Resorts World Genting is an oasis 6,000 feet above sea level and amongst the clouds for luxury getaways, families looking to spend quality time together, and even business travellers. With seven hotels to choose from (yes, count ‘em, seven), it can be perplexing to make a decision to suit your needs for your upcoming stay. To enable you to make an informed choice, we’ve created a guide to our hotels from the most luxurious, to the one for those on a budget. Note that during peak periods, even most of the 10,500 can get filled up, so make sure to book early!

Crockfords

Great For: Honeymoon couples, luxury travellers

This is the crème de la crème of all hotels at the resort. All Crockfords suites feature an in-room private steam bath, luxurious Greek Calacatta marble restroom fixtures, and sweeping vistas of the surrounding rainforest. It is also the only hotel in Malaysia to receive the prestigious 5-star rating by the Forbes Travel Guide for six consecutive years (2019 – 2024) and even has a butler service to cater to your every need, like drawing a bubble bath. There are even unique Executive Suite types: Gym (includes high-end Italian gym system), Tatami (includes Zen tea ceremony space), and Mahjong (includes automatic mahjong table). Dine at the exclusive Crockfords Café for breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. We recommend the Supreme Nasi Lemak with Lobster for an indulgent breakfast. 

There isn’t an in-house spa & gym, but there is a complimentary shuttle service to use the facilities at Genting Grand. The use of the swimming pool at Level 18 of Highlands Hotel is also complimentary.

Genting Grand

Great For: Luxury travellers, spa lovers

Another beacon of opulence at the resort, the hotel has been a verified 4-star luxury property by the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide for seven consecutive years (2018 – 2024). However, note that the 4-star luxury ranking is by Forbes’ own standards only and it’s actually a 5-star hotel. Its location offers easy access to all the attractions at the resort and a step outside its lobby will offer you a gorgeous view of the rolling mists. It includes the M Spa which offers therapeutic massages and unlimited daily access to its gym.

Highlands Hotel

Great For: Luxury travellers

Another 5-star hotel, this one is situated adjacent to Genting Grand. Service here is also exemplary and the hotel is verified and recommended by the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide 2023. The most luxurious is The Villa, a 2,300 sq ft suite with a private jacuzzi. It has an exceptional heated pool on Level 18 with views of clouds and hills. You can also opt for a quiet breakfast on Level 16 without having to jostle with crowds. Otherwise, there are also many eateries located within a minute’s walk from the lobby.

Resort Hotel

Great For: Business travellers, couples

This 3-star hotel is another pleasant option, offering plush beds and amenities for your stay without the luxury hotel price tag. It is also in a quieter part of the resort, which makes it great for those staying for business purposes.

Genting SkyWorlds Hotel

Great For: Theme park lovers, concert-goers, families, large groups

This hotel is right at the doorstep of the Genting SkyWorlds theme park, the SkyAvenue mall and the Arena of Stars, so it’s the perfect option for those wanting to be in the thick of things. There are Quads and Sixers rooms for big groups, so you can all be in one room. The lobby is decorated in vibrant colours, features the Genting’s Highland Heroes characters, and even has a mini slide to get the kids excited!

First World Hotel

Great For: Best value finders

For those who want to have a getaway at the resort and escape the infernal heat of our country but have a limited budget, this is the place for you. It is also in the Guinness World Records for having a whopping 7,351 rooms. Go for the Standard Room if you’re the type who just needs a place to rest your head. Otherwise, upgrade to the World Club Room. It is in the heart of Resorts World Genting, giving guests easy access to key locations such as the First World Plaza, SkyAvenue, Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park, and Genting International Convention Centre. Opt for the Y5 Deluxe Room or the Y5 Triple Room if you’re visiting in a group of three. You can also have a buffet breakfast at the Food Factory to fill up before making your way downtown.

Resorts World Awana

Great For: Golfers, Nature lovers

If you’d rather be somewhat removed from the excitement at the top but still be close enough for the fun, this is your best bet. The hotel is located at the mid-hill point at 3,100 feet above sea level. There is a heated pool, an 18-hole mountainous course which doubles as a stunning landscape as well as a 130-million-year-old rainforest for multi-level trekking and exotic bird watching. There are also F&B options here including AYU Awana, Malaysia’s first tropical lifestyle restaurant and poolside lounge.

Shuttle bus services are complimentary for our in-house guests and run hourly from Resorts World Awana to Awana SkyCentral/ Genting Highlands Premium Outlets and vice versa.
