Mandarin Oriental

Kuala Lumpur


At this hotel for sybarites, silks and batiks lend an Asian feel to the rooms, which have every conceivable amenity. The club rooms are the ones to pick, allowing access to a lounge overlooking the Petronas Towers.

There’s an excellent spa and an infinity pool that seems to merge into the parkland beyond.
