Hilton Kuala Lumpur: Now With Free Goldfish

Where: 3 Jalan Stesen Sentral, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 50470

The Kuala Lumpur Hilton has gone sexy.

In an effort for the Hilton Hotels Corporation to shed its stuff conservative image, the Kuala Lumpur location opened in December featuring "42-inch flat-screen TVs in every guest-room, mini LCD TVs embedded in shaving mirrors, glass bathroom walls that slide fully open, innovative restaurants and the funkiest bar in town."

Other niceties include hardwood floors for a "residential feel," glass walls between the bedroom and the bathroom, and a good-looking staff (An image consultant advise staff on hair styles and make-up and come in every week to do haircuts for free.)

A recent guest also revealed a Hilton amenity, called "Lifestyle Boxes."

"All rooms come with lifestyle boxes, which were a unique idea, in these boxes labeled business, relaxation and leisure were items to borrow or purchase to enhance your stay. For example the business box came with free use of office supplies but for a deposit you could use a mobile phone and only be charged for phone calls via a pre-paid phone card. The relaxation box came with free jet lag bath salts to use. Or as I did, I ordered a complimentary pet goldfish in a bowl, which was relaxing to look at for the duration of my stay. My fish was named Dee Dee and I got attached to her."

Uh-oh, free goldfish, better keep the frat boys away.
