All the thoughts of having some Great food.......but alas, won't be making the trip. 
For those thinking of the Hilton, I highly recommend it. Stayed there the 1st month it opened last year and look fwd to going back soon!

Well, the armtwisting will be started early Oct perhaps? At least will help to remind you to check those low airfares out from LHR.

1. Le Meridien
Join their "Moments" plan you can can get an nice executive room for 235RM.
Located next to KL Sentral, it shares facilities (pool, gym etc) with the Hilton at a fraction of the price. Biggest issue for me is connectivity, and high speed wired internet is FREE in all rooms. It is good enough connection that I am sitting here (RIGHT NOW!) with my laptop sharing its connection with my Cisco VOIP phone which works pretty good 90% of the time. It is removed from the "party/bar/resturant" area, but you can take the trains and monorail to all locations.
2. Concorde
Downtown near a monorail stop, it is a decent place that was recently renovated. Not sure on current prices, but it is a good backup.
NEVER STAY AT THE HILTON. They internet connection is crappy and tries to block ports and they charge you for it.
