Pullman Lakeside Putrajaya: Picture-Perfect Hotel In Putrajaya

Posted by Mimi on 23 February 2010

An old friend from my alma mater, Ateneo De Manila University, was attending a conference in Malaysia last week and I had the chance to visit her at her hotel — the picturesque Pullman Lakeside Putrajaya.

The sprawling hotel — as its name indicates — is located right next to the man-made Putrajaya Lake, which made for a picture-perfect foreground for this photo of the hotel. (Please click on the photo below to see a larger version.)

The colour of the sky, the puffy white clouds, the reflection of the buildings on the water, the greenery beside the water — all these elements somehow remind me so much of the Netherlands.

And just wait ’til you see the view from the guest rooms! (Once again, please click on the photo below to see a larger version.)

This one’s from a guest room located in the Jasmine wing, which is decorated in keeping with the Borneo theme. With such a view, if I stayed in this place, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to leave…

[NB: The hotel wants to give guests a taste of Malaysia’s multicultural background, hence various areas of the hotel are designed with different themes, i.e. ethnic Malay, Chinese, Indian, and the Borneo continent.]

The hotel is just a stone’s throw from Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), making the Pullman Lakeside Putrajaya ideal if you happen to be attending an event at PICC.

I must warn you, however, that Putrajaya is quite far from KL city centre — a good 40 minutes or so by car via the new dedicated Putrajaya highway. So if you intend to do some sightseeing or long to experience KL’s shopping and nightlife, this might not be the right hotel for you.

But if you want to get away from it all without really going that far from KL, this hotel will definitely fit the bill.
