In Kuala Lumpur's Taman Seputeh district, the Trés Hotel brings deliberate cinematic styling to a 1950s building once occupied by Chinese clan associations.
Spread in the former building of the Ray Parc Hotel, this 86-room boutique hotel wears its Wes Anderson inspiration openly. From symmetrical compositions and pastel color palette to the precisely arranged retro items - like the vintage TV, vinyl player, and LP records in the lobby. They aren't just decorative either. You can hear some classics played throughout the lounge for vintage vibes.
The building of Trés was a bland block until its full renovation, which blessed it with Wes Anderson styling - a dollhouse-like facade with its trademark color palette and eye-pleasing symmetry.
Uniquely shaped windows in the lobby
Unlike The Grand Budapest Hotel which is fictional, The Trés is one of KL's most affordable hotels with picture-perfect styling on every square centimeter of its facade and interiors.
Opened in 2022 by a group of Malaysian architects and designers, The Trés is positioned in Kuala Lumpur's affordable boutique hotels category, competing mainly on unique design rather than extensive services.
The interiors showcase a great attention to visual harmony, with retro patterned wallpapers executed in Anderson's characteristic flat perspective.
Perfect retro aesthetic with smartly chosen props and furnishings
The ground floor houses a café serving Wes Anderson-inspired breakfasts with tasty cafés and pastries that draw weekend crowds from beyond the hotel's guest list.
Standard Room
Rooms vary from compact 25-square-metre spaces to more generous 40-square-metre suites, all furnished with mid-century modern pieces and brass accents against mint green, salmon pink, and wallpapered walls.
Deluxe Room
Suites in styles of Wes Anderson films
Rushmore Suite
The Moonrise and Rushmore suites were named after the iconic Wes Anderson films.
Bathrooms continue the stylistic commitment with retro tiling and fixtures, though plumbing in the heritage building occasionally shows its age.
Both suites have freestanding bathtubs
Moonrise Suite
The Bangsar station sits twenty minutes away, connecting you to key city destinations like the KLCC towers, approximately 15 minutes by train. However, as walkability is limited in the area, your best bet is the Mid Valley City, which is only a 5-minute ride from the hotel.
