I ♥ travel
I ♥ Malaysia
Love to sing this tourism jingle that goes:
"Malaysia ~ truly Asia"!
"Malaysia ~ truly Asia"!
Have you heard of it?
They always play it on TV everytime they feature the tourism advertisement jingle on Malaysia...☺

"Kuala Lumpur is the best walking town in Southeast Asia.
With a population of less than 2 million, it has all the amenities of a much larger city yet retains an intimate, almost cozy charm.
Wandering the streets of KL ~ as abbreviation-crazy Malaysians call their capital
~ you soon discover that the city is one great emporium."

HIBISCUS
~ National Flower of Malaysia
~ National Flower of Malaysia
Interestingly, my research tells me Malaysia imported it from the Philippines.
But still, there are reports that say it originated from China.
(Hmm. What's this thing we seem to have with China...first the Spratlys...now the Hibiscus re: issue of orig.Malaysian origin? Just a thought, heheh. Kidding!) ☺
On the other hand, d'you guys know that Malaysia and South Korea have the same Hibiscus family as national flower?
Malaysia's is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis while South Korea's is Hibiscus syriacus.
(In our beloved Philippines, Hibiscus is our very own Gumamela.) ☺
The Corus Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
View of Petronas Towers from our hotel! ☺
This is the hotel lobby.
And this was my room.
Nice, isn't it?! ♥
It was actually my 'BFF' Doctora Fedelaine who booked our hotel room reservations online.
I would've preferred Marriott Hotel because hubby and I are Elite members of their Marriott Rewards Program but 'BFF' Fed got very good deals on our KL hotels (50%-70% discount! woohoo!)

All in all, we get to occupy two hotels while in KL, accomodating two rooms each time.
I like the Corus Hotel not only because of its international standards, but also because of its very convenient location
~ the 5-minute walk it takes to reach the world-famous Petronas Towers, Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, and entertainment & shopping outlets makes it an ideal hotel location.

Not only that, it is also very near the LRT or Light Railway Transit
~ just a 2-minute walk.

On our first night at KL, we were happy to go to Petronas just a short walking distance away. ☺

ReplyDeleteOur room was clean and the shower had good pressure. The room was facing the pool and Petronas towers, which was very nice. The breakfast was good and varied choice of food. The location is one of the best close to the towers, restaurants and shops.

Shopping Tip : close to shopping mall at petronas towers. also close to lrt for access to other parts of teh city
very good city location
ReplyDeleteexcellent service cooperative staff but traverl desk is not customer friendly
We were going to be in KL for exactly one day only, and wanted to make the most of it. Being in our 20s we were mostly interested in checking out the nightlife, shopping and ofcourse a visit to the Petronas. Corus worked out perfectly for this as it is situated right in the center of town. Bukit Bangtang is a 10 minute cab drive away and that's where most of the action really is. I must however admit that we were expecting a fab view of the Petronas from the room and that wasn't the case completely. The room only faced one tower - so that was a bit disappointing. Breakfast was very elaborate too. All in all was the best choice we could make.
ReplyDeleteits near to klcc, pavillion, china town.
ReplyDeleteOne thing about the hotel that needs to be improved that is the noise at night, the guest will have to suffer from the noise of the traffic.
Shopping Tip : Its near to shopping centers.
