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.... :->

Saturday Afternoon @ Starbucks Gurney Place

I changed my plan due to the sky got darker and darker on 13:30pm. Decided to just chill out in Starsbucks Gurney Place. I was surprise as there was not so much crowd. I was sitting in the Starsbucks since 13:35pm. Since i have a nice view of the whole Starbucks, I would like to get this opportunities to apply my observatory skill to spot some nice scenario that i could blog about... Stay tune for some update eh!


Time: 13:37

The three ladies made a mess before leaving the table. The barrister was so unhappy with that... unfortunately i could did not manage to take her facial expression. Anyway, i could not understand why people could not take care of the environment... leave with the place nice and clean. I think Malaysian need to change their mindset to keep the environment nice and clean for the next person.

Time: 13:53

This moment was so quiet as there is no people coming into the cafe :-p Not even 10 customers in Starsbucks in the Saturday afternoon 13:53, could you believe that? Starbucks! What has happened to this place, this is the most happening place in Penang. At about 14:00, the rain started and the crowd started to pop in... Was it because of the rain that brought the crowd in or just 2pm is the right time for all crowd to be in?

Time: 14:54

Time: 14:55

At 15:00, the place was almost full and the quietness of the place has turned into so much noise. Guess what? the group sitting at the side has contributed plenty of noise. Once they left 10 mins later, the whole cafe was now back to a nicer environment again.

At 15:36, the rain has stopped and it's time for me to hit back to the hotel before another rain starts :-p

Photo taking in Penang?

I'm looking for some activities as i don't know what should i do for the rest of the afternoon in this island... Maybe i should just walk around and take some picture again or just chill out in the mall down the road...

BTW, here is the view from the hotel i stay in Penang... anyone would able to guess what hotel i'm staying?



Update (1:30pm): The sky is getting darker and i have changed my plan to just sitting @ Starbucks and doing some blog reading. Not going anywhere, just wanted to sit by here and chill out. :->

SkyBar @ 33 floors Traders Hotel KLCC

A bunch of my colleagues and I got invited from the Traders Hotel management to pay a visit to their SkyBar @ 33 floors. The team has organized this small cocktail functions with some finger food and the specialty Lychee Martini (it's nice).


We took a cabbie service provided by the Traders Hotel for their guest from KLCC Fountain to Traders Hotel lobby. As we reached the ground floor of the Traders Hotel, we got into the lift and headed to the pretigious bar in Malaysia, the SkyBar @ 33 floors Traders Hotel.

Upon arriving we were greeted by Peter the sales manager and he just accompanied us to the table that he has reserved for us with a spectacular view of the Twin Towers. We chilled out while talking with Peter and his team, enjoying breathtaking view and sipping the Traders signiture drink - Lychee Martini.
