Learn more about hotels in Johor Bahru

The story of Johor Bahru is as intriguing as the city itself. Its journey from a simple fishing village known as Tanjung Puteri to the bustling city it is today, started in the 19th century. The city was under the rule of the Japanese during WWII, bearing witness to numerous historical events, including the foundation of the United Malays National Organisation in 1946.

Whether known by names such as Iskandar Puteri or "Little Swatow" by the local Chinese community, Johor Bahru's facelifts reflect its evolution into the vibrant and culturally diverse city we know today. It’s a melting pot for business, with an impressive status as the financial centre and logistics hub of the whole of southern Malaysia. In incessant development and expansion, especially through the ambitious Iskandar Malaysia project, Johor Bahru exemplifies evolutionary triumph.

When to visit Johor Bahru

Johor Bahru enjoys an equatorial climate with no shortage of rainfall making its tropical allure a year-round affair. However, for more predictably sunny weather, consider visiting in February, June, July, August, or September. These months are typically drier, tangibly lifting the city's vibrant spirit.

Please note, with glorious weather, there also comes an influx of tourists, particularly in June, July, and August. Those seeking a bit of tranquillity can plan their visit between January and April when the city sees fewer tourists. But a bonus for the budget traveller: January sees the lowest hotel prices. No matter when you plan to travel, our team at Lycafly can ensure you find the ideal accommodation to suit your individual preferences and budget.
