Did the hotel email you to let you know you were upgraded to the executive floor or did the system reflect that before you checked in? Currently shows no availability for executive rooms on the dates that I booked, might have sold out. The rooms on weekends are more expensive than the ones at Hilton KL, which is a cat 4 property. Might have a good level of occupancy on weekends, being near to so many attractions.
Hi there investortiger. To answer your question, no, you won't get any email about room upgrades unless you email the hotel first asking for an upgrade. You can call the hotel up, and ask for an upgrade. Or, you can check youe reservation online, the day before your check in date, and see if your room type has been upgraded. Some hotels upgrade elite members during check in, but most hiltons actually assign room upgrades at night for next day arrivals.
I actually like hilton kl more. Because as a diamond I usually get upgraded to a suite.
the dtkl has a good location. It's a ten minute walk to klcc, which is definitely doable. Executive rooms don't usually get sold out. I hope you will get upgraded to at least an exec room because the lounge offers so much. A great view of the klcc from the balcony, great staff and service, good variety of offering, predinner that can easily substitute for dinner, etc etc.
ask for lounge access even if exec room upgrade is not available. I think you should checj in at the lounge because I find the staff there more willing to help. The lounge is on 33rd floor.
hope you will have an enjoyable stay in dtkl.
Have fun! ^
