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.

I’m writing this review because I have subsequently stayed at the Majestic Hotel and it provided a useful comparison for me.

I’m writing this review because I have subsequently stayed at the Majestic Hotel and it provided a useful comparison for me. While this hotel is undoubtedly a very good one, it suffers from the same anonymous but blingy quality as all other hotels in this chain. The hotel is located in the new area of the city and this only adds to the sense of ennui for me. Big, gold and showy like a piece of Trump merchandise but obviously well run nonetheless. Read less

The location is ideal to walk to malls and PETRONAS towers , the local knowledge as to where to shop and eat was invaluable. Pay up for the extra comfort of a horizon club floor the lounge is exceptional , food great and drinks cooling and quenching. We loved every moment and want to say to the management , how much we enjoyed interacting with all their staff. We will be back again soon ! Read less

This hotel was amazing. Unfortunately we got off on a bad foot as our travel agent didn’t book in our breakfast so after a very long (almost 24 hours of travelling) we had to call our agent from reception and sort the breakfast out before we were shown our room.

This hotel was amazing. Unfortunately we got off on a bad foot as our travel agent didn’t book in our breakfast so after a very long (almost 24 hours of travelling) we had to call our agent from reception and sort the breakfast out before we were shown our room. All we wanted to do was sleep! The room itself was just perfect. It was very spacious and the bathroom was so big and clean! Our room was turned down and cleaned without fail every single day. But THE most amazing thing about this hotel is the breakfast; I have never stayed at a hotel with so many different choices at breakfast, me and the hubby were in food heaven (more so me due to the chocolate fountain and doughnut wall ha). We absolutely loved this hotel and it was the most amazing start to our very special honeymoon! Read less

Buffebreakfast had a lot to offer! From european, chinase to malay treats. Only minus was the busy time we had breakfast but definitely worth the money for breakfast. Room was very nice and we also enjoyed the gym and spa section. Sauna was a great suprice for a finn! Pool was nice although we did not have time to use it. Staff is extrenely friendly and you definitely get service here. Overall would definitely recommend if you want to pamper yourself. 5 stars. Read less
