Kuala Lumpur Hotel Tips by mansionion

This 4 star hotel was formerly known as Novotel Century Kuala Lumpur Hotel before re-branded to its current name. Whatever name it is called, you can be sure of its good services and strategic location in KL's Bukit Bintang area. It is within walking distance to major shopping complexes (Low Yat Plaza, Berjaya Times Square KL, Sungai Wang Plaza, BB PLaza, Lot 10, KL Plaza and Starhill) as well as dining and entertainment hub (Planet Hollywood, cafes/restaurants/hawker delicacies at Bintang Walk, Jalan Alor and Changkat Bukit Bintang). With two monorail stations in its vicinity (Imbi and Bukit Bintang stations), it is well connected to other places of interest in KL as well.

Unique Qualities: Conveniently located.

It was a pleasant experience staying in Swiss Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The rooms are spacious with good facilities and services provided by the friendly staff.

Unique Qualities: What I like most about Swiss-Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur is its convenient location between Bukit Bintang/Jalan Alor eateries area and Puduraya bus terminal/Chinatown, all are within walking distance from the hotel. For travelling to other places around the city, taxis and buses are easily available from Jalan Pudu. Additionally, the KL Monorail and Starline LRT's Hang Tuah stations are also within walking distance from the hotel.

The hotel itself is superb with all the facilities expected out of a four star hotel in it class (restaurant, business centre, gym, swimming pool etc). On top of that, it is also one of the few hotel in KL with its in house spa facility (Samsara Spa). .

Unique Qualities: Hotel Fortuna may nor fronting the main road of Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Sultan Ismail but its location is still pretty conveneince. The plus point is as it is located at the back alley, its pretty quite (not so noisy) in the vicinity.

Its a mere 5 minutes walking to the shopping malls and eateries around Jalan Alor. It is also close to the Bukit Bintang Monorail station, making commuting within the city so much easier.

Its track record of more than 32 years proved that many of its patrons are satisfied with its services. Its a hotel with a class of its own with value for money on accommodation, food or beverage.

Unique Qualities: Bintang Warisan Hotel is said to be the only boutiqe hotel in the heart of the city. The 10 storey, 97 rooms' hotel reflects the grace of the pre-independence era exuding old world charm and a heady glamour. However, apart from its interior and furnishing, you can't help the feeling that there's more could be done to back its claim as a boutique hotel.

Anyway the hotel is strategically located in the heart of the entertainment and shopping paradise of Jalan Bukit Bintang. It is within walking distance to major business and financial centres in the city with convenient accessibility to the city's Light Rail Transit (LRT), Mnorail, bus and taxi services.

A pleasant expereice. I like the view of the city (including the notorious Jalan Ampang's heavy traffic :) from the hotel's windows. The services are also good, with good facilities like Clark Hatch gym, Cafe at 10th and Taj Indian Restaurant. There's also a Balinese theme Spa in the hotel.

Unique Qualities: The Crown Princess Hotel is part of the City Square Centre - a 3 in 1 development that also included a shopping mall (City Square) and an office tower block (Empire Tower - once the tallest building in Kuala Lumpur).

The hotel is located at the junction of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak, close to the embassies/high commission offices in the vicinity. It is also within walking distance to the Petronas Towers via the KLCC park. Alternatively, the Putraline LRT's Ampang station (once featured in the TV program Amazing Race) is just accross the street for easy reach to the other parts of the city. Buses and taxis are also easily avilable from Jalan Ampang.

I like the conveneint location of the hotel - I can go shopping at the nearby malls, dining at BB Park with live cultural /stage performances or just head to Bintang Walk for more gigs late in the evening.

The hotel ambience and decoration look simple yet elegant, and view of KL Tower from the room is magnificient.

Being in the main shopping district of KL, the hotel is surrounded by some of KL's most popular shopping malls such as Sg Wang Plaza, Low Yat Plaza and BB Plaza.
