HiveFest is exactly NOT just about gathering at conference halls. It's about coming together, ideally under one roof. And we’ve secured that roof. Welcome to The Kuala Lumpur Journal Hotel, your official basecamp this October 15-19 in the heart of Bukit Bintang. Read on to learn more about the HiveFest Greatest Rates™️ early booking and our temp HQ in KL!
📍 Let's stay together
Staying in the same hotel means way more than just convenience. It means spontaneous hallway chats, shared breakfasts, strolls to venues, and an instant social vibe. Whether you're arriving early or staying late, this is the HiveFest core, the place where transport to venues starts (if applicable), side events will pop up, and the HiveFam naturally reconnects in 🤿 The Swimming Club.

🌅 The Swimming Club
The rooftop infinity pool is an absolute highlight. You can sip cocktails under palm fronds, watch the city lights shimmer below, and catch up with fellow Hivers in a truly tropical setting. It’s one of KL’s most Instagrammable rooftops and a great spot for informal side events or a quick dip in the morning?
🏙️ The Location: Bukit Bintang
Step outside and you’re in the thick of it. Bukit Bintang is KL’s beating heart: full of energy, color, and culture.
You’ll be minutes from:
- Jalan Alor: the street food capital of Malaysia. Think grilled stingray, handmade noodles, BBQ chicken wings, and yes — frog porridge.
- Changkat: KL’s nightlife strip. Bars, cocktails, and post-panel dancing.
- Low Yat Plaza: gadget heaven for the techie in you.
- Massage & reflexology spots: not that kind. The real kind.

💸 The Deal: Group Booking = ~30% Off - act fast. Be smart.
The hotel offered a discounted rate, with breakfast(s) included:
- Deluxe King Room: MYR 300++ / night (single)
- Deluxe King Room: MYR 320++ / night (double occupancy (double bed))
- Deluxe Triple Room: MYR 400++ / night (for those who want 2 separate beds)
Forex Reference: 300 MYR = 69 USD = 62 EUR
This is approximately 30% off the hotel’s public rates on a certain blue Booking site. And it includes breakfast, minibar refills, rooftop access, and that glorious afternoon wine hour (not certain if you have time for that tho).
But here’s the catch: this group rate is limited and runs until the end of June. After that, a deal in some form still continues but the group rooms may be gone, and rates will shift to “Best Available Hotel Rate with HiveFest discount.”
