Discover the stories around Cosmo Hotel
While enjoying your stay at Cosmo Hotel, take some time to explore the fascinating heritage surrounding the hotel on a guided tip-based walking tour that begins at the Cosmo Lounge.
You may be surprised to discover that the hotel stands along one of Kuala Lumpur’s oldest streets and is just a short walk from the birthplace of the city—where two rivers meet.
Located on the eastern bank of the Klang River, where an early Malay settlement once began a century ago, the walk traces the historic riverbanks before continuing through the northern part of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown and into the colonial district on the western side of the city.
Along the way, discover the stories behind city’s early beginnings, its pioneering settlers and the communities that shaped the city. You’ll also encounter a fascinating mix of historic buildings, traditional places of worship, old streets, colourful murals and restored heritage spaces.
