Fantasizing About Hangin' With Sharks In Kuala Lumpur
Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving company's dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway; at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.
With some friends hanging out in Kuala Lumpur this week, without me, pretty much the only revenge I can get is by daydreaming of staying in a hotel that's far superior to their youth hostel. Getting a killer view will probably help to make my pals jealous, and so the choice comes down to the swimming pool and tennis courts of the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur or the view of the famous Petronas Towers from Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur - two hotels which, incidentally, are the current top two on the TripAdvisor list.
It's a tough choice, but I'm swayed by the Mandarin Oriental brand and the suggestion from its website that you can see the Petronas Towers from there as well. That, and the fact that I love the outlook from their swimming pool – who needs the rest of the city (no matter how amazing my friends have been telling me Kuala Lumpur is) when I can see half of it from a lazy poolside spot.
KL's Mandarin Oriental has a few interesting specials going but the one that grabs me today, strangely, is the "Dive With Sharks" deal: you get breakfast for two, then a dive with the sharks at the Aquaria KLCC including a T-shirt and certificate to say you survived; you also get a discount on an in-room massage (I might need it to calm down after coming face-to-teeth with the sharks) and the bit that especially caught my eye – you get a free dessert from the hotel restaurants once you spend more than 180 Ringgit ($50). The deal comes in at 845 Ringgit ($240) and runs through til the end of the year.
