Top choice in Kuantan
This centrally located boutique hotel has a slick lounge downstairs with very helpful staff – with chromed-out styling over six floors, while the lift announces each floor in a very posh British accent. Standard rooms are a bit small, but deluxe rooms feature floor-to-ceiling views of the riverway. Breakfast includes continental choices.
Hotel parking is to the rear of the property. If parking out front, note that the kerbs are particularly high, so take care.
