KLCC's HOTTEST New Luxury Apartments: Anggun Residences Unveiled!
Anggun Residences: My Totally Raw, Unfiltered Take on KLCC's Newest Hotness (and a Few Headaches)
Okay, let's be real. KLCC. Luxury apartments. "Hottest new thing." My ears were practically burning from the marketing hype, but I, your trusty (and sometimes brutally honest) reviewer, had to see this for myself. So, after dodging a swarm of selfie-stick wielding influencers, I ventured into the world of Anggun Residences. Buckle up, because this ain't your average fluffy hotel review.
First Impressions: Bling, Bang, and a Bit of a Bong
Pulling up to the building… yeah, it screams "money." Gleaming glass, sleek lines, the whole shebang. Parking? Free (a huge win in KLCC – seriously!). Valet parking is available too, if you're feeling suitably fancy. Getting in was a breeze – contactless check-in, which I love during these pandemic times. They’ve got a 24-hour front desk, doormen practically tripping over themselves to help, and… well, let’s just say the lobby smelled a bit like a fancy floral arrangement with a hint of… something else. Maybe the lingering aroma of a previous guest's celebratory event? Who knows.
Accessibility? A Bit of a Mixed Bag, Honestly.
Now, this is important. Accessibility is a core tenet of a good review, right? I’m happy to say they have Facilities for disabled guests, an elevator, and seemed pretty geared up to assist. However, I didn’t see a whole lot of specific information. It's a good starting point, not a slam dunk. Car park [on-site] is definitely a plus.
Rooms: Swanky, But Did They Forget the Soul? (and the Coffee?)
Stepping into the apartment was… impressive. Air conditioning [in all rooms!], a ridiculously comfy sofa, a desk, a laptop workspace (essential!), and a view that would make your Instagram followers weep with envy. And speaking of envy, the bathroom? Marble, rain shower, the whole nine yards. Plus, they offered complimentary tea and free bottled water. But here comes the grumble: no Nespresso machine. They had a bog-standard coffee/tea maker, which felt a bit… basic. I'm a caffeine addict, people! A tiny, pathetic detail, but it’s the devil in the details, people. My room had a seating area – great for sprawlling out, and a reading light so I could unwind, alongside the extra long bed that was so long, I almost walked into it in the dark.
The Internet access was rock solid – Wi-Fi [free] (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!), and even Internet access – LAN if you’re a digital dinosaur. Linens are top quality and the Daily housekeeping was prompt and efficient. They even had a scale – which I strategically avoided. Additional toilet was definitely helpful
Dining: A Culinary Adventure (with Some Bumps in the Road)
Okay, here’s where things get interesting. Anggun Residences boasts a bunch of restaurants and a coffee shop. I had a breakfast [buffet] at one, which, let's face it, is a litmus test for any hotel. This one was a mixed bag. The Asian breakfast offerings were fantastic – the nasi lemak was a revelation! But the Western breakfast options were… meh. The scrambled eggs tasted like they’d been sitting under a heat lamp since the Jurassic period.
They also had room service [24-hour], which is a major plus for a lazy bum like me. I ordered a late-night snack and, surprisingly, it arrived quickly and was delicious. They also offer alternative meal arrangement and vegetarian restaurant, so you have plenty of choice despite the buffet in restaurant. There's a Poolside bar, perfect for watching the sunset.
Pools, Spas, and the Pursuit of Relaxation (Mostly Successful)
Let's talk about the good stuff – the ways to chill out. The swimming pool [outdoor] is stunning. Pool with view? Absolutely. I spent a solid hour just floating around, pretending I was in a Bond film. There’s a sauna and steamroom, perfect for sweating out the stresses of modern life. And the pièce de résistance? The spa! I treated myself to a massage and, honestly, it was pure bliss. They offer Body scrub and a Body wrap, which I skipped, but now that I'm thinking about it…
Safety and Cleanliness: Apprehensive, But Pleased
The pandemic has changed the game, hasn't it? I was very pleased to see they take cleanliness and safety seriously. They use Anti-viral cleaning products, offer Hand sanitizer everywhere, and have Staff trained in safety protocol. Rooms sanitized between stays -- a sigh of relief. Daily disinfection in common areas, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items were everywhere -- I'm glad they are serious about this. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter was mostly observed, and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. I really felt reasonably secure, which is a massive relief.
Things to Do (Beyond the Pool): A Bit Limited, Frankly.
While the hotel itself is fantastic, the "things to do" directly within the hotel are a little sparse. They have a Fitness center, but it's not exactly state-of-the-art, and in KL, you want to get out and explore!
**For the Kids (and the Big Kids Too!) **
I don't travel with kids, but Anggun Residences definitely tries. They have Babysitting service, which is handy. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you're looking for a Family/child friendly place.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Honest Truth
Okay, let's get real. No place is perfect.
- The elevator wait: Sometimes, the lift takes forever to arrive. Annoying when you're impatient (which is, you know, always).
- The lobby smell: Did I mention the mysterious aroma? I still can't quite place it…
- The lack of… soul? The apartments are beautiful, but they lacked a certain… lived-in feel. Maybe some local art or a few more personal touches?
- The sheer number of influencers swarming the place…
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Honestly? Yes. Despite the minor quirks and the slightly pretentious vibe, Anggun Residences is a fantastic option for a luxury stay in KLCC. If you like being pampered, enjoy stunning views, and value a clean and safe environment, this place is worth the splurge.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars (Minus half a star for the coffee and the slightly generic feel)

Avenue Hotel Germany: Luxury Redefined. Your Dream Getaway Awaits.
Okay, buckle up buttercups. This isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. Consider this a brain dump, a messy love letter, and a slightly caffeinated rant about my trip to Anggun Residences Luxe KLCC. Let's see if I can actually remember what I did… which, let's be honest, is always the first hurdle.
Anggun Residences LUXE KLCC: An Unfiltered Adventure (or, How I Survived Malaysian Heat… and My Own Impatience)
Day 1: Arrival & Utter Discombobulation (plus, the View!)
Morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Flight. Oh, the flight. Let's just say I'm pretty sure I aged a decade in those 14 hours. Turbulence? Check. Baby screaming? Bingo. The guy beside me who kept trying to mansplain air pressure? Ugh. Finally, finally landed in Kuala Lumpur. Smelly, sweaty, and slightly delirious.
Mid-Morning (10:00 AM - 11:30 AM): Immigration & Grab-Hailing Chaos. KLIA is HUGE. Wandered around like a lost puppy trying to find the "Grab" pick-up zone. Sweating like a pig (seriously, the humidity is NO JOKE), and the anxiety of getting the right car, the correct driver, the right everything. Eventually, success! The ride to Anggun felt like an eternity in the cramped, hot car. My phone decided to die halfway, the driver was chatting the whole time.
Afternoon (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM): Check-In & Jaw-Dropping (Literally) View. Okay, folks, this is where things got good. The Anggun Residences? Gorgeous. The lobby? Sleek. The staff? Super friendly and helpful, thank God. The view from my apartment? Oh. My. God. The Petronas Towers. Right. There. Across the horizon of KL. I swear, I just stood there, mouth hanging open, for a good five minutes. Seriously, the view is worth the entire trip. And the apartment itself? Modern, spacious, and the air conditioning was a godsend.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Poolside Bliss (and a near-disaster involving sunscreen). The pool was calling. You know, the kind that calls in a siren voice promising coolness and relaxation? Signed up. I went straight for it. Applied sunscreen, or so I thought. Turns out I missed a huge patch on my back. Oops. Lesson learned: reapply. Then, actually swam and felt happy.
Evening (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Wanderings & Food Court Fumbles. After the pool, I was starting to feel like a human again, even though the sunburn starting to creep in. Needed food. Went to a nearby food court. The smells were amazing. The choices? Overwhelming. I ended up ordering something that looked like noodles but tasted… well, I'm not entirely sure. Let's just say it was an adventure.
Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): KLCC Park Stroll. Went for a walk to KLCC Park. Just strolled around, marvelling at the towers from a new viewpoint. The place was buzzing. There were kids everywhere. Watched the fountain show. So far, so great.
Evening (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Dinner with "The Locals." Found a lovely little unassuming restaurant. The staff and other diners seemed friendly with each other. I asked them the best dish, thinking I would learn something. They took my order. I liked it. The locals were great, and so was the food.
Night (8:00 PM till late): Back at the Residences. Went home, showered off all the dust and sweat, and took another look at that beautiful view. Fell asleep with the city lights twinkling.
Day 2: The KLCC Pilgrimage & My Failed Attempt at "Culture"
Morning (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Breakfast in the Apartment. The small kitchen was ideal to make my own coffee and toast (and maybe a little bit of orange juice). I felt like some kind of master baker!
Mid-Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Twin Towers Up Close & Personal. Okay, the actual KLCC Towers visit. I had to queue. People. Everywhere. But the views! I'm a sucker for heights. The skybridge was cool. The observation deck more so! The only bad thing? The relentless crowds. It was like being sardined in a giant elevator. Got a headache despite the view.
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Lunch at Suria KLCC. Found some nice restaurant. The meals were very nice and I took in the views from the window.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The "Cultural" Experience: The Islamic Arts Museum. I got all "cultured" on myself and decided to go to the Islamic Arts Museum. Beautiful. Really. The architecture, the exhibits, all very impressive. But me? I'm not exactly a museum person. My attention span is shorter than a goldfish's. After an hour, my brain was fried. I needed air. I needed a snack.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Shopping Spree (More Like Window Shopping). Suria KLCC again. The shopping mall was pretty amazing, but all the brands, everything. I did some window shopping and saw things I wouldn't dare buy.
Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Dinner & Drinks with a View! Found a bar with an incredible view of the Petronas Towers. Ordered a Malaysian cocktail. It was strong. Really strong. And expensive! But hey, the view. The view. The view.
Night (7:00 PM - Late): Back at the apartment. Another look at the twinkling cityscape. More contemplation. More sleep. (Thank God).
Day 3: The Batu Caves & My Spiritual Awakening (Sort Of)
Morning (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Morning Workout. Despite the sore muscles, I went for a jog. The air was pleasant!
Mid-Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Batu Caves Pilgrimage. Okay, this was an experience. The Batu Caves. The giant golden statue. The many stairs. The monkeys! Oh, the monkeys. They were cute, and they were little thieves. I saw one snatch a water bottle. Learned to guard my phone… and my sanity. Climbing those stairs was a workout. I was sweating buckets. Felt my life flashing before my eyes. But, reaching the top, was like seeing another world. Colourful temples, and the scent of incense. I actually felt… something. Not exactly a spiritual awakening, more like a "wow, that view is worth the climb" kinda thing. And then, back down I went. More monkeys!
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Lunch, again. Found a nearby Indian restaurant for a very good meal.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The Temples. I had one more go, going through the temples, and experiencing how the locals live, and what their life is about.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Tea and Some Rest. Needed a break. Went back to the city to rest and have a cup of tea in a cafe near the Residences.
Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Dinner in little alleyways. The staff at the Anggun Residences recommended that I go to some little alleyways near the residences. It was amazing and the food was even better.
Night (7:00 PM - Late): Packing for Departure. I did a final reflection, writing the daily schedule of the trip as I remembered.
Day 4: Departure & The Aftermath (aka, I Need Another Vacation)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Breakfast, Packing, and Last Views. Those last few moments spent in the apartment, staring out at the towers, were bitter sweet. I'm actually going to miss this view.
- Departure: Checked out, and flew away to reality. Tired, a bit sunburnt, and definitely full of amazing memories.
Final Thoughts (and Unsolicited Advice):
- Embrace the Sweat: Seriously. You're going to sweat. Get over it. Drink lots of water.
- Don't Be Afraid to Get Lost: Kuala Lumpur is a maze, but that's part of the fun.
- Eat Everything: Try the food. Even if you're not sure what it is. It's an adventure! (and it's
Anggun Residences: You Got Questions? I Got... Answers (Maybe)!
Okay, So What *Actually* Makes Anggun Residences "Luxury"? I'm Not Fooling for Marketing Fluff Again!
Ugh, marketing. Don't even get me STARTED on marketing. Okay, *deep breath*. Anggun Residences... yeah, they're calling it luxury. Frankly, I went and saw the show unit, and my jaw nearly hit the floor. Think: Walls that shimmer, fixtures that scream "paycheck", and the kind of kitchen island you could practically sleep on. But beyond the glitter and the gleam, they're touting things like private lifts (because, you know, the plebs shouldn't have to share!), concierge services that supposedly anticipate your every whim (more on *that* later…), and these "infinity pools" that look out onto the KL skyline. Whether that makes it *actual* luxury or just "expensive" is a debate for another cocktail hour. Look, they're *trying* to cater to the jet-set crowd. That's the vibe, anyway. They've definitely got the *look* down– the real test is whether they can deliver the, ahem, *lifestyle*.
Oh, and the location. Right in the heart of KLCC, which, let's be honest, is the main selling point. You're practically tripping over the Petronas Towers. If you're into that whole… iconic landmark thing.
The Private Lifts. Seriously? Are We Talking About Being 'Too Good' For the Commoners?
Right?! The private lifts. It's the ultimate status symbol, isn't it? My initial thought? “Well, that tells you *who* they *really* want living there.” It screams "exclusive" more than it whispers it. Okay, so for *them* it's a convenience. No waiting for a crowded elevator after a long day of… I don't know… *doing important things*. Imagine the sheer *bliss* of avoiding the sweaty, post-gym crowd. But it begs the question: do you *really* need a private lift to feel fancy? I suppose so, if you can afford it. Honestly, I was just imagining the lift’s maintenance costs… someone’s gotta clean that thing, right?!
What *Sizes* of Apartments are We Talking About? Tiny Shoeboxes or Palatial Estates?
Alright, space is always the thing, eh? From what I heard, Anggun Residences runs the whole gamut. You can go from 'cozy' (read: small, but probably still pretty amazing if you're used to, say, a shoebox) to 'holy moly, I could throw a party here and *still* have room for my pet elephant' (because, you know, a luxury apartment would practically *require* a pet elephant). I seem to remember hearing something about options starting from, like, 2,000 square feet, and going up. Way up! That means you can get a 2-bedder (great if you're single or have a couple of kids, or just want an office/guest room) or a massive penthouse that practically *demands* a ballroom. The brochures were vague on the precise dimensions but the scale of the show unit gave me the impression that they weren't exactly skimping on square footage. Good luck finding *anything* remotely affordable though.
The Concierge Service Sounds Great… But Is It Actually *Functional*?
Aha! This is where things get *interesting*. Because, yes, the brochures promise a concierge service that magically appears to fulfill your every desire. Need a last-minute reservation at that impossible-to-get-into restaurant? Done. Dry cleaning done? Handled. Dog walked? You got it. You need a diamond encrusted hamster wheel, all you need to do is pick up the phone... or so they say.
My personal experience is *limited* because, again, I don’t live there (sigh). However, I have, erm, *friends of friends* who have heard whispers about these things, and let's just say the reality *might* be a little less glamorous than the brochures suggest. The devil, as they say, is in the details. Like, how responsive are they *really*? Do they actually, you know, *remember* your preferences? Can they handle the truly bizarre requests? (Like, can they find a genuine, antique, taxidermied unicorn? Asking for a friend). I'm envisioning something like... "Will handle concierge requests. May take up to 24 hours, give or take a public holiday." In reality, it might be as good as it's advertised. Or it could be just another selling point that ends up being a disappointment; let's cross our fingers!
What About the Views? Are We Talking Instagram-Worthy or Facing a Brick Wall?
Okay, let’s be honest: the views are *critical*. Nobody drops major cash to stare at their neighbour’s laundry hanging out to dry, right? From what I've gathered, Anggun Residences should be *killing* it in terms of views. This is KLCC, people! You’re either getting a face-full of the iconic Petronas Towers, the lush KLCC Park, or the glittering city skyline. Or, if you get the short end of the stick, you might have a view of... another building. Pray you don't. Obviously, the higher up you go, the better the panorama. I'm just saying, if I'm shelling out enough to buy a small car, the view had damn well better make me go "wow". The sales brochure seemed to focus heavily on the view. Like, *really* heavily. Again, it's the biggest selling point of this apartment, but don't expect it to be *cheap*.
Okay, Okay, Let's Talk Money. How MUCH is this Going to Set Me Back? I'm Already Having a Panic Attack…
Alright, strap in, honey. This is where the fun *really* begins. Let's just say, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. I mean, if you have to *actually* ask me what the price is, you definitely can’t. (And yes, I'm also a little bit panicky). Since the price is *never* the best-kept secret (and trust me, your budget is probably not safe when you are looking at luxury apartments), I have a rough idea about the price range of these places. I’ve heard whispers. Hints. Vague allusions to a small fortune. We’re talking millions, people. Multi-millions. Think: "a mortgage that will haunt your grandchildren" kind of money. And that’s just the *entry* level. Good luck. Take a deep breath. And maybe a second mortgage.
