The Mandarin Oriental, KL

I remember the first time I heard the name....was it in Hong Kong? Was it in reference to Graham Greene? Was it a novel? At any rate, the place has always been out of reach for me...we had drinks in Bangkok once, but that’s the extent of it. So, when I was looking for a hotel in KL, and saw it pop up at $149 a night (when I’ve checked before, rates start at $450), we decided to go for it. So this is just a little photo montage of our experience. What’s notably missing is the fabulous breakfast buffet. I didn’t think to whip out my camera to show the Indian, Chinese, Malay, English, and continental breakfast options, but they were fabulous.

Also notable were the two bathrobes per person....one terry and one thin cotton. We actually saw someone jump in the pool wearing the full terry robe.
