Our stay at Majestic Hotel - Part 4 - Fine dining at Contango

Majestic Hotel KL's dining room, named Contango, Ground Floor


Part 4 of our stay at Majestic Hotel KL focuses on our dining experience at Contango, the hotel's open-kitchen style dining room where we enjoyed breakfast and lunch.

At Contango you may approach a kitchen and request your food to be freshly cooked by a chef. The transparency of cooking is a change to the usual behind-the-scenes cooking. There is a wide variety of foods on offer from local Asian to Japanese to Western.

There are plenty of desserts on offer at Contango for those with a sweet tooth. One can choose from cakes to macarons to ice-cream sorbet to satisfy your palate after a meal.


Macarons decorate the walls of Contango

I'm still craving for these delightful desserts comprised of lollipops and macarons of various flavours

Took two macarons of each flavour back up to our room where I ate 5 of them in a row. Felt full the rest of the day!

Dining in Contango is a lovely experience. The decor, open kitchens and variety and quality of food are big plus points. Looking forward to eating there again in the future!

Our stay at Majestic Hotel KL - Part 3



Welcome to Part 3 of our recent stay at Majestic Hotel KL. The exterior of the hotel is predominantly white. The above photo shows the entrance to the old building, the Majestic Wing, with its 5 floors freshly refurbished whilst maintaining its original charm.



The Majestic Wing looks equally as impressive by night

Our stay at Majestic Hotel KL - Part 2

In Part 1 of our stay at Majestic Hotel KL, I showed you around our junior suite. We really loved our room and spent most of our time in it. If you missed Part 1, you can click the following link to check it out:



For today, we'll look at some of the attractions from the lobby up to the 4th floor. These are the more public areas of the hotel where guests can wander around and appreciate the beauty.

Following are some images of the iconic chandelier which hangs from the 2nd floor directly above the lobby:

The gents toilet on the 2nd floor at Majestic Hotel KL. I always judge a place by the quality and cleanliness of its toilets - no problem here!

Orchids are a common occurrence at Majestic Hotel, as can be seen in the toilet (above), in the rooms, and also in the beautiful Orchid Room. The Orchid Room is located on the 2nd floor, between the Majestic Wing and the Tower Wing. The doors are locked and it can be rented out for the afternoon.

Our stay at Majestic Hotel KL - Part 1

We had a wonderful 3 days 2 nights stay at Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur earlier this week. For a detailed history of this hotel, more photos and information about our previous hotel tour with the Hotel Manager, please click the following link:





I took so many photos during our recent first-time stay at Majestic Hotel that I have to divide this review into a few parts.



We stayed in the junior suite which costs around RM850-1000 per night! Fortunately this was given on an exchange of services between us and the Hotel Manager, which works out very nicely for both parties, and has done in the past with him as well.

Wayne Lee is a young, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Hotel Manager currently positioned at Majestic Hotel KL. We've been friends since his days as Hotel Manager at Vistana Hotel Kuantan.

Junior Suite at Majestic Hotel KL

The junior suite was spacious, immaculately clean and very comfortable.

The transparent bathrooms now come with the option of a curtain for a little more privacy!

The toilet and shower are in separate glass cubicles at the rear of the bathroom

Bathtub and TV in the junior suite at Majestic Hotel KL. The children loved watching cartoons while bathing!





As far as the room is concerned, it's probably the best room we've stayed in. No complaints at all.


Part 2 will be coming tomorrow where I'll take you around the lobby and floors 2-4 of Majestic Hotel KL.
