Touring Kuala Lumpur - Day #3

Malaysia Day was a public holiday, since my boss was around and i have volunteered to bring her around Kuala Lumpur. We have planned to cover the National Mosque, Central Market, Skybar @ 33 Traders KLCC and Din Tai Fung.

Picked up my boss at 2:30pm from the hotel and headed to the national mosque, we arrived at around 3pm and realized we have 1 hr to walked around as the visitor hour is 3pm-4pm. Nothing much to see in the National Mosque. Anyway, it was my first visit to National Mosque.

After visiting the National Mosque, our next stop was Central Market for more shopping, it was the 2nd time my boss visited Central Market. She likes the market with lots of stuff that she can negotiate and purchase. Guess what? She got what she wanted in Central Market :)

Sunset @ Skybar 33 Traders KLCC is stunning but unfortunately that day the weather reported HAZY. No stunning sunset just the nice lighting of KLCC... Sigh~ Boss has no luck to see the stunning sunset. Anyway, she will be back early next year.

We chilled at Skybar until around 8pm and left for our dinner at Din Tai Fung, Pavillion. We walked over to Pavillion via the skybridge. Reached the restaurant and waited for around 10 mins then we were being seated at a nice and cosy corners. My colleague and I have ordered the food and boss was very enjoying with the food. 

Anyway, we ended the day with a good night greeting at the hotel lobby before headed home. 

SkyBar @ Traders Hotel

Yup! the bar is high up in the sky...

The famous and popular Skybar is located at 33th floors of Traders Hotel KLCC. The bar has become an icon or a must visit place when you are in  Kuala Lumpur.

SkyBar located at 33th floor of Trader Hotel. It started with a simple pool bar like other poolside bar in Kuala Lumpur. If you look into the picture below carefully, you would be able to see some people swimming in the pool. Once sundown... the Skybar will turn into a live bar with nice music and booze. Not to mention the spectacular view of Petronas Twin Tower as the backdrop of the bar which has made this place a very nice place to chill and hangout with friends after work or weekend.

Tour on Traders Hotel KLCC

The traders hotel management has invited my colleagues and I to drop by Skybar for chilling out over the skybar and later they provided a quick tour on Traders Hotel KLCC.

Our first stop - Executive Floor business lounges. The hotel offers free flow of alcohol and drinks at the executive floor business. Besides, the guest whom stayed in this floor will be able to have the breakfast in this lounges.

Then, we proceed to the deluxe room @ Executive floor. The Deluxe room is facing the petronas twin tower. Because of the weather was cooling, the windows was foggy but still it was a nice view.

After visiting the Deluxe room, we headed to the Suite which cost about RM570 per night. It was quite a cool and warm place. We stopped by there for a while, managed to take a couple of picture before we moved on to the gym.

The studio @ the Fitness center (gym) is facing the Petronas twin tower. It was a nice view while working out on the group exercise. The hotel provides some classes like Yoga etc. The gym is equipped with treadmill, x-trainer, stepper etc. Besides the cardio machine, the gym also equipped with various weight machine and different free weight dumbbell and barbell.

Our next stop after the gym was business center. There are two floors in the business center. Two type of meeting rooms, the rectangular table and the houseshoe shape table in two different meeting room. The business center design was very awesome with the new age interior design.

The hotel Lobby is located in the 5th floor of the building and the design of the lobby is very unique with the contemporary theme. Lot's of mirror has been used to reflect some lighting and the atmosphere and color was part of the design.

Gobo Chit Chat eating place is located @ the same floor with the lobby. This is a restaurant that in the traditional hotel, usually we named the restaurant as coffee house but for Traders Hotel KLCC, they named this place as Gobo Chit Chat eating place which providng the breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant environment is different from the conventional coffee house.

We ended our tour @ the ground floor of the Traders Hotel KLCC. The design of the ground floor is simple and spacious. BTW, i don't see any place for people to sit. Usually, the guest will be directed to 5th floor for checking in. Only group check in is done on the ground floor.

It was a quick and pleasant evening with Peter and the sales time. BTW, i would like to thank Pete for bring us around the hotel and shown us the hotel facilities. I wished i could hang out in Sky Bar soon and maybe check in the room to chill out over in Traders Hotel KLCC.

So, pay a visit to Skybar @ Traders Hotel KLCC... you will be able to see the nice and breathtaking Petronas Twin Tower.... :->
