Rush-hour commuting, cleaning out your wardrobe, preparing your taxes—the world is full of mundane activities waiting to ambush 120 minutes of your precious time. And when you’re far from home, on a business trip packed with long days of meetings and long evenings of reports, the last thing you want to do is squander your only two free hours looking for a decent place to eat or shop. So here’s the answer: VIVE’s two-hour guide to getting the most out of any city you’re in, no matter how briefly.

But don’t tell anyone: once the word is out, Kuala Lumpur may just lose its magic. TRAVEL NOTES RACHAEL OAKES-ASH Indulge in spa treatments at the Mandarin Oriental Vitality Club.
