Hotel guests – whether they are shopaholics or food aficionados – have easy access to popular shopping hotspots and well-known dining establishments at Jalan Alor and Changkat Bukit Bintang. Impeccable service await guests at Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur, which I experienced upon checking in over a weekend.
