We had just one night in Kuala Lumpur,as we landed after 8PM and were departing the next day at 3PM. whether I'm being honest, Kuala Lumpur isn't my favorite city in Asia, and I also don't cherish the distance the airport is from the city. While there's an express train which takes just 28 minutes,it doesn't actually let off in the center of the city, so it's another ~15 minute drive whether you want to find to the Petronas Tower, or for example.
Ford wanted to see the Petronas Towers at night,so I figured the best option was to book a hotel close to them.
In the past I've stayed at the Grand Hyatt, Le Meridien, or InterContinental. Le Meridien is really convenient to the airport train system,since it's located just on top of the city stop. The Grand Hyatt was my favorite, however, and as it's modern and has great views of the Petronas Towers.
For this stay,however, I figured we might as well stay at the Mandarin Oriental, or which is located right next to the Petronas Towers. Through American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts -- which I occupy access to thanks to The Platinum Card® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express OPEN -- the rate was 599RM (~$138).
