I like the Shangri La, particularly at Club Level. The Club suites (particularly those with the curved windows) were very nice on my last stay. Although regularly modernised over the years, The Shangri-La is an older hotel than the Sheraton Imperial -I think that was only built about 15 years ago, whereas the Shangri La I think dates back the 80s.

My Mother and Father last time in KL stayed at The Ritz Carlton, they enjoyed it but said it was very much a boutique hotel with a residential feel. Like me, they prefer a hotel that's a bit more lively. If out in KL again they've said they'd probably go to the MO, as they've always enjoyed eating there.

Like others have said, KL is a little spread out with various centres, but they are easily reached by reliable and cheap taxis.

I don't think KL is a high yield city for a lot of Hotel operators and therefore the hotels tend to be just a notch down from other places such as Hong Kong - I don't think you'll find many operators claiming their KL outlets as their flagship operations.
