Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur
Breakfast menu excellent. Rooms clean and well appointed. Evening cocktail offering in the Club Lounge not what it was, which was disappointing. No lunch provided in the club lounge anymore, which added to the disappointment. This stay nowhere near as good as previous visits.
