Carcosa Seri Negara, hotel in Kuala Lumpur
Carcosa Seri Negara is a hotel in a Gothic Revival mansion located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The property comprises two connected structures originally designed as a private residence for British colonial officials.
The mansion was built in the late 1800s as a residence for senior British administrators. Following Malaysia's independence, it became a national historic building and was later converted into a luxury hotel.
The property sits on a hilltop overlooking the city and can be reached by car or public transportation from Kuala Lumpur. The surroundings are green and quiet, making it easy to spend time here whether you stay overnight or visit for a meal or tour.
The name comes from Sanskrit and means palace, reflecting its former royal significance. The blend of architectural heritage with contemporary hospitality creates a space where colonial history and modern comfort coexist.
