Built around an artificial lake, this new city is a showcase for trends in contemporary Malaysian architecture: a Mughal-style courthouse, a Safavid-inspired mosque, a conference centre reminiscent of a flying saucer and futuristic bridges. The whole thing is monumental, brand new, but... soulless. The Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside hotel, close to the convention centre, has opted for a multi-faceted architecture, with each of its buildings symbolising one of the country's ethnic minorities. 281 rooms and suites, a resort atmosphere and open-air dining by the lake.
