We stayed for 8 nights at the Park Royal, KL and it was excellent. We were travelling with our 9 year old daughter and were upgraded to a suite on the 17th floor which had a great view and free use of all of the Orchid Club facilities. The location of the hotel is outstanding - there are at least 6 huge malls (including Times Square which has an indoor theme park) within 5 minutes stroll. The monorail is 50m from the hotel and great for visiting China town or the Titiwangsa gardens with the new Eye onf Malaysia. Taxis are cheap and plentiful and staff were always happy to negotiate a price for us. Next door to the hotel in a lovely garden setting is an outdoor eating area where you could have a large sevre of Malaysian food for 5Rm ($2.00!). Moreover you could see the kitchens behind the stalls and they were spotless.The buffet breakfast is breathtaking with a huge selection of western, malaysian, japanese - you name it! The resataurant manager, Joe Manuel, was brilliant! We had not realised how popular the KLTower's revolving resataurant was so popular and tried to book a table for my birthday. We were politely told that the restaurant was full but a few words from him and we got a fantastic window side table. H e also organised a day at Putri Jaya for us including a driver at a pre-organised rate- 120RM (about $aud50) for the whole day! All in all I would have to say that this is the best hotel we have ever encountered in Asia and I would thoroughly recommend it. It made the stay in Kuala Lumpur thoroughly enchanting.
