I will be at the GH... as I believe will chchkiwi - will be visiting Siem Reap prior to Kuala Lumpur.
Has anyone here stayed at Le Meridien? (this is for a later one night stay) Is it better positioned for an easy trip into and out of KL via public transport/train?

Last time I was in K.L., I stayed at the Aloft, which is a great bargain with SPG points (cat 2). It is near the K.L. Sentral, which is the main railway station of K.L. The Le Meridien is also very close to Sentral, on the other side of the Sentral station compared to Aloft. So yes it would be well positioned for taking public transport in and out of K.L. I think I was able to get a non-stop bus ride directly from Sentral to the airport when I left K.L last time.

I've only been to KL a few times, but I took the LRT and airport bus each time, so if anyone is new in town and needs directions on either of those to GH or DT please feel free to PM me.

From KL Sentral, the quickest way to the airport (KUL) is via the train. This takes just less than half an hour. However, the direct bus service is a lot more economical, taking roughly double the time. For those who prefer the bus, make sure it's going to the terminal you want to go to - KLIA (mostly full service airlines) or KLIA2 (mostly LCCs).

Personally, I wouldn't suggest staying too far away from the GH (although you should do whatever you think is best for you). Given that the schedule has not yet been posted, it's possible that some events will be planned on short notice, and if your hotel is far from the GH you may find it hard to get the information in time to get to the meeting place. Just my thought, based on past DOs with schedules that weren't set in stone.

I expect that this one probably won't be as formally planned out as the other plans and might be more play it by ear with just a few major events scheduled. But as long as you're flexible (and don't mind the adventure of last-minute planning) I don't think you'll need to worry about missing anything. I would really recommend staying at one of the hotels where one of the DO organizers is staying, for convenience. So either Grand Hyatt or Shangri-La.
Cheers!

If you want Lounge Access at the Hyatt
You want to stay at the Hyatt but do not have status.
I am a Diamond, but am not staying at the GH.
Book your room through me and we both get lounge access.
PM me if interested.
I might even use one of my upgrades

Would be good to have a rough schedule too. Doesn't need to be too detailed, but it would certainly help with my flight/bus/train and hotel choices if I know where/when the major events take place (e.g. main do dinner).

I wish. I won't be able to attend the KUL portion, so I am focusing on the Sihanoukville trip. It is almost as if Sihanoukville has taken over as the more substantial part of the Do, with KUL playing the role that the Post-Do usually does. But that's just my personal two cents. I will follow up with the other organizers to see if they have made any progress on KUL.
