The luxury hotel boasts 10 restaurants serving up Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Spanish and other international cuisines. Gastronomy to the max! Kuala Lumpur is already a multi-cultural city but I love that the hotel is already offering you a piece of the world in all its international flavours without even having to leave the premises.
With all the city’s tourist sights we had on the cards, first on the list was a bit of R&R on the rooftop’s infinity pool. Considering we had just spent a few days temple running through Cambodia’s Angkorian Temples, it was time to relax by the pool with a cocktail before exploring began. A few days ago I also shared some pictures from our culinary tour through Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown.

Budget – Wise
Obviously, Mandarin Oriental is in the luxury category so expect to pay a premium for that, but it was well worth every penny or dollar that we paid. We had a room that was looking out to Petronas Towers, again those rooms charge a bit more. Others not facing the towers are slightly less. I will be posting more on the hotel. It was a birthday treat so totally justified, I guess. For a list of hotels in Kuala Lumpur head over to this list of hotels in KL.

Location of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur doesn’t get any better! You are bang in the middle of it all. If you are after a hotel near KLCC then this is the place for you! Firstly you have the 10 restaurants inside the hotel, then the major Suria Mall within Petronas Towers next door. You have stores from luxury to sensibly priced stores. So from your Gucci, Fendi, Chanel to H&M and all the gadgets shops like the Microsoft, Samsung and Apple stores. I couldn’t resist, I managed to come back to London with a gold and shiny Samsung A8. Exclusive to Asia, so I feel pretty chuffed that only a few people in the UK might have it. The hotel is perfectly located with plenty of sights are your finger tips. Also, perfect for anyone short on time but wanting to get the most out of your stay. You won’t have to go very far to see the sights.

Super cool post. We are visiting Malaysia next August. I love your pictures but just wanted to ask how to decide on where is the best place to stay in Kuala Lumpur. Can you recommend somewhere to stay in KL?
Hi there,
Without knowing how much your budget is for Kuala Lumpur, its hard to assist with that question but there are plenty of places to choose from in Kuala Lumpur. We were looking for where to stay in Kuala Lumpur for shopping, hence why we chose to stay at Mandarin Oriental as it is next to KLCC mall as well as right next to the Petronas Towers so we had easy access to all that at the bottom of our hotel. This is a luxury hotel just so you are aware. There are a few more hotels nearby too. If you are looking for best place to stay in Kuala Lumpur on a budget there are plenty of beautiful highrise apartments with pools and great views of Kuala Lumpur you can check out both booking.com or airbnb.com
