Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

[MAN Flyer]

I stayed here for a night last week, and can't quite make my mind up about the place.

The Good
- Nice club lounge
- Great views, especially from Lobby and Lounge but you should tell them what view you require as not all face the towers if that's what you want
- Rooms are very nice
- Finaly a Hyatt option in KL!
- Location, although this has it's advantages and disadvantages

The Not So
- Dual lift system to get to rooms, not my favourite system...I may have mentioned this before....
- Staff seem a little 'too much' a la certain St Regis Hotels I could mention. Some will like this, I'm not a fan
- Prices seem a little high for KL, time will tell
- Location, as above advantages and disadvantages depending why you are in KL

The same ones in they use for Grand Hyatt Singapore for Executive Floor...nice photos though..



Bathroom amenities from June Jacobs. Never heard of them.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks pretty decent but it will have to be good if they want to charge the prices they are quoting in KL.

I'll try and give it a go at some point. Most of my flying visits to KL see me in the Hilton or LM at KL Sentral for the convenience of getting around.

I dig those French jars.

Funny how the first shot shows them full; and the next, empty.

I'm curious what all the hotels will do once the iP5 is released next week with its new connection.

Did they upgrade you? Any other perks extended?

Yeah I was suprised at the inclusion of the docks so close to the release date of the new product. I wonder what the arrangement is with JBL.

Not sure if this qualifies but we received a club invitation letter on our desk however at check in we weren't informed of any upgrade and our keys didn't work for the club floor. We went up to the reception and asked them to grant us access to club floor and showed them the invitation. It took a couple of bewildered looks and the keys were reprogrammed and we were good to go.

Complimentary snacks that I tore through!

Awesome JBL dock, got plenty of use from me!

Holding Plat. status made the stay (a tad bit) more worthwhile.

Wonder if it is genuine or faux ostrich leather.

Walking past the elevator one will meet these cubicles, all equipped with international power ports.



The inside of the said cubicles.

I wonder where they got their inspiration from...

Hint: Perhaps a HKG-based carrier?

Whilst sitting here I remember thinking "Gosh, I'm pretty lucky to be sitting here." Times like these make me count my blessings.

Not to worry. Nothing special.

Danke of the nice pics. So you'd recommend it again?

The product is most definitely on par with other GH's though nothing spectacular. Holding Plat. status made the stay (a tad bit) more worthwhile.

EDIT: on par, if not superior. I'm not used to staying in many top-of-the-line hotels being only 17 but I was impressed.

Here are the lobby photos!



As soon as you walk out of the elevator and turn left you will see the check in counters and this security guard that insisted in being in all of my photos.



If you turn your head right you will see the lobby lounge.



Check in counters from another angle. Note the standardized use of VAIO laptops.



If you walk past the counters you will see this elevator which takes one downstairs to Thirty Eight, the in house restaurant and bar.

Further on in the same direction is the other side of the lobby lounge with the restaurant below.

Club photos to follow.

The most slick teapot I have ever seen!

The next set of photos will be of the lobby + reception and the club lounge.

Main counter unit.



The usual.

Apologies for the delay, here are the photos!



The first sight when you enter the room.



Another angle



The desk and TV which rotates outwards and swivels so it can face the bed.



My biggest pet peeve in hotel rooms is the chairs they use, some are dreadful. This one, thankfully, is not!



The bathroom, apologies for the horrible angle.



With a flick of a button, the glass can be made opaque!

More to come!
