Prefectly situated in the heart of Kuala Lumpur CIty Centre (KLCC) Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur by Shangri-La is one of the most recognizable five-star accomodations in the capital city of Malaysia. It aims to carter both Business and Lesure travelers alike with Jet-set facilites, including the skybar where guest ca gaze upon the breathtaking panoramic view of the city’s immaculate skyline.

Instead of hiding away from the hustle and bustle of big city daily atmosphere, Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur by Shangri-La fully embrace the festivity. Located just across the majestic Petronas Twin Tower, the hotel offers direct covered access to some of the city’s most sought out destinations; including the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and is within walking distance of Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, the Bukit Bintang shopping district and local tourist attractions, which are all surrounded by gazillions restaurants, bars, clubs and cafes.

There are a total of 571 guestrooms in Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur by Shangri-la, all boasts simple decor and spacious interior with delightful contemporary design, especially hidden lights which dimly glows as the evening falls and aesthetically enhance the whole room’s ambience. Shangri- La, the parent company of Traders hotel, conceived the brand as service-oriented business hotels, so the rooms are equipped with practical amenities such as international electrical outlets, big workstations, free Wi-Fi and free suit pressing.

On my recent business trip to KL, I chose to stay at the room with full-fronts views of the famous KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers. The room is spacious and perfectly designed with minimalist style yet comfortable, complete with plush amenities. Breakfast is provided at the renowned Gobo Chit Chat at level 5 serving a wide variety of delicious breakfast dishes of Asian and western fare.

During your stay, you must take time to visit their famous SkyBar. Perched on the top most floor of the hotel (33rd, mind you), this venue has been a perennial favorite among KL’s party goers. The venue re-emerges with two gleaming new bars, enhanced seating area, and culinary bar for food preparation. The signature 26m-long pool on the center of the venue remains untouched to act as a blue oasis in the midst of polished glass, steel fittings and solid concrete jungle. Come after sunset—around 6pm local time, to enjoy an utmost calmness in the usual frantic pace of KL and get ready for a night of revelry. It’s highly recommended for you to sink into the plump cushion of the sofas, sip upon a glass or two of mojito between the laid-back conversation, and look upon the glorious view of shimmering Kuala Lumpur skyline, dominated by the presence of iconic Petronas Twin Towers nearby.
