I ♥ travel
I ♥ Malaysia
Love to sing this tourism jingle that goes:
"Malaysia ~ truly Asia"!
"Malaysia ~ truly Asia"!
Have you heard of it?
They always play it on TV everytime they feature the tourism advertisement jingle on Malaysia...☺

"Kuala Lumpur is the best walking town in Southeast Asia.
With a population of less than 2 million, it has all the amenities of a much larger city yet retains an intimate, almost cozy charm.
Wandering the streets of KL ~ as abbreviation-crazy Malaysians call their capital
~ you soon discover that the city is one great emporium."

HIBISCUS
~ National Flower of Malaysia
~ National Flower of Malaysia
Interestingly, my research tells me Malaysia imported it from the Philippines.
But still, there are reports that say it originated from China.
(Hmm. What's this thing we seem to have with China...first the Spratlys...now the Hibiscus re: issue of orig.Malaysian origin? Just a thought, heheh. Kidding!) ☺
On the other hand, d'you guys know that Malaysia and South Korea have the same Hibiscus family as national flower?
Malaysia's is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis while South Korea's is Hibiscus syriacus.
(In our beloved Philippines, Hibiscus is our very own Gumamela.) ☺
The Corus Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
View of Petronas Towers from our hotel! ☺
This is the hotel lobby.
And this was my room.
Nice, isn't it?! ♥
It was actually my 'BFF' Doctora Fedelaine who booked our hotel room reservations online.
I would've preferred Marriott Hotel because hubby and I are Elite members of their Marriott Rewards Program but 'BFF' Fed got very good deals on our KL hotels (50%-70% discount! woohoo!)
~ I couldn't complain. (smile) ☺

All in all, we get to occupy two hotels while in KL, accomodating two rooms each time.
I like the Corus Hotel not only because of its international standards, but also because of its very convenient location
~ the 5-minute walk it takes to reach the world-famous Petronas Towers, Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, and entertainment & shopping outlets makes it an ideal hotel location.

Not only that, it is also very near the LRT or Light Railway Transit
~ just a 2-minute walk.

On our first night at KL, we were happy to go to Petronas just a short walking distance away. ☺

I enjoyed my stay as it was very comfortable. Break fast was excellent Location very good for travelling in the city with LRT located at a walking distance Room was excellent with good facilities
On the whole - I am looking forward to my next trip
I enjoyed my stay in Corus and really found the right hotel of my choice
Our room was clean and the shower had good pressure. The room was facing the pool and Petronas towers, which was very nice. The breakfast was good and varied choice of food. The location is one of the best close to the towers, restaurants and shops.
They upgraded my room into "honeymoon room", that's a very nice of them.
we stayed at corus two nights, room was very and clean. staff were very good and friendly. had no problems at all.
Shopping Tip : close to shopping mall at petronas towers. also close to lrt for access to other parts of teh city
excellent service cooperative staff but traverl desk is not customer friendly
One thing about the hotel that needs to be improved that is the noise at night, the guest will have to suffer from the noise of the traffic.
Shopping Tip : Its near to shopping centers.
