Back to The Westin Kuala Lumpur for a 2D1N staycation! Service is still awesome as usual, and we tried out some new items from The Living Room’s buffet dinner and afternoon tea!
Have been really busy with daytime commitment recently, and yet to travel out from the country. So we decided to have a short staycation over the long weekend last week at The Westin Kuala Lumpur Hotel – for a “Play, Eat, Sleep, Work, Move and Feel Well” rejuvenating stay.
The Westin Kuala Lumpur has always been a popular accommodation choice, be if for locals, corporates and tourists. Strategic location within the KL’s Golden Triangle, with MRT Bukit Bintang station located just 5 minutes walk away, surrounded by luxury shopping malls including Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Starhill Gallery, Lot 10 and more. Not to forget, a wide variety of food options – a must while travelling.
For dining, The Westin Kuala Lumpur offers local and international fare at The Living Room All-day-dining Restaurant ; fine wines, premium liquors and artisan cocktails at 443 Bar & Coffee Lounge; crafted drinks and light bites at Splash Poolside Restaurant and Bar.

One Bedroom Westin Suite 2D1N
Check-in to One Bedroom Westin Suite at 30th floor this round. The living room is the area we love most. Spacious, fully-carpeted and furnished with work desk, dining tables, lounge sofa.

The bedroom is cozy, provides the necessary comforts to make you feel at home. What makes The Westin Kuala Lumpur bedroom more noteworthy is none other but the Heavenly® Bed – custom, uniquely designed with plush, pillow-top construction for premium comfort and support for luxurious sleeping experience.

Salt water pool with no chlorine – also one of the highlights of The Westin Kuala Lumpur’s facility.

Breakfast buffet, The Living Room
Rise & Shine. Back to The Living Room for buffet breakfast. Summergirl is a person who loves hotel buffet breakfast, for no reason. So skipping is a big no no to her, especially in a reputable 5-star hotel. This is our first time trying out their breakfast buffet and wow, the spread here doesn’t disappoint. Plenty of choices, something for everyone. Filled our plate with sausages, hash brown, salad, chicken loaf, cheese tomato and make our very own hearty big breakfast. Added omelette, sunny side up, or scramble eggs – cooked upon order, at Egg Station.
The drinks corner is worth a mention. You can have freshly squeeze juices here – orange, watermelon, carrot + turmeric, celery + cucumber, as well as strawberry smoothie, bluebeery smoothie. Probably the busiest counter, as the staff is seen non-stop replenishing the juices. We help ourselves few rounds on this too. Soo good. Indian station is our favourite station too. Roti Canai, vadai, samosa, thosai, paratha are all delicious.
