Finishing first visit to KL and booked at the Shangri-La last minute. GC membership resulted in 3 for 2 deal on a lovely and large 1 bdrm suite w Horizon Club privileges. Eff rate, tax inclusive is about US$300/nt. Sadly, that deal expires in a couple nights.

Regardless, the quality of the accommodation is first-rate. Bright room, comfortable bed, large bathroom with excellent water pressure and temp control in shower, fixtures and furnishings in excellent condition. Staff couldn't be more accommodating (with one minor special request exception). Regular housekeeping service plus turndown plus additional refreshment as needed. Laundry service quick and as promised. Tech functionality is more than sufficient, including fast wireless and a plug panel that seems to have one of everything (except a dedicated 110v outlet, but no big deal). Nespresso machine and hot water boiler en suite.

Horizon Club room on second floor is spacious, luxurious and amazingly well provisioned during daytime hours. I didn't partake in the food, but expect one could take all meals there if desired. Open until 11:30pm for coffee, tea and soft drinks after regular service ends around 7:30pm.

The overall quality reminds me of the Bangkok Pen of around 6-8 years ago. Room equivalent to the Grand Deluxe suite, though without the spectacular view. On this trip, the space compares favorably to the HK MO and is definitely nicer than the suite/experience I had at the MO Singapore (which felt like a convention hotel not a luxury retreat).

Not sure when I'm likely to return to KL (want to go to Penang if back in Malaysia), but if I were going any time soon at least, this is the place I would stay without hesitation.
