The hotel is close to KL Sentral but not connected. The lobby isn't very spacious, but it's high ceiling and gives a luxurious feel. Check-in was quick and easy, and I was given a welcome drink of apple juice. I actually wanted to use a Nightly upgrade award to the John Jacob Suite but was rejected, but I was still upgraded to the Carolina Astor Suite. The Carolina Astor Suite at the St. Regis KL is very spacious. It was explained that there is no champagne ritual at the St. Regis KL, but there are martini hours. 24-hour butler service, including coffee, tea, and even packing and unpacking. It's executed flawlessly, you're just a phone call away.
Upon entering the room, you're pleasantly surprised to find it's comparable to a presidential suite of others hotel. The living room features a dining table, a work desk, and a long sofa with chairs. The interior is classic and elegant. The minibar is a cupboard, and there's also a powder room. Welcome amenities include chocolate covered with chocolate balls, and there's also a chocolate bar for the kids.
Unlike the living room, the bedroom's interior is more modern and elegant, with a combination of gray profile and silver accents. The bedroom features a bed, armchair, and desk. A luggage room with an open wardrobe creates a spacious feel, along with a dressing table and various necessities like a spa tub and full-body mirror. Furthermore, there's a private spa room that allows for in-room spa treatments.
The luxurious bathroom, finished in dark gray marble, features two washbasins, an electric toilet with heated seat, a shower, and a bathtub, complete with a TV. Amenities include Remede shampoo and soap.
Facilities include a swimming pool, gym, and kids' club. The kids' club is excellent, clean, spacious, and exclusive. It has slides, a ball pit, cooking area, TV, and books. I didn't try the pool because it was raining. The gym is spacious and nice.
Breakfast is very tasty, with a wide selection of proteins, and there's both an a la carte and a buffet.
The a la carte menu includes: Poached eggs, chawanmushi truffle, Canadian lobster with eggs, braised duck toastie, steamed sui gao, and fresh juice. And even though it's not on the menu, you can request Teh Tarik, which my wife says is the best teh Tarik she ever had
