The Majestic Hotel KL, built since the 1930s, is a posh YTL classic hotel considered by many to be the Grand Dame of heritage hotels in this part of the world. It has served dignitaries, politicians and super stars, being one of the elite few to be included among the prestigious collection of hotels known as among the ‘Leading Hotels of the World’. Therefore, it was with a great sense of anticipation when we were invited to The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur for an stay.  What gave us the grandest impression is not only the grandeur and colonial-era charm but the seemingly humble interactions that have left an indelible impression on us. So, we\u2019ve decided to use these experiences as a prelude to our recount of staying at the magnificent Majestic Hotel KL. <\/p>\n

The kids<\/em>: From the restaurant to the caf\u00e9, the lobby to the corridors, the staff at The Majestic Hotel KL are remarkably good with kids! Considering that this is one of the most luxurious hotels in a cosmopolitan city like KL, we certainly didn\u2019t expect this level of warmth. In fact, we were much afraid that with our little Buddy would be chided for the occasional excitable screams when he wandered around the hallways but all of those were unfounded. At meal times, the waiters, waitresses were so attentive, speaking to them and acknowledging them. Granted these moments did not last long as they were also busy with other guests, the fact that they made the effort made the difference.<\/p>\n

The sincerity<\/em>: It\u2019s one thing to offer a service but it’s another to do it with sincerity. Here at The Majestic Hotel KL, you can see it and sense it from the warm smiles, the gentle bows, the kind gestures and those friendly eyes in every greeting and interaction (on that note, everyone seems to know and greet us by our last names!). Throughout our short 3D2N stay, we felt so welcomed, so heartwarmingly special. It felt as though we have come home to a hotel that has known us for years.<\/p>\n

The carton boxes<\/em>: The night before our flight home to Singapore, we were struggling with how to bring home the Chinese New Year delicacies given to us by my Mum-in-law. So gingerly and apologetically, we tried calling the concierge at close to 11pm to ask if they have a carton we can use. We were prepared to be given a used carton or very much to pay for a new one if they offer us.<\/p>\n

Within half and hour, a smiling young concierge staff appeared at our room door with a new carton, complete with a roll of packing tape in hand and even went a step further to ask if we needed any help with sealing the box. We were pleasantly surprised but sheepishly declined since it was close to midnight. As the room door closed, it symbolically sealed our strong positive impression of the hotel.<\/p>\n

The Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accommodation at The Majestic Hotel KL are housed in the art deco style Tower Wing and the original part of the building known as the Majestic Wing. The Junior Suite we stayed at the Tower Wing was stylish, modern and exudes a classical charm with its four poster bed and plush bedding. But what appealed to the two kids most was the bathroom which came with its own free standing bathtub. Needless to say, they were granted their wish of night soaks before bedtime.  It was quite comical to see little Buddy enjoying his baths so much.<\/p>\n
