Hotel Room: The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur luxury.

The Ritz-Carlton is located on the west side of Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle district right in the heart of shopping heaven providing easy access to business and entertainment hub that is Bukit Bintang. What we love about staying at the Ritz is the extra attention to detail and excellent guest services which include your very own personal butler to take care of everything for you. Where else can you enjoy top class service at a fraction of the cost of a night’s stay in a Ritz in Europe?

If you’re in the mood to splurge, the Ritz-Carlton offers a High Performance package for the coming Formula 1 from April 1-5, 2010 that includes tickets for 3 days to the races positioned at the starting grid and access to the pit lane. The package includes a stay at their Executive- Deluxe room, limousine pick-up to and from Sepang Circuit, an amenity hamper with gourmet sandwiches to enjoy yourself at the circuit, and even cocktail drinks on the Saturday evening!
