Directions: 75 kilometres from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at Sepang. Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's central business district, the Golden Triangle, with major office buildings and prime shopping areas within walking distance.
For most of my trip, I stayed at the Concorde and then upgraded for a special treat to the Mariott in BB. I probably would have stayed here longer just to enjoy the BB area a bit more. For Americans, so much value.
A five star hotel, with great service. Everyone was professional and helpful. The room had a king size bed with 7 or more pillows on top. See the pix. The room had great views of the mountains and Petronas Towers. The hotel is located in the Golden Triangle, the lively and vibrant shopping area with vibrant restaurants and entertainment.
Free parking was included.
There is so much available right outside your door. There are a number of international restaurants available on the bottom floor...including a great Thai restauant. Just outside the hotel, is a canopied Starbucks, Planet Hollywood, Lot 10, and Wang center across the street. The monorail is just down the street.
We arrived there at 3am and there unfortunately wasn't anyone to greet us or help us with our bags. I felt that the service was ok, but didn't like the swimming pool because the cafe was right at the edge of the pool. No privacy at all. THe room was quite small and the toilet doors are really irrritating when you want to try to close it.
J W Marriott: Beautiful Hotel near Star Hill Complex
Satisfaction:
Updated By longsanborn on March 21, 2007
I've stayed here once and it was a great 4-star hotel with all the luxurious and comfortable facilities to satisfy a fussy business man.
It is very close to the Star Hill Shopping Mall (next door), Lot 10 and Sungai Wang Shopping Complexes. Also 5 - 10 minutes to China town (Petaling Street) and other business centres and entertainment areas.
This hotel is superb through and through. From it's intimiate foyer to it's grand ballroom, every part of this hotel has being design to draw you in. I was fortunate enough to stay in one of it's spacious suite during my engagement and wedding.
This is a must if you can spot the extra cash. It'll be worth your while. Also, you have to visit it Executive Lounge on the utmost floor of the hotel. It's a perfect place to spend having your breakfast
Great bargains to be had at this hotel! We stayed here before we actually moved over to Malaysia. Lovely rooms, great view of the twin towers and a wonderful breakfast by the pool.
