While generally I agree when you look at the fact it seems to be low occupancy quite a bit and its rates have come down it appears it needs to do something to attract more guests. SPG members have good choices in KL and combine that with MO has Club Rooms and lounge at reasonable rates and SL has Horizon Club it seems these high end hotels see a demand for drinks etc.
I just don't see a great case for staying at St. Regis KL compared to other options SPG or 'high end' others will disagree but each to their own!
