Top hotel in Kuala Lumpur

I hope this newsgroup can help me.
I need to know which is the best hotel in Kuala Lumpur for vacation purpose.
Thats defined by a hotel which has the best luxury and comfort and is
located in a nice location.
Previously I was told the Hotel of the Golden Horses is the best.
Yet, when I did further research, I realize that the hotel, even though it
hosted leaders like Bill Clinton and the Queen, is located miles away from
anywhere. It has a few expensive restaurants and then there is no
attractions. Due to the massive traffic jams, travelling by taxi to and fro
city centre could be a pain.

So, for a business traveller wanting to vacation in Kuala Lumpur for a few
days and not mind spending some cash, what would be a nice choice?
I heard Ritz Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, Westin and Sheraton Subang are
amongst the best. Am I correct ?

Can reply to my email

Hi

As you say the Golden Horse id a long way from KL centre. The best choice
for quality/location is the Mandarin Oriental or the JW Marriot. The MO is
located adjacent to the KLCC shopping centre and also the Petronas twin
towers. Plenty of shops, restaurants etc next door. (hotel food obviously
expensive) There is also a supermarket in the shopping centre (basement
level) The shopping centre also has a station on the monorail system which
is very good and cheap to use (all brand new) I have personally stayed here
several times a year and can highly recommend it. The JW Marriot is also in
a good central location with numerous bars, restaurants shops etc next door.
Probably a better selection within walking distance than the MO. However I
haven't stayed at the JW so can't comment on the hotel. However I would have
no hesitation staying there.
Hope this helps.

I can recommend the Mandarin Oriental too - a luxury hotel that's very
affordable and about as well-situated as you could want, literally
right next door to the Petronas towers and only a few minutes' walk
from the KLCC subway station.

I like The Regent in Jln Bukit Bintang.
Very nice pool, excellent chinese restaurant. Shopping malls virtually
opposite eg Lot 10 BB plaza star hill plaza. Very helpful concierge
staff. Stayed there many times.

Will be there next Tues & Wed night as it happens.

And don't forget, they whip a couple in the transfer lounge at Changi each
day for the benefit of passengers on short layovers.
