lounge into a destination. Guests can work here in silence in the
morning, schedule meetings during the day, and entertain their
business partners – even those not staying at the hotel – in the
afternoon. This surely beats going around town for meetings,
wasting time in traffic or waiting rooms.
The Pullman KLCC is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur,
making it the obvious choice for guests to schedule meetings
here. Although there are no walls separating the executive
lounge’s three main areas – meeting rooms, common sitting
area and dining area – the interior is designed to serve as
an invisible border between them. The meeting rooms and
computer area are at the far side of the executive lounge,
with the interior indicating that it is the more serious part.
The common sitting area is more laid-back, with a television
area, comfortable, colorful seats and sofas, and chic lighting
and carpeting. On the wall is a string of paintings depicting
Malaysian women wearing traditional headpieces and jewelry
from various parts of the country, against vivid backgrounds.
These paintings
speak a lot about the
Pullman brand, as they
highlight tradition in a
contemporary setting,
with old and new merged
seamlessly. Next to the
sitting area is the dining
area with a prominent
view of the snack bar, and
a live cooking area in the
corner. The refrigerator
and snack bar in the
executive lounge are
stocked with food and
beverages for guests to
enjoy throughout the
day. And as a bonus,
cocktails are served in the
afternoon.
After all work is done,
a relaxing dinner at the
restaurant Red Chinese
Cuisine is highly recommended. Located on the second floor
of the Pullman KLCC, the newly renovated eatery with its
red-accented interior serves traditional Chinese cuisine with a
modern, stylish approach. Not limiting itself to in-house guests
only, Red Chinese Cuisine also attracts non-staying guests,
especially with its weekend brunch, offering a selection of
more than 40 dim sum options. Meanwhile, for those craving
Japanese dishes, the Enju restaurant serves up the freshest
sushi and sashimi, as well as noodles and teppanyaki dishes,
with fine wines and sake in tow.
If shopping and sightseeing are on the agenda, the Pullman
KLCC is conveniently located in the Bukit Bintang area, which
is the city’s premier shopping district. Right across from the
hotel is Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, a luxury mall. Last but not
least, do as the locals do by going around town by hopping on
the monorail at the nearby Raja Chulan Monorail Station. After
exploring town, a relaxing massage at The Spa by Pullman is
definitely the best way to wrap up the day.
