8 Best Hotels In Johor Bahru: From Charming Boutique Staycations To Luxurious 5-Star Hotels

1. Amari

The Amari Johor Bahru, which debuted in May 2017, has captured my attention with its remarkably fresh appearance and ambiance. Located conveniently across from Komtar mall, where you can also discover the Angry Bird Activity Park, this central position, combined with their competitive room rates, makes them an even more compelling choice compared to Doubletree.

The room was impeccably modern and tastefully adorned, and what I particularly appreciated was its generous size. Above the headboard, there was a captivating purple motif that not only infused the room with warmth but also imbued it with character. And for those who can’t go without a reliable internet connection, rest assured that the hotel provides complimentary Wi-Fi. For families with young children, the option to request a baby cot is available, adding to the convenience of your stay. And here’s something that has already convinced us to return: when the opportunity arises, we’ll definitely be booking Deluxe rooms with pool access!
