Bottom Line

The 571-room Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur is a sleek luxury chain property with an excellent location and a lively rooftop nightclub. Sharp rooms, some with views of the Petronas Twin Towers, are minimal in design and have free Wi-Fi, stocked minibars, electric kettles, and separate walk-in showers and soaking tubs. The fitness center has impressive views and an on-site spa offers massages and a sauna. A narrow indoor pool is set under a large skylight, next to the rooftop nightclub. Several dining and drinking options include a grill specializing in steaks and a buffet. Guests reveal staff can be less than warm, and the Traders Club doesn’t live up to other executive clubs at comparable hotels, but the location next to KLCC Convention Centre can't be beat. Another option to consider in the area is the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, a relatively recent addition opened in 2012.

Oyster Hotel Review

Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Scene

Luxury, chain hotel convenient for business travelers and popular with couples

The Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur has a covered walkway to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, an added convenience for guests attending business functions. But despite its business-focus, the hotel is also a favorite of vacationing couples who want to take advantage of The SkyBar, located on the 33rd floor of the hotel, a popular nightclub with views of the Petronas Twin Towers. Nightly DJ music sets the scene for club-goers who want to dance or huddle up on couches by the windows to take in the views of the lit-up towers at night, cocktail in hand. The lobby is a contemporary, bright space with modern patterned carpet and clusters of lounge chairs. The On The Go cafe on the ground floor has patio seating directly across from the park so guests can enjoy the scenic views. This is a sleek property that attracts both leisure and business travelers, but some guests have complained about less than warm service.

Rooms

Spacious, sleek rooms with free Wi-Fi, some with tower views

Rooms at Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur are spacious and sleek with an understated elegance. A neutral backdrop of tan walls, gray carpeted floors, and warm wood furnishings set the tone. Gray platform beds sport crisp white bedding, and accent walls with reddish stripes gives a hit of color, along with bold, geometric paintings in contrasting blue hues. Windows, just shy of floor-to-ceiling in length, offer plenty of natural light, and some have impressive views of the Petronas Twin Towers. All rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles, work desks, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are sleek with soft gray tiles and illuminated marble sink vanities. Walk-in showers and separate soaking tubs are standard, as are the magnifying mirrors, toiletries, and bathroom phones. Guests staying in Trader Club have access to club benefits such as free breakfast, high tea, and evening refreshments, but guests reveal the club isn’t as nice as others at comparable hotels.
