Arrival
The hotel lobby is located on the second floor and there are lifts to it, from the drop-off area.
I booked the base room and was pre-upgraded to the Le Meridien Suite 5 days prior to arrival, as a Titanium member recognition.
I chose 1,000 points as my welcome gift.
Le Meridien Suite
Room 2218 is 73sqm / 785sqft in size.
This is the highest room category available in the hotel.
As expected from a fairly-new property, furnishing was good and in great condition. However, I found the televisions a little small.

Le Meridien Club
Platinum members and above have all-day access to the Club Lounge, which opens from 2 to 10pm daily.
Food at the Club Lounge
Guests can enjoy complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks all day, and hot food and alcoholic beverages during the evening cocktail hours of 6 to 8pm daily.
For a property that charges as little as 10k points for award nights, hot food served in the evening was excellent!
Breakfast
Breakfast is complimentary for Platinum members and above. It was held as a buffet at Pasar Baru restaurant.
There are separate food stations with live cooking for Chicken Rice, Noodles and Malay and Indian Cuisines.
Food quality was good for a hotel at this price point (award rate).
