Sofitel recently opened in one of Malaysia’s affluent Damansara Heights bringing new standard of Luxury in the city. The brand’s first hotel in Malaysia lured not only business travellers but as well as KL residents keen to experience the ultimate elegant staycation.
We were in for some respite from the stresses of our daily grind. A spontaneous city break or enjoying the city’s best new abode is a much-needed cessation. Sofitel is our new weekend sojourn after an intense workweek. It is incredible that we no longer need an out of the country trip to be able to get a taste of a great quality retreat experience. We had an eminence over the weekend itinerary at Sofitel and we were stoked!
Checking in at Club Millésime
The hotel core’s blends the Malaysian native culture with a touch of French art vivre through La Tour Eiffel structure. It is a trademark that Sofitel established around the world. Checking in was smooth at Club Millésime with a welcomed beverage of our choice. The lounge is very appealing with a sense of space and extravagance. The well-appointed Lounge is also home for complimentary evening cocktails, breakfast, all day refreshments and even High afternoon tea overlooking views of the city.
Luxury Room with a Pool View
The lavishly dressed king-size bed instantly grabbed my attention the moment I entered our luxury room. The classic bathroom and the chic bathtub is where I claimed my spot for a good book. The room has complete set of premium amenities by Lanvin and Hermes. The mirror look so classic with a French phrase engraved on it that says fais de beaux rêves (sweet dreams). Natural light seams through overlooking the gorgeous aqua pool view and water jets Jacuzzi that I’m bound to relish. Nespresso machine, TWG tea, Bonne Maman, Valrhona and a complimentary mini bar filled with alcoholic and refreshing drinks. The room has a generous office and dining table surrounded with art de vivre and eye catching le chocolat and fruit platter delivered by the doorman. The spirit of a wondrous weekend was bestowed upon us!
So SPA Relaxing Massage
In pursuit of pampering myself, So SPA Sofitel impressed me with their exclusive style of body therapy. I was revived! The 2 hour session massage boost my mood like it just release my endorphins which has the same feeling of bliss after I felt an extreme great body combat workout. I know it is insane that I associated my feeling with spa and my punch and kick lifestyle fitness. Nevertheless it both made me happy! I also found miracle to treat my fatigued feet through their foot rose petals bath. I have DIY made soak baths at home but theirs is just excessively foot indulgence to its finest. It soak my stress away!

Cocktails at Club Millésime
After a calming massage, I joined my buddy Mar at The Club Millésime executive lounge for an evening cocktail. I adore the touch of French connection. Wine, cheese, and delicious delightful pastries – I’m sold! Canapé is also served and so enticing that I couldn’t really stop the temptation of tasting it. The gorgeous decorative all sort of hors d’œuvre with a lux dining ambiance is such a vital part of Joie de vivre (Joy of living). Ahh the Club Millésime is such a sophisticated spot to wine and dine.

French-Mediterranean Dinner at Nizza
We indulge ourselves at Nizza, a French Rivera inspired restaurant with an open-air cool setting and a glass window indoor overlooking the pool. The ambiance with its blue and white Cote d’Azur concept gave us a relaxed feeling throughout the entire feast. The food presented on the table was overwhelmingly delicious. I fell in love with the steaks! We left Nizza with a blissful tummy.

Workout at SOfit
The next morning we were in the mood for a great workout since we missed our usual body combat and Fastfit session. I am so amazed that the gym is open 24 hours. I could use a treadmill and some Russian twist with a suitable kettlebells. All we need to fuel our day!
Le déjeuner at Club Millésime
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Mar had Truffle Eggs Benedict and I had Smoked Salmon with asparagus. The fresh veggies and salmon sounds healthy to me. The salmon wasn’t overcooked, it is versatile and it taste just right. It’s only not too long ago that I’ve grown to love breakfast. It was totally a breakfast that will make me get off my bed in the morning.

Aqua Pool and Jacuzzi Escape
Stripped blue and white parasols and private cabanas manifest the French Rivera theme. Our day at the pool was purely all relaxation. Lazing at lounge chairs while enjoying the beautiful summer vibe. Soaked in the blue waters of the chic pool and Jacuzzi was a great way to get a back massage. We also took few naps here feeling the cool breeze. I bet a pool party while sipping piña coladas would be awesome. I hope that Sofitel will launch that soon. You bet you can count me on such event!
Lunch at Wan Chun Ting
Dim sum for lunch sounds like a good idea. We had our meal at Wan Chun Ting, an imperial Chinese Restaurant. Wan Chun ting literally means pavilion of 10,000 springs. The restaurant looks very ornamental with its high ceiling and private dining rooms. We fell in love with pan fried bean curs roll with mozzerella cheese and steamed salted egg yolk custard bun. We are even planning to come back together with my chinese colleagues who have chinese cuisine addiction.

Le Goûter at Club Millésime
Everyone who knows me could attest that I am obsessed with High Afternoon Tea. I was thrilled to try Le Goûter, the French equivalent for the british traditional afternoon tea. Sweets were exquisitely presented on the table with a nice view of the city from the glass window. If I could cast a spell, it would be to pause the time and had it for as long as I want.

Late Check out
We had the privilege of checking out late. It rained when I left Sofitel. Leaving is the hardest part; even the universe poured its blues. I will surely come back for Le Bar and Dim Sum at Wan Chung Ting and I am certainly not coming alone…
Sofitel, I heart you. Life is truly Magnifique in Kuala Lumpur!
