Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Klang Valley, a 330 Km-journey down south (that takes 3 to 4 hours by driving) will lead you to a less busy township of Johor Bahru, a neighbouring companion of Singapore.

An ever growing township, the place is slower in pace unlike Klang Valley. Modelled after the Kuala Lumpur city skyline, the township is continuously undergoing gradual transformation which may eventually turn it to yet another concrete city with sparse greens.

Driving around the town is no different from Klang Valley due to the similar infrastructure.

The street food hunting experience will be easy so long as you have a GPS device and you have done your homework.

In the leisure time, you may explore the facilities – the gym, pool, jacuzzi, dry, wet sauna and more. However, if you do not mind there are daily broadcast of Muslim prayers every few hours throughout the day within the public vicinity of the hotel.

As for the hotel's breakfast buffet, it comes with a variety of choices of both local and Western flavours. The buffet menu is mainly of the local flavours due to the higher influx of domestic tourists, leaving the rest with rather limited choices.

It's a hotel suitable for family, business travelers and tourists. The staffs are friendly and accommodative. Since the hotel is located in the middle of the town, finding the hotel is easy and exploring the town on foot is convenient as well. The hotel's availability depends on the period of the year. The usual reservation procedure can be done via the internet, telephone or walk-in.

We hope this article would be useful to you if you have yet to visit this southern city of Malaysia.

<b>Hotel</b> review and value staycation idea 5* Doubletree Hilton <b>Johor</b> <b>...</b>

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 08:06 PM PDT

Doubletree by Hilton, a top tier brand run by Hilton hotels, recently opened a brand new 5* hotel in the city center of  Johor Bahru. A few of us did a weekend staycation to the hotel to test it out and found it to be very accommodative of elite members and provides stunning value, especially with an upgrade to a deluxe suite with executive lounge access even though we booked the cheapest room. This provides a great opportunity for a great value luxury staycation as the price is 80% cheaper than the same type of room in a 5* hotel in Singapore (1/5 the price!).

King One Bedroom Suite - Living Room

The room comes with a living room as well and a separate bedroom. Description on its website: 64 sq. m./689 sq. ft., separate living room, executive benefits. Spoil yourself in this modern one-bedroom suite. Have a restful night's sleep in the king Sweet Dreams bed and luxuriate in the sleek bathroom with stand-alone bath tub and walk-in rain-shower. Unwind in your stylish living room with sofa.

The swimming pool – they also have a very nice Jacuzzi tub for 4 persons next to the swimming pool next to the respective men/women sauna

Further to the post yesterday on Hilton http://ktravelplanners.com/top-hotel-partners-series-hilton-and-accor/  upgrades for diamond members include 1 tier upgrade at least (but sometimes 2 to suite), and free lounge access and 2 free buffet breakfast. Buffet breakfast contains South East Asian delights and there are chefs that can cook noodles/ eggs/ nasi lemak on the spot.

Executive lounge – free for diamond bookings. They had very nice macaroons, desert, cakes, salads, and other main courses during dinner time (with free flow alcohol during this period), while providing non alcoholic drinks all day

This hotel is extremely centrally located in the Johor central business district, which is less than 5 minutes by Taxi from the Johor Bahru Causeway checkpoint with Singapore and a 15 minutes walk. It is also next to shopping malls and lots of food places. At 20% of the price of a Singapore comparable, this has great relative value for a short weekend getaway – one can just spend the whole trip within the hotel!
