Arrival

It takes about 15 minutes to get to the hotel from the train station even if it’s close. Prefer to make a connection to the Kuala Lumpur train station, located in front of the hotel… or take a cab!

Alternatively, the hotel’s free shuttle bus can pick you up or drop you off at KL Sentral, ask for it at reception.

Check-in will be done in few minutes. My Titanium Elite status would have allowed me to upgrade in a suite with a king bed. We prefer to maintain our reservation with 2 beds.

The hotel will confirm:

  • free breakfasts
  • access to the lounge
  • a welcome gift
  • a late departure at 4pm (convenient to visit the city and then take a shower before leaving for the airport!)

Hotel amenities

The lounge

When we arrived at the hotel around 6pm, after a flight from Istanbul to Kuala Lumpur, we decided to have a drink at the lounge before heading out to explore Kuala Lumpur.

To get there, we cross several magnificent rooms retracing the hotel’s colonial past.

Thanks to the Titanium Elite status (also possible with Platinum Elite), we were entitled to a free breakfast.

This one is taken at the hotel’s restaurant with an exceptional buffet – which is the norm in hotels in Asia!
