The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Luxury Hotel - Crazy Rich Asians!!!

My review of The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur Hotel, Malaysia which is a luxury hotel under the Marriott portfolio of properties.
For reference, I am a Titanium Elite Marriott Bonvoy member.
If you didn’t know, a scene from the movie “Crazy Rich Asians” was filmed here at the Astor Bar!
I booked a Standard King Guest Room with a city view for 2 nights. However, as a Titanium Elite member I received a complimentary upgrade to The St. Regis Suite.
Check In was completed in my Suite - and not in the lobby area! You can watch a detailed video on KZbin at Luxury Vegan Travel.
The Suite is 98sm or 1,485 sq ft. It comes with a separate guest cloakroom and your own private treatment room!
I have dinner at The Brasserie, a French fine dining restaurant and also at the Astor Bar. I check out all the facilities and chat with the staff! Watch the video on KZbin at Luxury Vegan Travel.
My only concern is on the cost of food. On both evenings, I had dishes that were freshly made and chosen by the Chef(s) and thus, these dishes were not standard items of the menus, which could explain why the cost was higher than expected. You could alternatively order from an app like Grab or visit a restaurant nearby.
Overall, would I recommend this hotel? Definitely - YES! Great experience! Would I return? Definitely - YES!

I think 99.9999% will choose Breakfast as the welcome gift 😂

[@loveflyingandhotels]

Absolutely, especially given the cost of food in this hotel 😂

The drawing room café is kinda tight and crampled, for a five stars hotel, that area could have been wider and spacious with more distance between the tables. And the botero horse is definitely so big that it makes the place tiny. The hotel is nice but space wasn't their main objective I believe. I have been to that hotel and that is the feeling I have. 😢

The same hotel in Singapore is far better! Bangkok is not too bad either.

The breakfast and afternoon tea are included in your room rate, right?

[@loveflyingandhotels]

Hello, as a Titanium Elite member I booked this on a ‘room only’ basis and used my welcome gift to select a complimentary breakfast. This did not include afternoon tea. The afternoon tea is chargeable. However, they do offer package deals which might include afternoon tea. I just checked what the current package deals include, and at the moment it is breakfast, and a three course dinner at the brasserie - see T&Cs. The package deals they offer, may change from time to time, so it’s worth maybe keeping an eye out or just paying for the afternoon tea separately. .

How to pronounced the executive chef name? - 11.53

[@loveflyingandhotels]

The Exec Chef is Keith Hooker. To pronounce this, think, it would be like Kei-th Hook-er

What were the prices like for the in room minibar?

[@loveflyingandhotels]

😱 i’m so sorry, I didn’t include the prices for the minibar. I normally do, but must’ve forgotten on this occasion. From memory, the alcoholic beverages are expensive! Here is a link to the menu for The Braserie which I think is similar to the in room minibar. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. drive.google.com/file/d/1gBAgKE5Oon6N_ZDTbPdASkFzw65WuBTf/view

@@loveflyingandhotels Thanks for the reply! Staying in a few months, looks like one of the better hotels in KL.

[@loveflyingandhotels]

@@catarinav7947 very nice. In terms of the luxury properties under the Marriott brand. i’ve come across quite a few people who were making the decision in staying either at this hotel or the Ritz Carlton. One of these friends work for Marriott hotels, although it’s a different brand and is a director for Operations. She said that she felt underwhelmed at the Ritz Carlton, which made me choose the St Regis, instead. Having looked at reviews and stayed at a few different Ritz Carlton is around the world. I was glad to make the choice that I did. If you do intend to stay there, I hope you enjoy it 😀
