Frommer's Highly Recommended

Of the best five-star properties in Kuala Lumpur, nobody delivers first-class accommodations with the finesse of the Regent. A landmark along KL's fashionable Jalan Bukit Bintang shopping strip, The Regent has an ever-bustling lobby to match the excitement along the sidewalks outside -- the lobby lounge is filled night and day. Surprisingly, the staff always seems polite and professional despite the barrage. The Regent's guest rooms are spacious, quiet, and cool, with huge plush beds covered in soft cozy cotton sheets and down comforters. Bathrooms are large, marble affairs with plenty of counter space. The outdoor pool is a palm-lined free-form escape, and the fitness center is state-of-the-art, with sauna, steam, spa, and Jacuzzi. In the plot directly next to the hotel construction began on a new, mammoth shopping and apartment complex. Ask about it when you make your booking: nobody wants to hear driving piles when they're trying to nap. Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar and lobby lounge; outdoor pool; 2 squash courts; 24-hr. fitness center w/Jacuzzi, sauna, steam, and massage; concierge; limousine service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
