Scene
Serviced apartment-style property with mostly contemporary decor and leisure facilities
Opened in 2010, Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur is an apartment-style hotel with the benefit of housekeeping. The hotel is largely contemporary, though some furnishings feel out-of-date, such as the striped couches in some units and lime-green couches in the lobby. Also on the downside, some past guests have reported maintenance issues in rooms and slow elevators. In addition to kitchens in rooms, the biggest pros here are location and extensive wellness facilities, including an outdoor infinity pool with lovely city views. Most guests here are couples or families on vacation.
