You can only stay in this new Resorts World Genting hotel by invitation, or by being a Crockfords Diamond Club member (to qualify you need a minimum of 10,000 Genting points). As such you would most likely be driving (or be driven) to the entrance itself. Valet parking is available.
The View: As you’re at the peak of the mountain the weather decides your vistas. When it’s in your favour, you have a stunning sunrise over mountain ranges decorated with cloud and mist. Otherwise, it’s just a blanket of mist.
First Impressions: Stark white walls leading you to the reception with a long wide corridor whose walls are lined with a magnificent quadriptych piece made of dried floral material titled ‘The Four Seasons’ created by artist Rebecca Louise Law (whose past clientele includes Jo Malone and Hermès). Check‐in for the 111 rooms and 29 suites is very efficient.
The Location: You can only stay in this new Resorts World Genting hotel by invitation, or by being a Crockfords Diamond Club member (to qualify you need a minimum of 10,000 Genting points). As such you would most likely be driving (or be driven) to the entrance itself. Valet parking is available.
The Room: The interiors are designed by renowned interior designer Benson Saw to give a modern updated British feel. My Mahjong Suite came with a massive living and dining room filled with yes, a Mahjong set and a high‐tech massage chair (very much welcomed) and a guest toilet.
The bedroom had many nice touches and the bathroom had a tub and shower (that doubles up as a steam room). There are various other well-appointed themed suites and rooms.
The Service: The service is very on point and unobtrusive and each room comes with butler service.
Memorable Moment: Complimentary breakfast at the Executive Lounge where an option on the menu is lobster nasi lemak. The complimentary fruit basket and special World Cup pralines rated highly too.
Final word: The cold and misty weather, the butler service, and the interior all combine to transport you to the English countryside, yet all just over an hour away from Kuala Lumpur.
