Frommer's Review

The absolute hottest hotel in KL, and probably one of the most innovative hotels in the world -- forget anything you've ever experienced in a Hilton. From the airy, art-filled public spaces to the rooftop lagoon pool, everything is done with edgy style and sophistication. Large rooms have sleek contemporary decor, with a desk area wired for work, mood lighting, stocked minibar with a coffee plunger and heavy mugs and a 42-inch plasma TV. A "magic button" handles all service requests, and three "lifestyle boxes" provide little extras like desk accessories, bath treats, and games. Bathrooms are great! Deep tubs, wide "rain" showerheads and a mini LCD screen TV built into the shaving mirror! The hotel's fitness center is operated by the very competent Clarke Hatch company and the rooftop pool and Bali spa are great escapes. Hilton hotels use the best rate of the day system, so I've listed a general rate during peak season below, as opposed to rack rates listed for other properties.

Facilities:
5 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; fitness center; spa; concierge; limousine service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
