Kuala Lumpur
The comfortable, butterscotch and blue decorated hotel rooms occupy the 15th to 26th floors of this new 40-storey tower – a forerunner of how much of currently low-rise Kampung Baru will likely end up. There's a great wrap-around pool with views towards the city's skyline and over the Malay village (while it lasts).
Rates are slightly higher for Saturday and Sunday nights.
