INGLING unobtrusively with the festive bars and restaurants of Heritage Row, the rebranded Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel, is a brisk and efficient business address for pin-stripers on the go with easy access to a generous pint and local colour when the sun goes down. One of the best Kuala Lumpur business hotels, the new look Sheraton Imperial offers 385 rooms including 27 Executive suites, two Ambassador suites and a palatial The Imperial Suite. Expect 44sq m rooms with bathtub and separate shower, walk-in closet, 40-inch LCD TV that anchors your audio-visual work, and a Sony DVD player.

The hotel has not won its spurs through luck. Careful thought has gone into the refurbished rooms with in-room Broadband, fax, dual IDD lines and a computer outlet running on 240 volts AC. Tea and coffee-making facilities are complemented by open city views and, for the fastidious, an iron and ironing board.

The 38th floor Executive Lounge serves up a seamless stream of refreshment while butlers are on hand to deal with the impedimenta for Club Floor and Imperial Suite guests.

The Sheraton Imperial is a top choice as a Kuala Lumpur conference hotel with its Nusantara Ballroom offering hi-tech by the yard including teleconferencing and "live" telecasts. After hours, the Mandara Spa offers a battery of sauna, steam and massage. Swim, open air, or work out at the extensive gym.

Unsurprisingly, the Sheraton Imperial is regarded as one of the best Kuala Lumpur business hotels around but the buzz does not stop here. Gourmets can look forward to speciality dining with a twist - like the Villa Danieli, a Tuscan villa serving homestyle Italian. Celestial Court conjures up Chinese menus and dim sum while Essence offers all-day East-West dining under an atrium skylight. And of course, right next door. there's always Heritage Row.
