As a note, this isn’t a paid post 😉
How I Found the Hidden Camera Museum at Gold 3 Hotel, KL
I never knew that there was a stylish and affordable boutique hotel in the alley of Bukit Bintang until my childhood friend messaged me on Instagram.
So, he went for a holiday to KL, stayed at Gold 3 Boutique Hotel but alas – left his brand new jacket in his room.
He asked if I could do him a favour by picking up the jacket from the hotel and keeping it until his next visit to Malaysia.
As the location of the hotel is near my church, I agreed.
It is actually in the alley beside Ansa Hotel. Go further down the road and the hotel will be on your left side.
Before I went to Gold 3 Boutique Hotel, I researched the hotel as I never heard about it before.
To my surprise, it’s a very stylish, artistic boutique hotel! And when I reached there, I found out that there’s a Camera Museum on the 1st floor.
WOW! What a lucky day!
No wonder there are different types of cameras in the lobby, used by the hotel as decorations.
A Hidden KL Destination: The Vintage Camera Museum at Gold 3 Boutique Hotel
From the modern-minimalist interior design with splashes of black, white and gold colours, you will be transported back to many, many years ago once the lift takes you to the camera museum.
The first floor of the hotel is divided into two areas – the spacious, modern lounge and the vintage camera museum.
Believe me, you will love the contrasting feeling. As if you’re in two different time zones at the same time!
I went there alone for the first time and I regret it because nobody could help me take photos. The second time, I brought my mom along so we could help each other, hehe!
You will find many types of cameras such as the Brownie (1953), Golden H (1974) to Canon EOS 40D (2007) displayed there.
