Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur is 1st Class throughout. The Concierge's staffs are extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms feature 42" flat screen TVs, rainwater showerheads and beautiful views of Kuala Lumpur. The executive lounge has a wide assortment of pastries, omelet station, waffles and pancakes as well as local foods. And you could make a meal out of the appetizers and drinks at night if you're too tired to eat out. But if you stay in the lobby and observe people coming and going you get the feel that this is a place frequented by the movers and shakers of Kuala Lumpur.



There is a small room refrigerator, ours was not cooling and it's the only thing that was wrong with the room. It was not important to us. All Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur staff was extremely courteous, helpful and friendly. Internet was fairly priced, with a discount of a 7 day package offered. Internet was speedy as well, over 1Mbit.



KL Sentral being across the road is very convenient.....especially the quick journey to and from the airport! The hotel staff will meet you at the airport and take your luggage to the train and when you get to the station, they will whisk you and the luggage to Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The Blue taxis from the hotel (Premier) are very nice and cost around RM5.00-8.00 more. Or you can just walk across and catch a cab from KL Sentral. A great thing about that is there is a Taxi Coupon system so saves you having to bargain!



I will go back there anytime without a doubt. Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur location is perfect, just across the road from central station-makes traveling anywhere really easy. Even though it’s across the road hotel still dropped me off to the station with their executive shuttle.

The Legend Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

The Legend Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

Strategically located above The Mall Shopping Complex and opposite Putra World Trade Center (PWTC), The Legend Hotel Kuala Lumpur is within the city main commercial district. After looking at many hotels in KL we booked this one. We stayed in one of the new "Legend Crest" executive rooms (only opened around 3 months ago apparently). This meant we also had access to the private check-in/dinning room just off the lobby area. Free drinks (alcoholic and otherwise) between 6-8pm and free tea and coffee all day were great.



The beds and sheets were clean and extremely comfortable, the rooms were clean and the view was great. The location was fantastic, with shops, food and the train right on the door step.



I arrived at night and had an excellent sleep. My bed was very comfortable and the room had a lovely view. The internet kept breaking down unfortunately. My bathroom was beautiful with marble everywhere. I could not fault the laundry and room service. Legend Hotel Kuala Lumpur cleaning staff were friendly and efficient as was all of the staff there. It was a breeze to get to a destination and taxis were plentiful and very cheap.

The Legend Hotel Kuala Lumpur room service food which I loved was just perfect with generous portions and tropical fruit in abundance. The hotel had a good gym and sauna and the pool was great too. The Malaysian companies’ office in the complex proved to be very interesting as were the shops and markets in the mall. Starbucks were there but coffee with out fresh milk took a little getting used to.

The Kuala Lumpur International Airport is 55 minutes drive and transportation services such as the KTM Komuter Station (PUTRA Station) and Rapid KL Ampang Line (PWTC Station) are virtually at the Hotel doorstep while the Monorail Station (Chow Kit) is only minutes away from the Hotel. Major tourist attractions such as KLCC is only 10 minutes away while getting around the city poses no hassle as a taxi stand is conveniently located at The Mall Shopping Complex.

Although not quite a 5 star hotel, Legend Hotel Kuala Lumpur was a great two night stay and I would recommend it to couples or families traveling

The Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur Review

The Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur Review

Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur is very centrally located in Kuala Lumpur. Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur is situated between the Petronas Towers and the Chinese night markets, in addition to its close proximity to excellent shopping.

My wife and my stay at Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur were wonderful! The room we had was extremely comfortable and had a magnificent view of the Petronas Towers. The staff was amazing. When we arrived to Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur , I soon found out that I had mistakenly booked for one night when I had meant to book for five. In talking with the manager we learned that the hotel was full. However, he did his best to help us solve the situation so that we would not have to change hotels, and he managed to arrange it so that we could keep our same room for all five nights. Beyond that, everyone was very courteous, friendly, and helpful.

In Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur, we ate one night at the bistro cafe in the hotel and the food was very, very good, and the staffs in the cafe were also very friendly and courteous. I also loved the complimentary fruit basket, bottled water and daily newspaper. Breakfast buffet was good, with food for every taste and need such as rice, halal meats, cereal, fruits, curry, eggs, hash browns, pastries etc.

A walking distance from the famous Bintang Walk, which is well-known for major shopping malls such as the Bukit Bintang Plaza, Lot 10, Starhill, Suria KLCC, it is also in the heart the city's various entertainment nightspots and financial district.

The Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts is slated to open in 2015 as part of the Pavilion project on Jalan Conlay near Bukit Bintang.

Kuala Lumpur: The Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts will be the latest luxury hotel brand that will have a presence in Malaysia.

Slated for opening in 2015, Banyan Tree will be a part of the Pavilion project called Banyan Tree Signatures Kuala Lumpur, located on Jalan Conlay near Bukit Bintang.

Banyan Tree did not respond directly to Business Times queries on its opening. So did Kuala Lumpur Pavilion which did not answer any queries.

Both parties are expected to sign a collaboration agreement on October 18 2011, whereby information about the project will be revealed.
While details remain sketchy, industry players and website searches have confirmed that a single 55-storey block will be built to house private residences, serviced residences and a hotel.

Based on "preliminary information" on the project dated May 2011, there will be 441 units of private residences, 51 units of serviced residences and 50 units of hotel.

The fact sheet on the web, which has not been verified by either party, indicates that some 490 units of residences are for sale at an average price of RM2,000 per sq ft. However, sources say almost all units have been sold.

Industry estimates tag the cost of construction, not including land cost, to be around RM800 million.

Pavilion and Banyan Tree's relationship in the project remains unclear.

Banyan Tree Holdings Ltd manages and develops premium resorts, hotels and spas in Asia Pacific. The group has ownership in niche resorts and hotels.

Singapore Stock Exchange-listed Banyan Tree Holdings website states that it is now involved in some 30 resorts and hotels, over 60 spas and 80 galleries, as well as three golf courses.

30 Minutes from KL to KLIA with new Highway

THE much anticipated 26km KL-Putrajaya Highway that offers road users a shorter and more direct route to the federal administrative capital Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and the KL International Airport (KLIA) is now open to road users and is easily accessible from the city centre.

If prior to this, travelling from KL to these destinations used to take more than an hour, the highway has shortened the trips to a mere 20 minutes to Putrajaya and Cyberjaya and 30 minutes to KLIA at Sepang.
The highway will be toll-free for a month until Jan 13. Road users entering the highway from the Kampung Pandan Interchange will find their travelling time cut to more than half compared with travelling on the existing route, which takes twice as long to reach the same destinations.

According to Konsortium Lapangan Terjaya Sdn Bhd senior manager (corporate communications), Tihana Yon, the expansion of the KL-Putrajaya highway to the existing major highways would in turn stimulate further commercial and residential developments in the southern corridor of the Klang Valley.
Yon said road users could access the highway from five interchanges – Kampung Pandan, Salak South, Kuchai Lama, Bukit Jalil and the Putrajaya Link.

The Kampung Pandan Interchange provides easy access from areas within the Golden Triangle and the main roads such as Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Ampang, Jalan Pahang, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Taman Maluri, Pandan Jaya and Kampung Pandan.

The Salak South Interchange provides road users a direct link from Damansara, Bangsar, Jalan Duta and Jalan Kuching.
The Kuchai Lama Interchange has two entry ramps, the first ramp channels traffic from Kerinchi, Mid Valley Megamall, Bangsar, Bandar Tun Razak, and Taman Connaught while the second ramp allows traffic from Jalan Kelang Lama, Kuchai Lama and Taman Desa.

The Bukit Jalil Interchange built over the Kesas Highway provides a lifeline as it assists in the easing of congestion in the city centre and the surrounding areas to Sungei Besi, Kajang, the KL-Seremban Highway, Sri Petaling and Bangi.

And from the opposite direction, road users would find the traffic in Klang, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Sunway, Gombak, Ampang and Cheras leading to KL, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and KLIA much breezier.
The Putrajaya Link however integrates with the North South Expressway Central Link (ELITE Highway) and enables road users to reach KLIA within 10 minutes.
The highway is installed with several safety features and the advanced traffic monitoring systems such as emergency telephone, CCTV and electronic messaging which are routed to the highway’s Control Centre (CC).

“This enables CC to assist patrol vehicles in attending to emergencies on the highway,’’ added Yon.
In addition, she said, the KL-Putrajaya Highway provides a link between the MRR1 and MRR2 and other highways such as Besraya, KL-Seremban, NPE and Kesas, thus relieving traffic congestion along these routes

The Best Billionaire Hotels
May 30, 06 2:02 am
By Suzanne Hoppough, Forbes.com

Billionaires own stocks, bonds, real estate and art. Many also have their own collectible cars, mega-yachts and private planes. And some own hotels. Nice ones.

Hotels come in handy, and they can quickly increase in worth. Ten years ago, for instance, Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud paid $150 million for the Four Seasons George V in Paris. A recent independent valuation now pegs it at $750 million.

A hotel can also be a billionaire's own swanky retreat. Swiss billionaire Karl-Heinz Kipp, who in 1985 sold the Massa retail chain he founded, now lives part-time at his Tschuggen Grand Hotel in the Swiss Alps. Pretty soon, he might want to lengthen his stay. After all, he is adding a $27 million spa with a special top floor that will offer a "program of seasons," including a "winter storm" and a "summer sunshine."

Billionaire hotels span the globe from Barbados and St. Moritz, Switzerland, to Gambia, West Africa, and the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They also offer tastes of the billion-dollar lifestyle. At the Kona Village Resort, owned by American billionaire and Beanie Babies founder Ty Warner, guests can sip Mai Tais by the pool after a nap at one of 125 private thatched-roof cottages. At Donbass Palace in Donetsk, Ukraine, owned by Ukrainian steel and coal magnate Rinat Akhmetov, a vacationer can splurge on a $3,000-a-night executive club suite.

For golf, Irish billionaire Dermot Desmond owns Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados, which has a country club that this December will host the World Golf Championships-Barbados World Cup. German SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp's Four Seasons Domaine de Terre Blanche in Provence, France, has 300 days of sun a year and a golf academy for perfecting one's swing.

Some of the billionaire hotel hideaways have a rich historical tradition. The Monkey Island Hotel, which began operating as a hotel in 1840, is owned by Khalaf Ahmed Al Habtoor, a construction baron from the United Arab Emirates whose net worth is valued at $2.3 billion. Located on its own private island in the middle of London's Thames River and accessible only by footbridge or boat, the hotel's name dates back to 12th-century monks who are believed to have used the island for fishing (think monk-y not monkey). In the 1700s, the ceiling of its Monkey Room was painted with monkey images. Queen Alexandra began a tradition of royalty visiting the hotel when she had tea on the lawn with her children at the turn of the 20th century.

German SAP co-founder Hasso Plattner's Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate in George, South Africa, is so old--it's been operating for 147 years--that it's inspired legends: Lore has it that some of the previous owners are now ghosts of the resort.
