Doubletree KL is the hotel i like the most right now. With enough advanced booking, you can get club room RM450-RM500(all tax inclusive, for a public holiday! and so far allow us option to dine in breakfast buffet instead of only club lounge though we didnt buy breakfast) for a staycation where you dont need to worry about breakfast lunch dinner. Last minute booking can get very expensive till i think RM800. Their free choc chip cookie during check-in, and sometimes during checkout(if you ask nicely) is a very nice touch.

Club lounge closes at 8pm which is very early, but i can live with that

Swimming pool open till 10pm, yay

Their afternoon fare on club lounge are very nice and around 3 visits we had so far. Real dairy cream (yum) with scone, i can eat just the cream by itself

the kuih and cakes are nice as well on all ~3 visits we had

I find their dinner fare average. And they always run of of table/space, so if you go just a bit late, they will tell you to go back to your room, and will call you once they have tables. So just go to dinner early!

their breakfast buffet is FABULOUS. On some visit, even a chinese section that has soy bean drink/longan drink, tea egg/braised spicy chicken feet(so yum)

The club lounge breakfast is very limited, and the on-order waffle is terrible, so great that they allow us to dine in downstair buffet

Swimming pool open till 10pm

Overall, this is my top favourite hotel, have visited i think ~ 3/4 times this year. Great buffet when booked in advance. Go go go

I dont have much recollection of my stay of grand millenium, which probably means it is not that great stay and i wont be returning.

The location is great, basically just walk out and few steps away is Pavillion shopping mall

Club lounge

The club lounge is quite big, ample of tables, and even have upstair small tables, and a quiet meeting room downstair.

We went to Lot 10 to dine in a restaurant with high google review, but the food is just normal, nothing great, i think there is like some discount or something for leaving google review, no wonder so much good reviews.

lounge close at 10pm

one of the down side is the pool is oddly shape, quite deep for children beyond the horizontal divider, very sunny, dont open late enough… I just dont really like the pool

pool open till 8pm

Food are quite nice, above average for lounge. I just it is just the pool, but dont know why, i am just not very fond/drawn to revisit this…. oh ya, i think partly cos club room dont have option to dine in the hotel breakfast buffet unless paying extra

end of 2023 i had a root canal done, due to above picture can see my gum was swollen

at first wen to bangsar government dental clinic, but decided to go to private, for better workmanship(hope) and no need wait

above is after went to Jac Lam Edodontic in Bukit Damansara. It was recommended by my dentist, and Edodontic is specialist in root canal etc, they dont do other work like scaling, patching etc. It took 2 visits to finish the root canal, cost total RM3400 for just the root canal, which (breakdown: RCT molar: RM1600, Pulpectomy RM1300, Adhesive filling: 300 etc)

Then i went back to my regular dentist to put on crown, forgot how much, think 500-1k.

According to Jac Lam/dentist, root canal may not last forever, and depends on usage, think they say 6-10 years. The bane of not taking care of my teeth when in primary school, most of the tooth decay occur then.

Jac Lam recommend below Implant specialist (in case needed)

Recently I have been trying out staying in hotel room which has club lounge.
Traders hotel klcc and doubletree kl are my top 2. With traders hotel slightly cheaper than doubletree,

Their pool is covered, but cons is it open only till 7pm

the klcc view is magnificent if ur room is facing it

their lounge dinner cocktail food items is quite limited, but still worth a stay as their main is yummy on the day I stayed

Club lounge open till 9pm

Their club lounge has great views. Food choice at night time quite limited, but yummy

Worth a visit

we stayed Club room which allow us access to club lounge all the time. Child not allowed in club lounge after 7pm. They have this after-dinner-kinda cocktail hour where they serve this yummy chocolate truffle which I didn’t take picture of. However overall, I don’t think will stay here again as the pool is very dated and very odd shape(hard to swim) and the room is freezing cold during night sleep even when we off the air con. Club lounge allow me to eat with a toddler comfortable, without rush etc

they don’t have fresh juice in lounge breakfast. And even the juice in buffet breakfast don’t have the standard orange juice. I don’t mind eating in club lounge breakfast even the selection is smaller, as the buffet breakfast is not that better.
