School holidays are here — and if you’re wondering how to make the most of them without breaking the bank or traveling too far, we’ve got just the spot for you. Picture this: a relaxing getaway where the kids are entertained, the food is delicious, and the whole family can finally kick back and enjoy some real quality time together.

 

Sounds good? Then say hello to DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam i-City — your choice of destination for family fun, comfort, and just the right amount of pampering.

 

1. A Sweet Start to Your Holiday

 

From the moment we stepped into the elegant lobby of DoubleTree by Hilton i-City Shah Alam, we felt a wave of calm and comfort. Let’s be honest: nothing kicks off a holiday like a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie. At DoubleTree, that’s exactly what you get at check-in (a hit with the kids!). The check-in was smooth and friendly.

 

But the great experience doesn’t stop there.

 

2. Space to Stretch, Relax & Play

 

Whether you’re a family of three or travelling with the whole gang (grandparents included!), the hotel’s spacious rooms and suites have you covered. Big comfy beds, i-City theme park views, and the option to request cribs or rollaway beds mean everyone sleeps happily and wakes up ready for adventure.

 

 

Need connecting rooms? Just ask. The team here is all about making life easier for families.

 

3. Pool Time = Happy Kids

 

Our first stop? The pool, of course. The outdoor swimming pool was a hit with the whole family. Kids and pools are a match made in holiday heaven — and DoubleTree’s pool doesn’t disappoint.

 

 

There’s a dedicated section for little ones to splash safely, and parents can enjoy the jacuzzi pool or kick back with a drink or a book. Win-win.

 

Want to stay out of the sun? Head to the shade or enjoy a snack from the poolside menu. Lazy afternoons never felt so good.

 

 

4. Meals Everyone Will Love

 

Family dining can be tricky, but not here. The Makan Kitchen offers a wide array of local and international cuisine, there was something for everyone — from fresh seafood and grilled meats to fragrant curries and delightful desserts.

 

One of the highlights was the Shell Out, a seafood lover’s dream come true. Piled high with fresh crabs, prawns, mussels, and squid drenched in rich Thai sauces, it was served in true communal style — right on the table for everyone to dig in. The flavours were bold and satisfying, and we had a blast donning gloves and getting messy in the best way possible.

 

5. Just Minutes from i-City Adventures

 

One of the best things about this hotel? It’s right next to i-City — Shah Alam’s very own mini theme park paradise! Just take a short walk from the hotel, and the park comes alive with colourful lights and buzzing energy. From light installations and carnival rides to virtual reality experiences, it was a fun-filled evening that kept smiles on everyone’s faces. The convenience of being so close to such entertainment made all the difference.

 

 

But the highlight of our staycation had to be SnoWalk at i-City. We spent most of our time there, and it was an unforgettable experience! Stepping into the icy wonderland was like being transported to a different world — complete with ice sculptures, snow slides, and even an igloo village. The kids couldn’t get enough of the snow play area, and the temperature drop added an exciting twist to our tropical holiday. It’s not every day you get to bundle up in winter jackets and play in snow, right in the middle of Shah Alam!
