The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur

Waleed AlBahli

The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur is an exceptional experience by all standards. The location is superb, just steps away from Pavilion Mall and within walking distance of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. The rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the service is outstanding from the moment you arrive until checkout. The staff are professional and anticipate your needs before you even ask. The breakfast buffet is varied and delicious. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious stay in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Sunday brunch is a must do. Even if you do not stay here as we did. The service is amazing and waiter Shamim Is the local version of the Japanese culture of kikubari, delivering service before you expect it. Having made many trips to Japan, I have become accustomed to the local service level. Shamim is one of the few waiters outside Japan that delivers service at the same level.

Hot and cold food are of high-quality. The desert indicates that there is no real pastry chef on location. Cocktails are good and the Prosecco is better than some Champagnes. Although I am quite disappointed that a hotel like this does not serve a brunch with Champagne

An Exceptional Afternoon Tea Experience! This was, without question, the best afternoon tea experience we have ever had. Sally Cheah Chooi Lin and the entire Afternoon Tea team were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Sally was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does. She shared thoughtful details about the tea service, including that the clotted cream is sourced from Devon and the raspberry jam comes from Europe. These small touches showed the level of care and authenticity behind the experience. I have previously had high tea at the Taj in Mumbai, but this surpassed it with flying colours. The flavours, presentation, atmosphere, and service were exceptional. The entire team was warm, gracious, and attentive throughout our visit. Sally in particular stood out for her kindness and attentiveness. She also shared wonderful recommendations about Kuala Lumpur, which we greatly appreciated. Sally truly represents the Ritz at its very best. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail embody the level of hospitality you expect from such an iconic establishment. Most importantly, the team made my mum’s birthday feel incredibly special. Their thoughtfulness and genuine hospitality made the afternoon unforgettable. We are very grateful for such a memorable experience.

Rooms looked a bit worn down and the beds were a bit too springy (could feel every movement on a king size bed if you're sleeping with your significant other). Not the best room compared to other Ritz-Carltons I've stayed at but the location was great. Proximity to Pavilion mall which also has access to the connection sky bridges that take you to other areas such as the Petronas Twin Towers/KLCC. In the opposite direction of Pavilion, there's The Exchange TRX which is less crowded and has a giant plaza in front of it with many restaurants in nearby streets. Hotel breakfast had decent selection and the club lounge was nice too. If you booked a club room, you can access the club lounge on the ground level. Club Lounge was great. We had afternoon tea and evening snacks there. They pretty much had something to offer throughout the day which was nice for those who plan to spend the day at the hotel or in the area. The hotel was a bit confusing to navigate around at first due to lack of visible signage and the front desk person that checked us in did not help us figure out how to get to the elevators. We also weren't told where the club lounge was so a lot of the first day navigating around the hotel we had to do ourselves. Other than that, service was decent. We celebrated our anniversary here and the hotel staff provided us with a nice treat in the room. Overall a good stay.

Great experience. Everything was exactly what you would expect from a hotel of this category. The rooms are spacious and the staff is friendly and helpful. The pools (two in total, one of them adults-only) are very nice, although the number of sun loungers is limited. Getting around the hotel can be a bit confusing at first, as it is large with many corridors and different levels, so it took us some time to find our way. Breakfast was good, with a solid selection of options. In the morning, however, there was sometimes a short wait for a table, which the staff managed well. That said, it might be worth considering expanding the breakfast area to minimize waiting times.
