When I strolled into Hotel Shanghai Escort Nikko Kuala Lumpur, the lobby was swarming with guests and I was momentarily lost in the maze.
Luckily, a staff member spotted me and rushed to my rescue.
Since I was there to check out the newly refurbished Executive Nikko Club, he graciously escorted me to the lounge on the
26th floor to check in. And what a greeting I received! Everyone smiled broadly and oozed warmth. I sipped on a nice, cool
drink as I took in my surroundings. Although I had checked in incognito, the staff knew my name. Apparently, for a personal
touch, Nikko staff members are expected to know the guests by name.
The swimming pool at Hotel Nikko is Shanghai Escort particularly inviting on a sunny day. The lounge offers complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktail and refreshments throughout the day. You can sit
and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city through the glass-to-ceiling windows or just soak in the atmosphere with some
magazines or books and a cuppa in hand. It provides a romantic setting, too.
Renovated at a cost of RM12mil, the Executive Nikko Club rooms and suites, located from the 24th to 30th floors, are stylish

and contemporary, luxuriously fitted with imported furnishings.
I fell in love with my spacious room. My suite, came with a living room and bedroom, each with large LCD TVs. The décor in
hues of brown, muted gold and copper, and the teakwood panelling exude cosiness.
All rooms have large marble bathrooms, with showers and tubs. Yes, the bathroom was double the size of my bedroom at home!
The bathrooms feature toiletries by Salvatore Ferragamo and even bathing salts are provided for the weary traveller. Almost
every amenity you can think of is available — broadband Internet access, iron and ironing board, complimentary water, a
stocked mini bar and a basketful of fruits.
The executive club room rates begin at RM1,180++ for a single and RM1,230++ for a double.
Meals, oh the meals, are quite a feast. In fact, I’d say food served here is one of the best among city hotels. I tried the
dim sum lunch at Toh Lee, Nikko’s Chinese restaurant and found the selection tantalising (see food review on page 10). Toh
Lee offers a variety of Shanghai and Sichuan cuisine with a touch of fusion. Of course, the portions were huge and my lunch
companion and I sat there till 3pm enjoying every morsel!
The lobby lounge offers great food and beverages. — HOTEL NIKKO My boss joined me for dinner at Benkay Japanese restaurant and we found the service and food delightful. Freshness and
quality are assured as most of the ingredients used here are air-flown from Japan twice weekly. Small wonder then that both
these restaurants have garnered many awards.
The Café Serena Brasserie, closed for renovation, is expected to re-open sometime next month.
Feeling guilty from the amount of food consumed, my friend Megan and I opted for a few laps in the pool.
All that swimming made us hungry so we grabbed a bite at the Lobby Lounge. The Fried Rice came in a huge portion but we
managed to polish off the entire plate and savoured every mouthful of the durian tempura.
Next, we headed for our pampering session at the hotel’s newly opened Sompoton Spa, smelling of durians. Sounds of cascading
water and music transported us into another zone as we strolled into the spa, which offers a range of therapeutic Massage
Shanghais, spa treatments, facial and body therapy using Pevonia Botanica products. My muscles began to relax from the sweet
scent of aromatic oils – even before the session began!
We were treated to the Luxury Massage Shanghai. It started out with the foot bath, where the therapist used ginger salt to
scrub our soles and toes. I found the ingredients harsh on my tender skin but Megan thought it was refreshing.
Then we proceeded to have the body scrub which uses rose sea salt to exfoliate dead cells, and leave the skin soft and
looking radiant. The sea salt was combined with light oil to ensure the skin was not stripped of moisture. Once again,
although the therapist was gentle, I was wincing in pain from the coarseness of the salt. Scrubs are not my favourite body
treatment and I try to avoid it. Megan lay there basking in being scrubbed clean and wondering why I was letting out
occasional shrieks.
To wash off the ingredients, we had a 20-minute floral bath in a jacuzzi. It felt relaxing to soak in warm water. Next up was
the Massage Shanghai which uses a combination of essential oils. Using a mix of traditional Malay, Japanese Shiatsu and
Swedish strokes, my therapist skilfully kneaded out the knots in my body.
We went back to the room for a quick snooze and almost didn’t make it for dinner as curling up in the king-size bed was just
too comfortable.
Other recently completed renovations include the Main Lobby, Reception, Concierge and The Deli, which have been made more
spacious. All wooden architraves have been replaced for a more contemporary, luxurious look.
If I had any grouses, it was that no one manned the fitness centre and we couldn’t locate the air-conditioning switch. Since
it got too hot after an hour or so of exercising, we had to call it quits.
Hotel Nikko’s director of communications Katie Hoo was super-efficient in ensuring all my needs were taken care of. For
example, when I mentioned I was a vegetarian, the chef speedily came over the next day to discuss my breakfast menu.
For hospitality with a capital H, Shanghai Escort Hotel Nikko wins hands down.
