Let's assume thatif you're into your eco properties you follow through in other areas of your life. For the Element Kuala Lumpur, you'll need your own water bottle, as the hotel is plastic-bottle free. Each room has a filtered tap for use, a huge improvementfrom those teeny bottles you usually get. The hairdryer is also worthy of comment; forget those tiny hotel models,this heavy-hitting beast dries you in record time. The standard safe, iron and board are all present, and adapters are available on request. The curtains are blackout.
Price: Great value forthe sophisticated design, spacious rooms and central location.
