Not another Kuala Lumpur hotel review I hear you all groan??! But yes, there are still more reviews to come and today?s installment will share with you the highlights of the Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur. For those who are unfamiliar, the Ritz Carlton chain is part of the Marriott group and provides seventy upscale luxury properties over the world. The chain is arguably one of the west?s finest hotel chains with it?s closest rival in Canada?s Four Seasons chain. Ritz-Carlton is luxury there is no doubt, but how does it compare to Asian properties? Lets find out? Booking I booked my one night stay at the hotel over the telephone.

Review of The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur

On the streets of Philadelphia

Advantages: Excellent performances, story and sound track
Disadvantages: None
