Pack a light jacket, the hilltop stays noticeably cooler than Kuala Lumpur at any time of year.
  • Stay inside the Resorts World Genting complex if late-night access to Sky Avenue and First World Plaza matters to you.
  • Head to Gohtong Jaya for quieter, lower-priced stays a short drive below the main hilltop.
  • Visit on weekdays, weekends bring day-trippers from Kuala Lumpur who crowd the plazas and cable car.

Where to stay

FAQ

Which neighborhoods are best for staying in Genting Highlands?

Most visitors base themselves inside the Resorts World Genting complex for direct access to First World Plaza and Genting SkyWorlds, while Gohtong Jaya lower down the hill suits travelers who want quieter, less crowded stays.

What kind of resorts will I find in Genting Highlands?

The hilltop mixes large integrated resort towers connected to shopping and entertainment complexes with smaller aparthotels and boutique stays scattered around Gohtong Jaya and the residences below the main plaza.

When is the best time to visit Genting Highlands?

The highland climate stays cool year-round, so timing matters more for crowds than weather: weekdays and periods outside Malaysian school holidays are quieter than weekends, when day-trippers fill the cable car and plazas.

How do you get to Genting Highlands from Kuala Lumpur?

Most travelers drive up via the Karak Highway or take a bus to the valley station and ride the Awana SkyWay cable car to the hilltop, a trip that takes roughly an hour door to door.
