There are worse views in Kuala Lumpur than the Petronas Twin Towers; these hotels in the Kuala Lumpur City Center give you this vantage point and more besides.

Hotels in the vicinity of KLCC and the Golden Triangle - like the Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur (165 Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur; compare rates|buy direct) put guests right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur's finest shopping, entertainment, and dining choices. (Read about Kuala Lumpur's food here: Profile of Malay Cooking and Culture.)

Suria KLCC, Malaysia's foremost shopping mall, is located right here, at the base of the Twin Towers - proceed to Suria KLCC for some hardcore shopping and also to book your tour of the towers, which reaches only up to the skybridge connecting the pair.

The hotel choices here lean towards the business-class and up, so proceed to this list if you've got enough ringgit to burn. (More info here: Kuala Lumpur Currency)
