Comforts of home in a luxurious setting

Comforts of home in a luxurious setting

Bintang Fairlane’s tight security and warm setting leaves JOHN TIONG impressed.

BINTANG Fairlane Residences has tight security. Guests will appreciate the hotel’s efforts to make sure their stay is safe and private.

First, you have to show your room card to the security guard before you can get through a door that leads to the lift. Then you need to use it again in the lift to get to your floor.

The two-bedroom premier unit with a balcony appeals to me because it offers an excellent view of the city skyline.

Though the rate is RM650 nett per day, which is almost equivalent to that of a five-star international hotel room, it’s still attractive as it has the facilities of a home such as a kitchen and a washing machine with a dryer. You just need to throw in your laundry, press some buttons and your wash will be ready in an hour.

The unit is simple, warm and elegant with comfy sofas, LCD television, a dining table and chairs. All these facilities work towards fulfilling the hotel’s tag line: “Essential luxury for living”.
