Hotel Lobby on the 40th floor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Element by Westin at Kuala Lumpur<\/strong> is located near Kuala Lumpur City Centre (known as KLCC), just a 15-minute walk to the most famous structure in KL, Petronas Twin Towers. By car, it takes 5 minutes. (Element provides free shuttle there.)<\/p>\n

The hotel lobby is situated on the 40th floor of the\u00a0Ilham Tower so when you check in, you will already be greeted with a bird’s eye view of the city.<\/p>\n

ROOM<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was placed in the Studio Skyline <\/strong>(approximately 400 ringgit, S$130 for weekend), just one step up from\u00a0Studio.<\/strong> The difference is I have a view of Petronas Twin Towers. For 50 ringgit more, you can upgrade to a suite.<\/p>\n

Entrance: behind the mirror is the toilet. On the right, it is the wardrobe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are many things I like about the room:<\/strong><\/p>\n

-there is so much space<\/strong>. So much. Which is great and liberating. I feel like I can dance in the room.<\/p>\n

-the bed<\/strong> is the most important thing in a hotel for me. And this bed is very comfortable. You sink into it, doze off, and cannot wake up like Sleeping Beauty. Two of my friends missed roll call because the bed is so comfortable. It is slightly too soft for me but I’d rather a soft bed to a rockhard bed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Large space<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

-there are usb outlets<\/strong> by the side of the beds to charge mobile phones. YAY.<\/p>\n

USB ports by the side of the bed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

-My favourite part is they treat you like adults<\/strong>. Most hotels design that you place your keycard into a receptacle to connect electricity to the room.<\/p>\n

But at Element, they don’t. They have a master switch at the entrance of the room and when you leave, you just need to turn it off. When you enter, turn it on. That is, Element trusts you enough to be responsible for saving electricity and the environment like an adult should.<\/p>\n

–kitchenette<\/strong>: for you to heat up leftovers with a microwave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No bottled water but they have 3M filtered water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

–nightlight<\/strong>. Many people like to keep a light on when staying in a hotel. But at Elements, you can switch off al the lights because there is a nightlight, which is bright enough in case you want to visit the toilet in the middle of the night, but yellowish enough so that you can sleep without interruption.<\/p>\n

–Amenities<\/strong>: they have all the standard hotel amenities here: hairdryer<\/strong>,\u00a0iron<\/strong>,\u00a0ironing board<\/strong>,\u00a0safe<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n

–Eco-friendly<\/strong>: They don’t give bottles of water (yay, cut down on plastic), but they provide a 3M filtered tap for water. The shower gel and shampoo come from dispensers (again, no plastic) although you can request for bottled shower gel and shampoo. They change bedsheets only when you place a card on the bed, and change towels when you throw them on the floor.<\/p>\n

–Pricing<\/strong>: really fantastic pricing for a city hotel.<\/p>\n

\"\"
View from the room: one of the Twin Towers is obstructed, but you can see the Menara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

-The\u00a0view<\/strong>: you can see a partial view of the Twin Towers from here. One of the towers is blocked by Four Seasons hotel, but still, it’s a good view.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nightview. DAMN YOU, Four Seasons, for blocking the view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Things I don’t like about the room:<\/strong><\/p>\n

–no bathtub<\/strong> at entry-level room although there are bathtubs in suites. The toilet is huge enough to put in a bathtub.<\/p>\n
