"The oldest hotel in KK doesn't need to manufacture character – it fairly drips it, in a dignified if dated way... There's also a very good restaurant, coffee shop, business centre and red London cab." Full review
"A combination of colonial-era charm and a central location make this hard to beat and, as elsewhere in KK, promotional prices are often on offer."
"This hotel—established in 1954—proudly celebrates the city's past with colonial details throughout. ... The central location is this old-timer's best asset." Full review

"Ten minutes from the airport and in the heart of the tourist center and harbor area, this complex sprawls with affordable, well-dressed accommodations and ample recreational facilities." Full review
"Spectacular shore-side development, divided into two separate hotels: Pacific is designed with business needs to the fore, whereas Magellan goes for luxury."
"While not as ‘old-world Asia’ as the stunning Shangri La, Sutera caters to big spenders with a cache of five-star amenities orbiting the vaulted lobby."
"Tucked within a sprawling resort, this hotel offers a wealth of activities, beginning with sailing and golf."
