Hotels You Can Walk To From Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)

Sepang, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur International has walkable hotels at both terminals, but they are not interchangeable. Sama-Sama Hotel is linked to Terminal 1 by a covered walkway, while Tune Hotel and Capsule by Container Hotel connect to klia2 through the Gateway@klia2 mall.

The two terminals are about two kilometres apart and connected by train, so book against the terminal your flight actually uses. Doing so removes the shuttle and about 20–30 minutes from an early departure.
