The hotel

A worthy member of the upscale Shangri-La family, this luxury Malaysian hotel embodies the group’s legendary qualities: decadent styling, exquisite dining, a catalogue of glamourous rooms and suites, and an elite and desirable setting. Taking references from the lush urban parks of Kuala Lumpur, the hotel’s pool is bordered by greenery, its gym’s running machines look out onto leafy landscaping, and the lobby lounge features a window wall with indescribably stunning views into the tropical gardens. It’s not forgotten its city centre location though, with ritzy restaurants, bars, and lounges fitting for its spot in Malaysia’s main metropolis. Just a 5-minute walk from the Petronas Twin Towers, this sanctuary is primed for guests drawn to KL for the shopping districts, culture, or simply the parks.

What can I say but just an amazing experience from Shangri-la as always. Spacious rooms and great buffet spread. Attentive staff always at hand to ensure you have a pleasant stay. Only suggestion if the rooms can be better lighted. Hotel is walking distance to KLCC and Hard Rock Cafe.

Not a bad hotel in comparison to other central KL options. Very busy with families. Buffet restaurant is very busy, noisy, lots of kids and terrible service. La Fite restaurant nice but opening time is 7pm.

We are just checking out the hotel and we inly staid here for one night. It’s our honeymoon and they upgraded our room without our request. The hotel is amazingly maintained and very beautiful. We had a request to change our bed sheet at our arrival and they didn’t hesitate to send housekeeping staff in under a minute to change it and offered us to change the room for us if we like to which was not necessary. The service is absolutely 5 star, all staff are friendly, nice and helpful. We loved the security at check-in and the fact that elevator needs card to go up. Don’t, Don’t miss the breakfast. Absolutely one of the best we have ever had. Variety of Oriental, Hendi, Arabic and western choices. You won’t be disappointed at all, the value is super great. By the way I loved how elevator floor announcement bell sound, cute and victorian :). Thanks for the great stay. Read less

Large Breakfast restaurant, with a massive choice. My only disappointment Beef Bacon!!!! and Chicken Sausages, not my thing. everything else very good. The staff were very polite, helpful and attentive, everything is done with a smile. It was my friends 40th wedding anniversary, Flowers on arrival and a cake left in their room, ( I did inform Sarah from travel bags when I booked this hotel ) overall excelent. Read less
