Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown puts you in the most atmospheric part of the old city at a mid-range price. The hotel is on Jalan Balai Polis, on the southern side of Chinatown, a short walk from Pasar Seni MRT and LRT station, Petaling Street and Central Market, and close to the old Kuala Lumpur railway station. Rooms are modern and practical, and the facilities punch above the price: a rooftop pool, a complimentary fitness centre and Jann, a cocktail bar with skyline views. Quan’s Kitchen serves all-day dining, and Lady Yi’s Tea House offers a Peranakan-inspired afternoon tea, a nod to the Straits Chinese culture that shaped this neighbourhood. It has collected Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice recognition.
Living in it: you are minutes from the mural lanes of Kwai Chai Hong, the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple and the hawker stalls of Chinatown, and Merdeka Square is a pleasant walk away. Pasar Seni station links you to KLCC, Bukit Bintang and KL Sentral.
Trade-offs: Chinatown is lively and some surrounding streets are scruffy, especially late at night. The pool is compact, more for a dip than for laps. If you plan to spend most evenings in Bukit Bintang or KLCC, a hotel there will save you rides.
