Ritz vs. Regent in KL
Has anyone stayed at either the Ritz or the Regent in KL? We were originally booked at the Ritz which had a great package deal, but when we found out they have no swimming pool we switched to the Regent. Did we make the right move?<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>Mike<BR>Connecticut

Hi Mike<BR><BR>Stayed at the Ritz KL a couple yrs back...they had a small pool, but still quite reasonable...Oh do make use of their health club...<BR>Generally, i find that the service was top notch, rooms were nicely decorated and spacious. Also, this hotel is newer than the Regent. However, i believe the Regent went through renovation a few yrs ago. Both hotels are really close to each other and so location is about the same. We were in KL and looked at the Ritz, Marriot, Shangri-La and Regent because we were unsastisfied with the original hotel. I would definitely book the Ritz instead of Regent.<BR><BR>Hope this helps<BR>Cheers<BR>Q

I go to KL every mth on biz and stay at the Regent, Ritz and Mand Oriental.<BR><BR>The Regent has a nice pool and good frontage but its rooms are old.<BR><BR>The Ritz has nicer, bigger and newer rooms but its backlane frontage is bad if you're concerned with views. It does hv a pool in the spa level but it is not as big as Regent's. Ritz has excellent service and all staff are trained to remember your name.

Just spent a night at the Ritz for New Year's Eve. I suppose I should give them the benefit of the doubt and point out that it was a busy night, but we found the service awful (and we were on an executive floor with butler). They totally welched on the package we got - New Year's Eve thing with food and drinks in the Executive Lounge. Stopped the food at 6, and the drinks at 10 - both were supposed to be until midnight. Some New Year's!!<BR><BR>Found the rooms and service at the Mandarin Oriental much better (stayed there for Christmas 2001) - if that's an option I'd highly recommend it.
