Best hotel in KL
Hi. I am making my way through Bangkok and KL over a few days at the
end of August. My hotel in Bangkok I have pretty much decided will be the Grand China Princess, as it has nice rooms (of a 4-star standard, although the hotel is only a 3 star) and will cost me only 1500baht (with the current strengh of the pound, this is only 20 pounds, which would not even pay for a youth hostel in England) for two people, and is close to my favourite eating place in Chinatown. In KL however, I see that prices are surprisingly (considering that Malaysia seems like a more affluent country) quite a bit cheaper, and even the most expensive five-star (the Carcosa Sari Negara) will cost me less than £100. So I am therefore looking to stay in the nicest hotel in KL, given my party of 2 adults + a 2 year old. Being in walking distance of the shopping centres is a major plus, but recreational facilities or gardens (such as at the Shangri-La could offset this). I am afraid I would not know what to do with the butler service at the Ritz, so this seems rather a waste - I would be more impressed with a high-quality room. So I am looking between the Mandarin Oriental the Shangri-La the Regent or any other hotel that anyone can recommend... (the place of the golden horses looks nice, but the mines resort concept didn't seem all that exciting - the theme park looks pretty feeble, but again I am open to be persuaded that it's actually wonderful). I would also like to know the best place for *Malaysian* dining in the city - no Chinese, I want high-class Malaysian cuisine. Thanks! PS. I am getting my rates from http://www.planetholiday.com/city/14524.htm - www.asiatravel.com is too popular and way overpriced. |
