Many hotels in KL flaunt a seductive sheen, while a handful seem steeped in stirring soulfulness; The Majestic is that elusive venue that stakes a claim to both traits.
Explore this YTL masterstroke by beginning at The Tea Lounge, sheltered in the wing that houses the original, 1932-launched Hotel Majestic, reborn as a ravishing retreat this weekend, nearly three decades after it shuttered operations.
Cushion-comfy armchairs that many a contented cat could curl in, overlooking a lawn where delighted dogs might frolic _ it's mind-boggling that this seemingly secluded hideout lies so close to the city's car-crammed traffic.
Seventy-eight ringgit pays for eight selections from a wider-than-the-norm afternoon tea menu, including sandwiches stuffed not only with cucumbers, cream cheese & smoked salmon, but also sambal ikan bilis & serunding daging lembu.
Scones with preserves & clotted cream will stifle protests by conservatives, who might not revel in other options such as samosas, snapper brandade, onion tarts, crab cakes, lamb curry puffs, chicken rendang millefeuille & seafood lemak pies.
Sufficient sweets to satiate a swarm of ants, from fig rolls to pineapple turnovers, coffee eclairs to sugared palmiers, dundee cakes to lemon curd allumettes.
Customers can fork out an additional RM30++ for extra-premium tea _ the likes of Red Roses, Morrocan Mint or Apple Fantasies _ instead of the house offering.
Our choice was never in doubt: a rich Irish Whiskey-Cream worth meditating on.Post
