The Renaissance Kuala Lumpur is the hotel I use most frequently in Kuala Lumpur. The hotel is large, and is within easy walking distance of the KLCC Twin Towers. Within the Marriott programme the other option is the JW Marriott. Located by the Pavilion, I would argue the JW Marriott location is better, the rooms and breakfast restaurant are also better. However, I opt for the Renaissance more often than not because it usually comes in a little cheaper, but more importantly they pull out all the stops for elite members of the programme. During my last visit, despite being on a very low room rate, we were upgraded to a suite and were given a 18:00 late checkout. The lounge is always staffed and offers extended cocktail hours.
During my last visit I felt a little bad that I had spent nothing in the hotel, and therefore decided to treat myself to a couple of drinks after hours in the lounge- expecting to have to sign for the drinks. To my dismay the staff didn't charge me! At the JW Marriott elite members will find themselves on the executive floor, but you will have to be a more valuable customer than me to find yourself in a larger room.
The renaissance has a large swimming pool, the pool bar can sometimes have a nice vibe to it. The fitness studio and the spa are also very pleasant.
