  Thanks – I had been wondering what the motivations for doing it were! 🙂

  Bit of advice please – I’m getting married next year and for the honeymoon have already used the BA 241 for return flights to KUL (business out and first back).

  We’ve got about 15 nights, 11 of which we’re in Langkawi and the initial 3 nights and last night in KUL. I was looking at the club rooms in the Mandarin Oriental, but the prices are sky high (£750 for B&B 3 nights). Can anyone recommend any other good hotels in KUL that may be nearer the £500 mark for the 3 nights?

  Thanks

    General advice is that any 4 or 5 star hotel in KL should be very good value and provide good service. £750 for 3 nights B&B is way too high for KL. A number of posters like the Doubletree. My first ever stay in KL was at Traders, room options include a view of the Petronas towers which is stunning (you can also see the Mandarin Oriental!), hotel has a club floor, some great restaurants, and rooftop pool and sky bar. It is also adjacent to KLCC which includes a vast underground area with some cafes and walkways (= aircon) to the towers and to Bukit Bintang. The Intercontinental is also very good, and has a good Club Lounge. The JW Marriott is in a great shopping location, and has just been renovated, although the reviews of the new club lounge are mixed. I would avoid the main Hilton at the train station, as it was never the best of areas. Aim for Bukit Bintang or Petronas towers area.

      I think the Doubletree is still 10,000 Hilton points per night?

        Yep. And we got a suite. Not a great hotel though IMO but a bargain for what we got.

      Also the Grand Millenium..club balcony (great if you smoke) faces petronas towers directly. Fab club food and drinks you really don’t need to eat out again later…Traders club fab too. Both would make a fuss of you if on honeymoon. They did for our anniversary. Pay around £125 a night. Breakfast buffet superb.

    As others suggest choose very near petronas tower or bukit bintang to enjoy kl.

    Btw – the queue for petronas tower tickets starts at 6am so by 8am you’ve lost out or gave a two hour wait. Its a tradition for the new husband to queue for the 2 tickets on his own and leave the new bride for a lie in.

      Hilton near the station is very nice in my opinion, especially if you request a park view.
