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.

We chose the Shangri-La because of its excellent location. It was an easy walk to many sites such as Petronas Towers, the Menara KL tower, and also to many good restaurants. There is a shuttle service provided to a couple of locations but drop off only, no pick up. The pool area is beautifully serene and a perfect place to cool down and… Read more
We chose the Shangri-La because of its excellent location. It was an easy walk to many sites such as Petronas Towers, the Menara KL tower, and also to many good restaurants. There is a shuttle service provided to a couple of locations but drop off only, no pick up. The pool area is beautifully serene and a perfect place to cool down and relax after a hot day of sightseeing. There is an adult’s only area of the pool deck. Although there were not many people around the pool when we were there, an adult’s only area could be nice on busier days. The rooms and bathrooms were good size and the bed was very comfortable. It would be nice to have a bit more counter space in the bathroom. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff , thoughtfully, had left a birthday cake and roses for us. All of the staff we encountered were very helpful, pleasant, and prompt. We were leaving ridiculously early in the morning and a pastry tray was in the lobby for us to have as a light breakfast on our ride to the airport . It is the extra touches that mean a lot while traveling and the Shangri- La provided those. Read less

I been there for a short rest before having an interview. When my father and I first came in, the staffs were very friendly and asked us do we need any helps. Although we just taking a rest at the rest area, they also take a good care of us. A luxury and nice view hotel.

I took one star off because the rooms are very dated. While spacious (we had a corner suite), it felt like a trip to the 90s. The mahogany coloured furniture and fittings made the room look old and didn't give off a 5 star vibe. The showers need upgrades. Having said that, this hotel has wonderful restaurants (love the Japanese) and facilities.… Read more

Having said that, this hotel has wonderful restaurants (love the Japanese) and facilities. Club access is a nice touch, the gym is well stocked and clean, service is fantastic. Would stay again when the rooms are upgraded. Read less

We booked a room that gave us access to the lounge and I highly recommend you do the same. In the lounge you can have breakfast, afternoon tea (3-5pm) and Cocktails and canopes (5-7pm). The food and drink is of the highest quality and the service is second to none. Our suite was huge and so well laid out. The whole hotel is stunning, you just… Read more
