Offering a good range of rooms, some with views towards KL Tower,
this hotel makes a credible stab at boutique stylings. We particularly liked the sensuous
design motif snaking its way across the corridor and bedroom walls.

It's worth paying an extra RM10 at this appealing new hotel to get a room with a window.
Each floor is named after a curry ingredient, but the decor is monochrome rather than
spicy.

Pro-
motions halve the rack rates at one of Chinatown's best midrange options, although
there's a small surcharge for weekend stays. The comfortable rooms are well equipped.
The hotel also has a Balinese-style spa and can arrange homestays around the peninsula. It
also runs the business hotel

In a building belonging to Malaysia's National Olympic Committee
(hence the name), this is a respectable performer for its price bracket. The location, close
to Chinatown and both monorail and LRT terminals, is convenient yet quiet. The pleas-
antly decorated rooms are spacious.
