Stayed at the Hotel of Life in Malaysia!!!

Stayed at the Hotel of Life in Malaysia 1 Kuala Lumpur·Marriott Autograph Collection The Majestic Hotel The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur can be considered the Peace Hotel of Kuala Lumpur. It opened in 1925 and was the most luxurious hotel in Kuala Lumpur during the colonial period. Recently, a high-rise building was constructed on the original site built in the early 20th century, so it is divided into new and old wings. It continues the luxurious colonial style of the 1900s while offering the convenience of a modern hotel. The new wing is the Tower Wing, with room sizes of 40㎡ and equipped with bathtubs. The old wing is the original hotel site built in 1925, exuding a strong sense of luxurious old money. The hotel's colonial afternoon tea area, orchid conservatory, restaurant, and smoking room are all in the old wing. On the night of arrival, an Indian gentleman was guarding the door. Pushing open the old-fashioned cream-colored glass door and walking through the various areas of the old wing, with faint music flowing in the background, it felt like a time travel, instantly placing me in the South Seas 100 years ago. I immediately fell in love with this hotel. I first stayed one night in the Tower Wing and then decisively upgraded to the Colonial Suite in the old wing. Every corner of the room, from the color of the wallpaper to the decorations and furniture, is filled with a retro South Seas style. The bathroom is very large and equipped with a vintage bathtub. The buffet breakfast is on the first floor of the Tower Wing, with a rich variety. Malaysia is a place of ethnic fusion, so the food flavors are diverse, including Indian, Malay, Chinese, and Western cuisines. You can basically find all kinds of common Malaysian dishes such as curry rice, roti canai, nasi lemak with rendang beef. I personally like pandan products, so I love their pandan buns. Features: The security at the hotel entrance still wears uniforms from a hundred years ago, which is very eye-catching. The hotel also sells teddy bears in the same uniform style for 100 MYR each. The afternoon tea in the orchid conservatory is also a major feature and needs to be booked in advance. But I think the Colonial Cafe area next door looks better and has more of the old South Seas style. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I didn't book afternoon tea there, which is a regret. In the evening, there are singers performing at the Colonial Cafe. If you order a drink, it's very relaxing. Nearby, there is the National Museum, and next door is the old central station. A 5-minute walk takes you to the National Mosque. From the National Mosque, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to Independence Square and Mural Street. Before checking in, I was a bit worried that the hotel has a long history and might not sleep well, but in fact, I slept very well, no need to worry.
