Malaysian hotels listing |
|
|
|
There are many hotels in Malaysia to choose from ranging from low-budget motels or hostels, to reasonably-priced mid-class hotels to luxury-class 5-star hotels. Whichever you choose during your stay in Malaysia, there are a few things to consider.
1. the location
2. your budget
3. safety
4. what amenities/services you require
With this in mind, i have selected a few hotel/hotelgroups which are between resonable and expensive though considering the costs of things in Malaysia, you will agree that what i list down are very affordable. Since i place your safety in top priority, i have narrowed down the list to the following in no particular order :-

The Concorde Hotel |
|
|
|
|
|
If you can't live without the Hard Rock Cafe, this is where you should be.Every night there is a huge crowd the entrance. I love gawking at the huge bikes parked out. Also the oh-so-cool sports cars.Check to see if there are any famous singers/band performing. Not too far from all the shopping ctrs, the Concorde hotel offers quite a bit of designer-label outlets and rather attractive decor. Surrounding areas offer the old and new in architecture. Not too far from Chinatown too, though not walking distance. |

|
|
If you are in KL and are looking for a luxury 5-star hotel near the Putra World Trade Ctr, then this is the place to stay. There are a few more Panpacs located thruout M'sia, all offering the same level of services and amenities. Check if they still have a fashion- show high-tea (afternoon tea). Their Locations:-
1. Kuala Lumpur (next to the PWTC)
2. KLIA (Kuala Lumpur Int'l Airport) (the place to be if you are catching the Formula1)
3. Glenmarie (ideal location for golfing)
4. Johor Bahru (a stone's throw from Singapore)
5. Pulau Pangkor (relaxing island resort) |

There are also hilltop resorts in Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands, Fraser's Hill, to name a few, and cruises from Port Klang (Selangor). Genting highlands houses the only legal casino in M'sia, located barely more than an hour's drive from KL. Also in Gentings is a very nice golf course in Awana Golf and Country Club. Fancy a round of golf in the clouds?
