Hotel… Hotel… Hotel… Which Kuala Lumpur Hotel should I stay? My girl friend and I want to go to Kuala Lumpur next month. It had been quite some times that I did not visit Kuala Lumpur. When was my last trip to Kuala Lumpur? I don’t remember…

PWTC is one of the destinations that we want to go. And we like to shop around Kuala Lumpur too. Finding a suitable hotel for all the activities we want are hard for me which don’t know much about Kuala Lumpur. After doing research online and ask around all my friends, I think I got little bit clearer.

I found some info from Asia Web Direct (kl-hotels.com), TripAdvisor.com and AsiaRooms.com. All these websites are very helpful. They have all the rates and prices of most of the hotels in Kuala Lumpur. And provide valuable reviews from all the visitors too.

We want to shop at Bukit Bintang at evening when no where to go. So I started to look around hotels at Bukit Bintang. Woo… The hotel rates are not cheap. Most of them are above RM200 for 3 stars hotel and RM300 above for 4 stars hotel. At Bukit Bintang, there are Alpha Genesis Hotel, Berjaya KL Plaza Suites, Berjaya Times Square Hotel And Convention Center, Bintang Warisan Hotel, Corona Inn Kuala Lumpur, Coronade Hotel, Dorsett Regency Hotel – Kuala Lumpur, Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur, Hotel Capitol, Hotel Istana, Hotel Nova, JW Marriott Hotel, Melia Kuala Lumpur, Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur, Piccolo Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Radius International Hotel, Sarang Galloway Vacation Home, Sungei Wang Hotel, Swiss Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur, The Federal Kuala Lumpur, The Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur, The Royale Bintang Hotel and The Westin Kuala Lumpur.

By staying at Bukit Bintang hotel, shopping is not a problem. We can reach the shopping mall by walking. Yeah… But looking at the price, again and again. Hard to decide which one to stay. Cheap one doesn’t have good review while good one is way too expensive. What should I do?

Looking at my company preferred hotel lists. Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur, Park Royal, Crowne Plaza Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur and Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur. With corporate rate, I should be paying lesser than normal rate. However, all the hotel rates still expensive. I don’t have membership on these hotels. No more freebie or discount. Wait… After checking one by one, I discovered that Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur is one of the Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. Yes! I have Shangri-La Golden Circle membership ~ Executive level. I can get some freebie already. By the way, in order to get Golden Circle Executive level, you need to stay more than 20 nights per year. By the way, one of my colleague got Elite level (60 nights per year ) Woo, normal vacation cannot reach that level. Only business trips can achieve it.

So is Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur the one that we will stay? Hmm… Don’t know yet. It is located at KLCC. Need to walk quite awhile to Bukit Bintang. How? Which hotel should I stay in Kuala Lumpur?
