Unbelievable KLCC Views! Luxury Shidai Tennō Suite (2-7 Guests)
Unbelievable KLCC Views! Luxury Shidai Tennō Suite: My Unfiltered Take (Prepare for a Rollercoaster!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups. I've stayed in the Unbelievable KLCC Views! Luxury Shidai Tennō Suite (2-7 Guests) and I'm about to give you the lowdown. Forget fluffy brochures and airbrushed photos. This is the real deal, the good, the bad, and the slightly terrifying (mostly good though, mostly!).
First Impressions (and a Near-Meltdown):
Getting there was easy enough, thanks to the airport transfer (phew!). The car park [on-site] was a lifesaver. Finding the entrance… well, that's where my Type A personality almost screamed. Apparently, the "luxury" doesn't extend to obvious signage. But finally, we were in! The lobby? Gleaming, thankfully! Then bam! the Unbelievable KLCC Views! hit you. Honestly? Jaw-dropping. From the outset I knew it was going to be special.
Accessibility (Important Stuff!)
Alright, so I wasn't personally testing its wheelchair accessibility, but I did make a point of trying to suss it out. The elevator is definitely a plus (obviously!). I spotted a few facilities for disabled guests, but the details were a little vague, so I can't give you specifics on room features (like the bathroom) - something to double check before booking if accessibility is your top priority. The 24-hour front desk is a good sign, as is the doorman.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, Let's Be Real, It's 2024):
Okay, I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so this was HUGE for me. The anti-viral cleaning products and daily disinfection in common areas definitely calmed my nerves. The suite itself looked spotless. Seeing the staff was trained in the safety protocols was a relief, too. And the rooms sanitized between stays? Solid gold in my book. The hand sanitizer stations were everywhere, and I loved that they offered room sanitization opt-out available, which I think shows respect! The Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment, Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items really made me feel secure. I wouldn’t say it was hospital-sterile, but it felt CLEAN. Plus, all those Safety/security feature and Smoke alarms - can’t fault them for taking precautions seriously!
Rooms and Comfort (Where the Magic Happens):
My inner child started squealing. Seriously, the Unbelievable KLCC Views! was REAL. The suite was HUGE. Like, you could lose a small child in there (I didn't, luckily). Let's break it down:
- The View: Seriously, the main selling point. The high floor location delivered. The window that opens was a bonus, letting in the city breeze (and the distant sounds of KL).
- The Bed: Okay, maybe not extra long, but definitely comfortable. The blackout curtains were my best friend during those jet-lagged mornings.
- The Bathroom: Luxurious is an understatement. Bathrobes? Check. Slippers? Check. A separate shower/bathtub? Double check. The water pressure was amazing!
- Tech: This is where the perfection wavered. While Wi-Fi [free] was everywhere (and the signal was strong!), the Internet access – LAN and Laptop workspace felt a little… outdated. But hey, the in-room safe box was a nice touch!
- The Extras: Coffee/tea maker? Absolutely vital. Free bottled water? Even better. The mini bar was tempting (but I resisted… mostly).
Amenities: The Good, the Glorious, and the Slightly Over-the-Top
- Relaxation Central: The spa was… wow. I'm not a huge spa person, but the massage was divine. The pool with a view? Instagram gold! I skipped the Body wrap and Body scrub, but who am I to judge? The sauna, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom were everything you expect, top tier!
- Fitness Fanatic: The Fitness center was, well, a fitness center. Standard, nothing groundbreaking.
- Food, Glorious Food (and Drink): The restaurants… oh man. There are Restaurants, Bar, and Coffee shop, plenty to take a pick from. The Breakfast [buffet] was a feast, and I did sample a few of the Desserts in restaurant. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was excellent, and the International cuisine in restaurant was surprisingly good too. The room service [24-hour] was the life-saver and the Poolside bar was perfect for a sunset cocktail.
- Services that Spoil: The Daily housekeeping was seamless. I was a little too lazy for the Ironing service (the wrinkles stayed), but the option was nice. The Concierge was helpful, but I only needed them to recommend good eateries outside the Hotel. The Cash withdrawal and Currency exchange were super convenient.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Personal Highlights):
- Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] was a highlight. Eggs, pancakes, Asian options… you name it, they had it. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was decent (needed to fuel my shopping!).
- Dinner: I sampled both the Asian cuisine in restaurant and the Western cuisine in restaurant. Both were delicious. I am not ashamed to admit I devoured a Desserts in restaurant, too!
- Poolside Drinks: Because, duh. The Poolside bar made an excellent Happy hour. Sunset cocktails with that view? Chef's kiss!
Things to Do (Beyond the Suite):
- Pool Time: The Swimming pool (outdoor) was the perfect place to relax.
- Explore: KLCC Park is a short walk (for the more energetic of us).
Services and Conveniences (Some Hits, Some Misses):
- Convenience is Key: The Cash withdrawal and Currency exchange were lifesavers. The Concierge was super helpful for the Airport transfer.
- Business, Business, Business: I can't speak to all the Business facilities.
- Little Things: Loved the Luggage storage and Daily housekeeping. The Doorman was always friendly.
For the Kids (If You Have Them - And Even If You Don't):
The Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal definitely made this a kid-friendly place.
The Quirks (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The Signage: Seriously, work on the signage. Especially in the dark!
- The Price Tag: It’s luxury. You’re paying for it. Be prepared.
Overall Verdict:
Would I recommend the Unbelievable KLCC Views! Luxury Shidai Tennō Suite? ABSOLUTELY. Despite the minor hiccups, the sheer spectacle of the view, the comfortable suite, the amazing dining, and the top-notch service far outweighed any flaws. It's an experience, not just a hotel room. The best part of my stay was sitting in the suite, sipping on a cocktail, and just staring at that view. Pure bliss!
Final Thought: Book it. Just do it. You deserve it.

Escape to Paradise: Tamansari Bintaro's Luxury Studio Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. Here’s a travel itinerary… well, more like a scribbled, slightly frantic love letter to a luxurious weekend in the New Shidai Tennō Sky Suite, Ampang, KLCC, Kuala Lumpur. And yes, I'm already picturing myself spilling red wine on the pristine white linen – it's inevitable, people. Embrace the beautiful mess, alright?
Day 1: Arrival, Altitude, and Almost Burning the Kitchen Down (Because Who Even Knew Induction Cooktops?)
14:00 - Arrival & Initial Jaw-Drop: Okay, picture this: arriving at the New Shidai. Forget the polite smiles – I actually gasped. The lobby? Minimalist chic, but with enough "wow" factor to make me want to lick the marble. (I didn’t. Mostly.) Then, the lift ride up… I’m pretty sure my ears popped. And the suite? Seriously. The pictures knew what they were doing. Panoramic views of the KL skyline? Check. Plush everything? Double-check. My travel companions (a motley crew of my most fabulous friends) and I collectively shrieked with delight. We spent a solid 20 minutes just wandering around, accidentally bumping into each other because everything was so spacious. My first thought? "Can I just move in and become a professional suite-dweller?"
15:00 - The Great Fridge Raid & Failed Gourmet Ambitions: Time to get acquainted with the fridge. It was stocked! (This is where the "messy" part comes in.) We decided to be sophisticated and make our own appetizers, I figured it would be fun. I mean, how hard is it to toast some bread and throw some fancy cheese and olives on it? Turns out, induction cooktops are my enemy. They're all futuristic and magnetic and I almost set off the smoke alarm. A quick Google search later (thank goodness for free Wi-Fi!), and we managed to char the bread… slightly. We declared it "rustic." Our makeshift appetizers were delicious, though. I'm pretty sure my heart grew three sizes that day.
17:00 - Rooftop Pool & Pre-Dinner Glow: Okay, this is where it gets good. The rooftop pool. Infinity edge. Views, once again, for days. And yes, I did some serious Instagramming. Don't judge me. We cracked open a bottle of champagne (because, priorities) and just floated around, gossiping, laughing, and generally feeling like we were living the high life. I swear, I could feel all the stress melting away. There were some moments of silence when the view just took over. It was spectacular.
19:00 - Dinner at Nobu (and a little bit too much sake): Dress to impress, we said. And Nobu? Absolutely worth the fancy clothes. The food was incredible – the black cod, iconic. We shared plates, giggled over the delicate presentation… and maybe had a little too much sake. Let's just say, the night ended with some impromptu karaoke back in the suite and a lot of laughing so hard, my stomach hurt. I can't believe how much we laughed, I won't spoil it.
22:00 - Late Night View & Starry-Eyed Moments: Back in the suite, we just sat on the balcony, lost in the city lights. It was one of those perfect moments when you just feel so connected to your friends, to the world, and to that breathtaking view. Okay, maybe the sake still played a part in that. It was magical.
Day 2: Markets, Massages, and Meltdown (Almost)
09:00 - Lazy Morning & Coffee Calamity: The beds in the suite? Heavenly. We all slept in, which was a huge win. Eventually, we crawled out and made our way to the Nespresso machine. I, because I'm a genius, decided to try and make a frothy cappuccino. Let's just say, the result was more "burnt coffee lava" than "perfectly frothed milk." We all laughed and decided to just go back to the plan and enjoy the delicious coffee they offer.
11:00 - Exploring the Local Flavors: A Trip to a Weekend Market: Off to explore! It was hot, crowded, and utterly brilliant. We dove headfirst into the buzz of a weekend market, our senses immediately assaulted by the scent of freshly-baked bread, spicy curries, and vibrant fruits. We bartered for trinkets (badly, I'm sure), devoured street food (which was divine), and got completely lost in the maze of stalls. The energy was infectious, a complete contrast to the quiet of the suite.
13:00 - Spa Time & a Moment's Peace: Back to the suite for some serious pampering. The spa treatments were just what we needed. A massage that kneaded out every knot, every tension? Yes, please. The relaxation room was silent, and for an hour, I think my brain actually turned off. I found myself drifting, thinking only of the moment and the soothing smells of the creams. Pure bliss.
15:00 - The Shopping Meltdown (My Fault, Naturally): This is where things got a little… intense. We hit the shops, and suddenly, the group had a different agenda than I did. I could see the shopping bug in their eyes, and I was going to be dragged into it, when all came to a stop. I got overwhelmed. Too many choices, the endless aisles, the pressure of finding the "perfect" souvenir… and I think I might have briefly burst into tears in the middle of the department store. My friends were, of course, amazing and talked me down. We decided to head back to the suite.
17:00 - Poolside Chat & Calming Cocktails: Back at the rooftop pool, we salvaged the day. We sat by the edge (this time, I didn't cry) sipping cocktails, and sharing stories. We watched the sun go down over the city skyline. We talked about everything and nothing, and, most importantly, we laughed.
19:00 - Dinner at a Local Peranakan Restaurant (with a Side of Karaoke Preparation): A little quieter evening at a local Peranakan restaurant. The food was new, exciting. We took turns trying to explain different ingredients. The spicy curries, savory and sweet. It was an amazing dining experience. I've got to try to make this at home. We went back to the suite for karaoke.
22:00 - Last Night Karaoke Chaos & Goodbye to Paradise: We gave the karaoke machine hell. The song choices were questionable, the singing was worse, but the fun was epic. We stayed up way, way too late. This part is very hazy in my memory. It was definitely the best night of the trip. We made our mistakes. Then, we went to sleep.
Day 3: Departure & a Little Bit of Longing
09:00 - Farewell Breakfast & the Bitter-Sweet Pill of Reality: We had breakfast in the suite. I may have cried a little when I realized it was almost over. Then we remembered we had to pack. The coffee helped. We soaked in the last views out the window, and tried to mentally capture every memory.
11:00 - Check-Out & Wishing We Could Stay Forever: Leaving. Ugh. The elevator ride down was somber. Saying goodbye to a gorgeous, spacious, luxurious weekend filled with laughter, new experiences and the bond of friendship.
12:00 - Departure (and already daydreaming about a return trip): I left the New Shidai Tennō Sky Suite feeling utterly refreshed, slightly exhausted (from all the fun), and yearning for another trip. I can't wait to plan it again.
And that, my friends, is my honest, messy, and gloriously imperfect travel itinerary. Would I recommend the New Shidai Tennō Sky Suite? Absolutely, without a doubt. Just maybe bring a fire extinguisher, and a good sense of humor. You'll need both.
Unbelievable! This Vietnamese Pine Forest Cabin Will Leave You SPEECHLESS!
Okay, seriously, are the KLCC views *actually* "unbelievable" from this Shidai Tennō Suite? Because marketing, amirite?
Look, I'm gonna be honest. I went in with the same jaded "yeah, yeah, marketing fluff" attitude. And then... *whoosh*. Okay, maybe "unbelievable" is a bit much, but when you open those curtains, and the Petronas Towers are just... there, practically kissing the balcony? Yeah, okay, *it’s pretty damn good*. My partner, who's usually glued to her phone, actually stopped scrolling and, I swear, *gasped*. It was like a legit movie moment. We spent the first hour just wandering around, slack-jawed. It's the kind of view that makes you want to throw out all your other hotel stays and just... live there. Well, not actually *live* there, but you get the idea. It's seriously impressive. Don't go expecting a perfectly Instagrammable sunrise every time, though... sometimes the fog rolls in, turns everything grey, and you're just looking at a giant metal obelisk fading away. Even then, it's still pretty cool.
Can you *really* fit seven people in that suite? Sounds... cozy. (a.k.a claustrophobic)
Seven? Okay, *technically*, yes. There are enough beds and sofas to probably accommodate a small army. But, let’s be real. I went with a group of five, and while there was space to, like, *breathe*, even with four people (including two small kids!) It wasn't what I'd call spacious. The living room got a bit crowded when we were all trying to get our breakfast on at once and the kids were running round like lunatics. Seven adults? Unless you all *really* like each other, and are prepared for a level of close proximity that borders on a hostage situation... I'd say, push it and go for the slightly more expensive one. For five? Totally manageable. More than that, think twice. Seriously. Think, “Can I handle an awful lot of people trying to get to the bathroom at the same time early in the morning?” If the answer is no, go for a smaller number.
What's the deal with the "luxury" part? Is it just a fancy name?
Luxury? Okay, so, again, some of it is marketing. BUT, and that's a big but, the Shidai Tennō Suite does come with some serious perks. That rainforest shower? Divine. Those fluffy robes? I wanted to steal one. The toiletries are actually decent quality, not the stingy, weird-smelling stuff you get in some places. And the hotel staff… they are *on it*. We had a minor issue with the air conditioning (it was Malaysia, after all, and humidity is a real thing) and they had someone up there fixing it within minutes. My partner was also very impressed with the pillows! So, is it "over-the-top, ultra-luxurious"? Probably not. But, it *definitely* felt like a splurge. The difference between feeling 'pampered' and just 'existing' is a big step up.
Is breakfast included? Because I'm not getting out of bed before noon on vacation.
Alright, first things first: Check the fine print of your booking! Seriously, read the small print! Some packages include breakfast, some don't. And if you’re lucky, yes, the breakfast is included. The breakfast buffet was pretty amazing, I’m not going to lie. I could fill myself up on pastries alone. They even had durian available every day… *shudder*. Okay, to be fair, my partner adored it, I just can't stomach the stuff. But if you are from the land of the Durian, then that will be a highlight. If breakfast isn't included? Budget for it. It's not cheap, but you can get a seriously good meal there, and it's worth the convenience, especially if you’re trying to minimize travel in the morning.
Is it noisy? I need quiet! I *need* sleep!
Okay, this is important. Generally, no, it's not *obnoxiously* noisy. But, the suites are in a busy location, smack-dab in the middle of the city. Expect some city noise. I mean, are you right next to the Petronas Towers? Well, yeah, you're right next to the Petronas Towers. That means traffic, people, the occasional distant siren. It's not like the sound of silence. Ask for a room on a higher floor to help with the soundproofing. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. The air conditioning units sometimes rattle at night – they're not *loud*, but if any whirring noises bother you, mention it to the hotel. We had a kid with us who's a light sleeper - actually, he's a terrible sleeper in any new place. He managed fine, but we also shut the windows and used earplugs. So, YMMV.
What's there to *do* nearby? Besides staring at the towers (which I will *definitely* be doing).
This is a *major* win for location. You are basically on the doorstep of the KLCC Park, which is amazing for a stroll, especially first thing in the morning. The Suria KLCC mall is under the towers. Be warned: it's *massive*, and you could easily get lost in there for hours and your wallet may take a severe beating. Food? Loads of choices. Shopping? Endless options. Aquaria KLCC (that aquarium) is right there. Basically, you're in the sweet spot. Getting around is easy with taxis or Grab (the local ride-hailing service, which is way cheaper than cabs). The accessibility is a huge selling point. I'm not great with directions and being able to just *walk* to so much was bliss.
Okay, the *worst* part? Let's be honest, nothing's perfect.
Alright, the *worst* part… hmm. Okay, here's the truth, and I'm being brutally honest: the elevators can be a pain. Especially at peak times. Waiting can be ridiculously long. One morning, we were trying to get down for breakfast with two tired and hungry kids, and it felt like forever. We were so close to taking the stairs! Also, the price... it's not cheap. It's a splurge. You're paying for the view, the location, the luxury, all of that. Finally, and this is a weird one and I probably shouldn't mention but I will: the lighting in the suite was *slightly* too dim. I'm talking more mood lighting, less "can actually read the menu" lighting. Which, you know, may be perfect for some. But when you're trying to wrangle kids, it gets old fast.
