You'll be generally fine in the central area. Key would be to dress modestly as Malay Malaysian women (and non-Malay Malaysian women) generally do.
In terms of the hotel itself, the Doubletree is the least expensive option, and it also is where I would receive the most benefits due to my Hilton status. I know that the Doubletree is not a five star property, but I think it should be fine for my needs.
The Doubletree was perfectly fine the last time I visited (albeit 3 years ago). Not bad location either. Nice lounge as far as benefits go. Reasonably close to the mass transit line.
