I just stayed at The Westin Kuala Lumpur for three nights. Even though The Sheraton is rated very highly with Trip Advisor, I wanted to stay in a Great Location so that is why I chose to stay at The Westin. As a SPG Gold Member I got a welcome gift of chocolates. The lobby is very nice and there are a bunch of porters who are extremely attentive.The first room I was given was on the 30th floor with No views of the Petronas Towers or the KL Pavillion. The Room was dark and depressing, luggage skid marks all over the place and also dust. I spoke with the Manager who was extremely nice and he sent me to a room on the 28th floor. That room had a view of the Petronas Towers, KL Tower and the KL Pavilion. Keep in mind: If you are over 6'ft you might find the beds too short in the regular guest rooms. However, there was a problem with the toilet so I was moved to the Executive APartments. I had a great view of the Petronas Towers and had a living area, balcony, study and a master bedroom. It was Great!!! if there is not a huge difference in price go for the Executive Apartments its so much better!!! The pool is just ok with Not a lot of lounge chairs. The staff were great. They were very attentive and prompt at every request. I had a late flight and I was only entitled to a 4 PM late checkout. I asked the front desk agent for a later check out and he gave me 6pm which was perfect!!! I really appreciated that!
This hotel has a GREAT LOCATION! It is right next to the KL Pavilion, Starhill Gallery, JW Marriott,and the Ritz Carlton. Personally, I think the KL Pavilion is a nicer mall than the KCC (Petronas Towers) with more entertainment and dining options. The Starhill Gallery has to be the classiest mall I have ever been to. It is so beautiful and make sure you go the the Feat Level (bottom level) where they have so many great restaurants for reasonable prices.
Even though I had a few hiccups in the beginning, I will definitely stay at The Westin Kuala Lumpur again! The staff were great and the hotel is in the Best Location!
Room Tip: Get an Executive Apartment if you can. Get a room facing to Petronas Towers and the KL Pavillion.
