Frommer's "Sister hotel to the Shangri-La, this business hotel advertises itself as a "value" choice for accommodations, but room rates can be pricey." Full review
Insight Guides "Possibly the best value four-star hotel in KL with a great KLCC location and within walking distance of all the Bukit Bintang retail action."

Choose park view rooms and visit the SkyBar on the 33rd floor for KL’s best evening views of the Twin Towers.
Time Out "An uber-stylish hotel that is one of KL’s absolute finest. Attractive rooms and great service are only bettered by the superb gymnasium and the iconic Sky Bar on the roof." Full review

"The 571-room Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur is a sleek luxury chain property with an excellent location and a lively rooftop nightclub." Full review
Afar Magazine "Apart from its nice, modern interiors and lovely little pool on the rooftop, it's located right smack in the middle of KL, with an unbelievable view of the KLCC Park." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"With the Petronas Twin Towers facing front and dead-ahead, Traders boasts the best view of any hotel in Kuala Lumpur." Full review
Lonely Planet "The views are good either way, but it’s probably worth paying the small supplement for a room facing the Petronas Towers at this contemporary design addition to KL’s portfolio of luxe hotels." Full review
Michelin Guide "A tastefully modern high-rise luxury hotel...the interiors, then, are suitably minimalist, to provide a visual refuge from the view through the window, while the comforts are anything but minimal." Full review
