OT: KL Hotels
Posting on the honeymoon thread got me thinking about forthcoming stay in KL and hoetls. Sayed at Shangri-la once in the past and this time have booked into mandarin oriental. We are only there for two nights and so its not that important but just wondered whether anyone had a view on which is better?? Seem to remember shangri-la having good location but plumped for MNO just thinking it would be the best in the city and didnt have time to research when booked.
Any knowledge much appreciated! YYD |
You can't go wrong with the MO's location either - it's right next to the KLCC which is great if you like shopping. There's also a subway station at the KLCC.

Oriental is just brilliant. Have stayed there several times. Superb restaurants. Infinity pool overlooks the park. Right next door to Petronas Towers and a large shopping mall.

Popping this over to the Asia board :)

Mr. Megatop and I stayed at Carcosa Seri Negara in June, the GHM-managed former residence of the British Governor. www.ghmhotels.com The service was extraordinary (especially our butler, who was terrific), and the houses were just beautiful. The only issue is that it's a bit tough to get to-- basically need to take a cab from Sentral Station, and the roads leading to it are confusing. The staff more than made up for it by basically driving us anywhere we wanted to go in town and, as often as not, picking us up at the station. The suite we had, pics of which are on the website, was easily the largest we've ever stayed in anywhere and was simply beautiful. For great service and colonial-era luxury, as opposed to the modern luxury of the MO, Carcosa Seri Negara is the place to stay in KL.

the MO is better location/access-wise. The rooms are also gorgeous with fantastic views.

IMO, the MO is vastly overrated. The pool area is not great, the service is completely lacking, and the rooms are tired. My stay of choice in KL is the Hilton/Le Meridien at Sentral Station. Don't let people convince you the location is inconvenient -- it's not, as it's a short walk to subway/monorail.

Its similar to comparing a resort on the beach with one thats 5mins walk away. 5min is not a long walk, but its just not the same as a resort on the beach. |
