1. The Regency Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Adjacent to Safuan Plaza, The Regency Hotel Kuala Lumpur looks good on the outside. On the inside, it is a little jaded. It has only been seven years since the hotel was officiated on August 10, 2009 by the then Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin bin Yassin.
2. the lobby
Anyway, I understand the hotel is currently in the process of upgrading, so it is a matter of time before it becomes a choice hotel for visitors in the area.
3. Bakeshop & Cafetiam
The hotel is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur in an area called ‘Chow Kit’. It faces the wet market ‘Pasar Transit Zon B Pasar Jalan Raja Bot’. To me, the wet market knocks down the standard of the hotel by a couple of notches. It is too close for comfort.
4. looking over to the Market Front Coffee Terrace
Breakfast is served from 7am at the hotel’s funnily-named Market Front Coffee Terrace. This is also where you can enjoy all-day dining from 11am until 11pm.
5. my Deluxe room
Having stayed there for two nights recently, I realised that wet market aside, the location of the hotel is excellent. It is just a short walk from the Chow Kit Monorail Station. Two major shopping complexes in the area within walking distance that I am aware of are Maju Junction Mall (anchor tenant: Parkson) and Quill City Mall (anchor tenant: AEON).
6. my Deluxe room
Rack rates:
Superior Room: RM190+
Deluxe Room: RM220+
6% Goods & Services Tax is applicable
7. my Deluxe room
Moreover, Petronas Twin Towers and Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower) are also nearby. Some of the rooms overlook these two major iconic landmarks of the city. They are also visible from the swimming pool on the tenth floor and make a great sight at night when they are lighted up.
8. swimming pool on the 10th floor
I think it was a lovely touch that I came back to the hotel one night to see a bar of Hershey’s milk chocolate waiting for me, with my name printed on it. Definitely plan to return.
9. what a sweet personalised touch
