Mandarin Oriental KL is nice - one of the 2 best hotel gyms I have been to (seen many), other gd facilities, and as it's only about 2 years old, in good condition. Great location just by the Twin Towers which is pretty central too. Have only stayed on the club floor -this is MYR 450 aprx, normal rooms i think are about MYR300. Divide by 3.8 to convert to USD - this is not up to date at all though. <BR>I hear that the Ritz Carlton has fantastic service. It is more on a boutique hotel vein. However the major downside is, the location , though central, is unpleasant. My mum says the lobby is dark & claustrophobic...

I've stayed at the Regent and the Mandarin and vote for the Mandarin. Great location, new building, beautiful pool, etc. Last I heard (which has been a while), rooms were US$75-100. A great bargain. <BR> <BR>There is nothing wrong with the Regent as an alternative, but it is much, much older and the food options weren't as good.

We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. <BR>The hotel puts out wonderful buffets, <BR>has a nice pool, nice rooms, and is within walking distance of the towers.

We stayed at the Sheraton.....beautiful hotel, huge, well appointed rooms, wonderful resturant....great location, very accomodating
