CONCLUSION

Being the newest hotel in Kuala Lumpur to join the Hilton family, I was really excited to stay here. Did it live up to my expectations? I would say it did. The rooms were modern and well appointed and the amenities including 2 pools were impressive. I would say that the executive lounge was a nice added feature although the all day refreshments could have been better as well as the happy hour offering. The breakfast offering was very good. The location is not central, unless you are there to play golf 😉 Luckily, Grab is cheap and you can always take one to the nearby Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall. Overall, it was a nice stay although with so many Hilton properties in Kuala Lumpur, I´d choose the ones in the city next time.
