ITC Sheraton – an awesome hotel for your next visit to Kuala Lumpur
Posted on November 20, 2019 by Ghoomophiro
During our last trip to Malaysia, we stayed at ITC Sheraton. Located in the city center of Kuala Lumpur and just steps away from the city monorail and LRT (Light Rail Transit) lines via Dang Wangi Station) and Monorail via Medan Tuanku Station. It sits amidst amazing tourist destination nearby including Chinatown (15minutes), Buli Bintang (10 minutes), Central Market (10minutes), HSC Medical Center (15 minutes), Prince Court Medical Center (15 minutes)and National Heart Institute (15 minutes). Both Kuala Lumpur International Airport 1 and 2 are only an hour’s drive and airport transportation is available. Moreover, it provides airport transportation. Moreover, over our long history of international tours ‘Sheraton’ has become a trusted brand name with us and we have often come to depend on it over time.
This amazing hotel has nearly 400 rooms – some smoking and other non-smoking. Our rooms – the standard ones were amply spacious, tidy and well-ventilated with air conditioning, a walk-in closet, nice comfortable pillows, clean toilets, and flat television screens. The rooms came with safe and ironing facilities. The toilets had free toiletries as well as a bathtub. The suites, VIP rooms, and family rooms are also available. Of course, room service is available. The best thing about the rooms though was the presence of a mini bar in the room. There is also a business center and facilities for holding conferences – making it perfect for business tours.
The hotel provides free high-speed WiFi internet, an outdoor swimming pool we took full advantage of, a fitness center with Gym or workout room – which is a facility of great importance for someone like us who travel a lot. There was also a lounge with a bar. And we highly recommend taking advantage of the Mandara spa here. Free parking facility available and they also avail rental cars.
The front desk is opened all hours and can be approached for currency exchange, tour arrangements, concierge services, etc. The staff was friendly, eager to serve and hospitable – all smiles and well informed as they answered our often stupid questions and put up with our mildly annoying eccentricities.
The best part about ITC Sheraton though is amazing food. Delicious varieties of local as well as international seafood are available in as many as 5 in-house dining options. Its Celestial Court restaurant offers authentic seafood which we, Ghoomophiro Sisters, could never have enough of. If you are looking for something romantic, Villa Danieli is the place for you. Styled after a rustic country home, it is a free-standing trattoria perfect for romantic Italian dinners. For International Cuisine you can and should try dining at Essence.
The prices are starting from approx 6000 INR and go on to more than double that rate. Given its prime location in a spot which attracts tourists from all over the world and the incredible perks it offers, we found the price very reasonable. The panoramic views of skyline available from the building and some of the open spaces made it seem like a lot to us.
Much like other Sheraton hotels, ITC Sheraton at Kuala Lumpur more than met our expectations. They have a way of being a one-stop solution to all your tourist needs and still managing to delight you. Their high rating of 8.7 at Booking.com is for very good reasons. Thus we personally highly recommend ITC if Malaysia (Truly Asia) is your next tourist destination.
