When I visited Kuala Lumpur last December, I made the Shangri-La Hotel my home for two nights. As one of the KL hotels nestled amidst lush gardens in the heart of the city, the newly renovated Shangri-La Hotel, sits just 45 minutes from the international airport and just moments from key shopping areas. I was in town for Monsoon season, which meant apocalyptic rain showers falling anytime without any warning. So it was especially enjoyable to stay at such a cosy and classy address and to watch from my paradisiacal bed located at the 24th floor while the mad rain fell on the bustling city. With 101 luxuriously-appointed suites among 662 guestrooms, the Shangri-La Hotel is the biggest hotel in Kuala Lumpur.  Shangri-La Hotel also features an impressive selection of cosmopolitan cuisine. Whether you dine at the stylish and worldly Restaurant Lafite, sample market-fresh sashimi at Zipangu or make your way through the international buffets at the Lemon Garden Cafe, your choice of dish will be prepared by some of Southeast Asia’s finest chefs, and served by a staff known for their grace and warmth. Shangri-La Hotel is all what you need to make your visit to Kuala Lumpur the most sophisticated experience possible.
