New established 5-star hotel, Alila Bangsar located in the heart of vibrant Bangsar district where guests are able to access and experience the richness of local vistas and point of interests. This hotel features recreational facilities such as gymnasium and outdoor "tropical-styled" swimming pool. Apart from that, guests are able to experience executive in-house restaurants as well as enjoy mixology in the bar with infinity skyscraper view. Alila Bangsar has 143 guestrooms are located on floor 35 to 40, offering the best city-view for its guests during their stay.
I booked a studio room for one night via Booking.com with reasonable offer that comes with breakfast, only at RM 290.00 per night.

To access to the hotel lobby can be a little confusing for first timer... First, head to ground floor and you will see a Concierge. Let them know your name and your purpose, and they will lead you to another lift. That lift will then lead you all the way up to 41st floor of the building, that's where the hotel lobby is!

We proceed to check-in. Check-in process took about 5-10 minutes, depending on the situation. After that, there will be a guest relation officer to guide us to our room. There will be another designated lift to access to the hotel rooms. Sounds like a maze, isn't?
While on the way to our room, the guest relation officer will explain about the hotel, facilities and everything that you need to know.

As we are heading to our room, we pass-by an area called Alila Living Room. This area situated at every guestroom floor where there are unlimited supply of local snacks, coffee and tea, so that you can keep your mouth busy during your entire stay.

Guestroom
No bathtub by the way, if you are wondering.
The mattress and the pillows are very comfortable, which I can sleep soundly at night without waking up in the middle of the night.
Air conditioned works great.
The only problem in the room was the television channels are not working. Apparently, they used IPTV channel and what cause the channels to buffer was the internet speed. Weird thing was... the internet connection worked well on my phone.
Also, the shampoo and shower gel in Alila Bangsar was quite satisfying that it gave me sense of luxury. Good quality shower and shampoo liquid and very aromatic, unlike other hotels that provide cheap and low quality gels.

Recreation (Outdoor swimming pool/ Gym)
The Pacific Standard Bar and the gym is just right beside each other, which I did not take any pictures of.

In-House Restaurant
In Alila Bangsar, you have the option to dine in Botanica & Co. or Entier, a casual french dining restaurant, perched at 41st floor of the hotel. The food in Botanica & Co, in my honest opinion, wasn't good despite its reasonable huge portion. However, I can't comment further for Entier, as I was only there for breakfast.

Summary
This is my first experienced stay in Alila Bangsar, which worth the value that I'm paying for. The room is spacious even for the entry room. The tropical-styled outdoor swimming pool is the eye candy of Alila Bangsar. On top of that, travelers like me, could easily access to every place in KL due to its integration with LRT and the nearest public transport available. The check-in and check-out process was seamlessly swift!
