10/10 Excellent
"The Mandarin Oriental sits beside the Petronas Towers in KL. The hotel is large and welcoming, the staff very pleasant and attentive. The hotel is right beside the mall and close to other hotels in the CBD making it an ideal stay. Highly recommended hotel in KL"

What is a historic hotel like in Chinatown?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a building that has been officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Chinatown usually retain original qualities such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the building and architecture itself. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Chinatown have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities from a contemporary hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. Booking a historic hotel in Chinatown doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
