KLCC's Infinity Pool Paradise: Suite X15 Awaits! (Colony Infinity)
KLCC's Infinity Pool Paradise: Suite X15 Awaits! (Colony Infinity) - A Slightly Unhinged Review (SEO-ified!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I’ve just emerged, blinking and slightly sun-baked, from the… well, from the absolute BEST place I’ve stayed in Kuala Lumpur. We're talking KLCC's Infinity Pool Paradise: Suite X15 Awaits! (Colony Infinity). Prepare yourself for a review that’s less brochure and more… well, me. And let’s be honest, you're here because you’re after KLCC hotels, infinity pool hotels Kuala Lumpur, luxury suites KL, and maybe even a little bit of Colony Infinity Kuala Lumpur reviews. Ding ding ding! You’ve come to the right crazed reviewer.
(First Impressions: Swoon & Slightly Panicked)
Seriously, the views though. Forget all the other hotels. Just. Forget. Them. The first thing that hit me? The sheer height. My Suite X15 was, shall we say, elevated. And the window. The window was basically a giant, glorious, floor-to-ceiling portal to the KL skyline. I think I gasped. I probably even squeaked a little. And then I immediately became terrified of heights. But the view… the view was the reason. The twin towers, looking like gleaming silver sentinels guarding the city. The sprawling green patches of parkland. Truly, it was a stunning pool with a view, and that initial shock of the altitude added a wonderful adrenaline rush!
(Accessibility & Safety - Don't Judge Me, I Care!)
Alright, let's get practical, because I know some of you are thinking about the nitty-gritty. Accessibility? While I didn't need any specific accommodations myself, I did notice the elevator, always a good start. Details are important! I made a quick scan and noticed the presence of facilities for disabled guests. I will say this place is modern. I noticed CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property. And I'm happy to report the security guards were very helpful, always there to help if you needed directions… also, the presence of a fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, and a doctor/nurse on call (a lifesaver for clumsy me). They have a first aid kit too. Look, safety first!
(The Suite Life: Let's Talk Details… and the Bed)
Now, to the real heart of the matter: the suite itself. Suite X15 is a haven. A legit oasis. Think spacious. Think plush. Think… bed. Oh, the bed. It swallowed me whole in a cloud of luxurious comfort. Seriously, the extra long bed was just… chef’s kiss. And the blackout curtains? Glorious. I slept like a log. If you're like me, you want a place to crash after a long day of sightseeing. So, the presence of non-smoking rooms is a huge plus.
But let's get real. We've got the essentials.
- Air conditioning - check.
- Blackout curtains - check.
- Daily housekeeping - check (they're meticulous!).
- Free Wi-Fi - check AND it's free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Bonus.
- Ironing facilities - check.
- Mini bar - check (and stocked with… things).
- Coffee/tea maker - check (essential for a caffeine addict).
- Safe box - check (for those pesky valuables. I just keep my snacks there).
- Bathrobes - check (because who doesn't love feeling fancy?).
Also, I'm not sure what I thought was the best part of having a complimentary tea but I never knew I would love a cup of tea!
Other details I loved, the private bathroom was lovely, and the separate shower/bathtub situation was amazing! And for those who love their music, how about the bathroom phone.
(Dining & Drinking: Food Glorious Food (Plus a Bit of Regret)
Okay, let's be honest, I went a little crazy with the dining options. This place has it all! I'm talking: Restaurants. A la carte. Buffet. Coffee shop. Poolside bar (obvs. Very important). Room service [24-hour] (tempting, very tempting). Asian cuisine in restaurant. International cuisine in restaurant. Vegetarian restaurant. Western cuisine in restaurant. And don’t forget that a bottle of water is provided (great when you're, you know, dehydrated from… research).
The breakfast [buffet] was epic. We're talking Asian breakfast options, Western breakfast options, the works. The coffee was strong. The juices were fresh. My only regret? Not trying everything. I did my best, but there’s only so much one stomach can handle.
I'm also a huge fan of the happy hour. It was just the right amount of boozy, social and perfect for viewing the amazing sunset.
(The Relaxation Station: Poolside Paradise & Spa Sensations)
Listen, the swimming pool [outdoor] is the star of the show! The pool with a view is an understatement. It’s breathtaking. Floating there, gazing at those towers… pure bliss. I spent a ridiculous amount of time there. Maybe a little too much time. I am very not complaining. The infinity edge makes it feel like you’re just… swimming in the sky.
And then the Spa!!! Oh. Em. Gee. I booked a massage. It was divine. After the crazy amount of walking I did to review this place, I was so grateful for the massage. I felt like a whole new person. They also have a sauna, steamroom, and offer body scrub and body wrap treatments. And, for the feet lovers, a foot bath too!
(Things to Do: More Than Just Lounging (But Mostly Lounging))
Okay, so, I mostly lounged. But if you're feeling energetic, there's a fitness center. I peeked in. Looked intimidating. Went back to lounging. But hey, the option is there! There is also a gym/fitness so you can totally work those muscles.
(Services & Conveniences: A Touch of Luxury (and Practicality))
This place is all about pampering. Concierge? Helpful and friendly. Daily housekeeping? Impeccable. Laundry service? Necessary after my… adventures. Also, I found the luggage storage to be invaluable. Also, there is a gift/souvenir shop in case a gift to me is in order. And they handle currency exchange which is always a plus! On a practical note, they have a car park [free of charge] and valet parking!
(For the Kids: Babysitters and More!)
Listen, I don't have kids. But I saw kids. They seemed happy. They have a babysitting service, family/child friendly, and kids facilities. So, you know, if you have rugrats, they're covered.
(Cleanliness & Safety: Peace of Mind in a Pandemic-Wary World)
Look, in these times, cleanliness is paramount. And Colony Infinity takes it seriously. There’s hand sanitizer everywhere. They’re using anti-viral cleaning products. They offer room sanitization opt-out available should you request it. And, very reassuringly, they're using professional-grade sanitizing services. I never felt anything other than comfortable, confident and safe.
(Getting Around: Easy Peasy (with a Little Help))
Airport transfer is available. A taxi service is also there, or you can arrange your own car park [on-site] or the car park [free of charge]. They've got you covered.
(The Tiny Annoyances (Because No Place is Perfect))
Okay, okay, I did have to wait for the elevator a couple of times. And the wifi was patchy at times. But honestly? Minor, minor quibbles.
(The Verdict: Book It! (Seriously))
If you're looking for a truly luxurious but still affordable experience in KL, with jaw-dropping views, a killer pool, and service that is fantastic, KLCC's Infinity Pool Paradise: Suite X15 Awaits! (Colony Infinity) is it. It's a splurge, yes, but it’s a splurge worth making. I left feeling utterly relaxed, rejuvenated, and already plotting my return!

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. We're diving headfirst into the chaotic, glorious mess that is my Kuala Lumpur adventure at The Colony Infinity Pool KLCC Suite X15. Prepare for zero filter. Let's go!
Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh. My. God. View" Factor
14:00 (Give or take an hour, I am notoriously late): Landed at KLIA. Felt a weird mix of "FINALLY!" mixed with a pang of "Am I really doing this?". Customs were surprisingly painless. High five to the Malaysian border patrol! I'm usually a nervous wreck, but this time I sailed through. Maybe because I'd spent the entire flight mentally reviewing all the things I'd forgotten to pack.
15:00: Ubered (because public transport? Nah, I’m a tourist, guilty as charged) to The Colony. The driver was a chatty Cathy – bless him. He told me about the traffic and the best Nasi Lemak spots – useful intel, I thought.
16:00: Suite Shock! Okay, so the photos online don't even begin to do this place justice. The KLCC view from suite X15 is… well, it's obscene. Like, jaw-on-the-floor, breathe kind of obscene. I literally spent a solid 15 minutes just staring out the window, mouth agape, muttering things like "Holy moly…" and "Is this real life?" I’m pretty sure I scared a cleaning lady. Sorry, lady.
17:00: Forced myself away from the window (it was hard, okay?). Unpacked. Threw all my clothes everywhere, because, you know, organization is the antithesis of a good time on vacation. Scrounged for some kind of snack, found a packet of sad-looking biscuits in my bag. Ate them anyway. Luxury.
18:00: The Infinity Pool Beckoned! This was the reason I booked this place. The pictures looked amazing, but oh boy. I plunged in, and the sense of being suspended in the air and looking at the Petronas Towers was something else. The water was perfect, the sunset was on FIRE (literally, the sky became a watercolor masterpiece), and I felt a level of chill I haven’t experienced since… well, maybe ever. This whole experience was almost too much. I really considered just staying there indefinitely. I even started planning how I could live in the pool, the thoughts were short but very sweet.
19:00: Shower (after wrestling with the shower head - it leaked, but that's part of the charm, right?). Got dressed… ish. Decided to keep it casual.
20:00: Stumbled out of the suite, starving. Found a little restaurant near Suria KLCC. The food was… okay. Overpriced, but the view of the towers twinkling at night made up for it. Note to self: research restaurants before I get ravenous.
22:00: Back at the suite, lounging on the oversized sofa, feeling ridiculously content. Watched a terrible movie, which somehow felt perfect.
23:00: Fell asleep with my phone in my hand, dreaming of infinity pools and Petronas Towers.
Day 2: Culture Shock? More Like Culture Embrace! And an Unexpected Culinary Adventure
08:00: Woke up to that view again. Seriously, it's intoxicating. Coffee, balcony, repeat.
09:00: Attempted to hit the gym. Gave up after five minutes because there were people there, and frankly, sweat is not on my holiday agenda.
10:00: The Batu Caves Debacle: Okay, so I heard it was a must-see. Got myself an Uber, and off I went. The climb up the 272 steps was brutal. Seriously, I may need a new knee after this. The caves themselves were pretty breathtaking, the colors were amazing, and I was very happy to see the monkeys. (Keep your purse close, the monkeys are clever little thieves!)
12:00: Lunch Disaster: Okay, on the way back from Batu Caves, I saw a sign for a small coffee shop and restaurant. I got some "curry" that was… luke-warm and tasted faintly of sadness. Lesson learned: stick to recognized establishments!
14:00: Shopping at Suria KLCC. Got lost, confused, and overwhelmed by the sheer number of designer boutiques. Ended up buying a random souvenir keychain. Impulse buys are my specialty.
16:00: More Pool Time! I decided to become one with the pool. This is going to be a very important experience and focus for me. The day was extremely hot, and this was a great way to relax.
18:00: The Unexpected Feast: So, I’d walked past a small “hawker” (street food) stall the day before and was intrigued. Tonight, I dared to venture into it. And oh. My. God. The street food was the most incredible food I’d ever had. Explosions of flavor, cheap as chips, and a chaotic, wonderful energy. I ordered something that was chicken, some vegetables, and rice, I’ve no idea what it was called, but it was a taste sensation. I even made friends with the cook behind the counter.
20:00: Back at the suite, utterly full and absolutely buzzing from the food. I did a little happy dance in front of the Petronas Towers. No regrets.
22:00: Attempted to plan the next day. Got distracted by the view again, and abandoned the effort. Tomorrow is a mystery, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
Day 3: Part of an Unforgettable Memory
- 09:00: Last morning wake up. I woke up with a smile on my face. This was a great morning, the sun was shining, and the view was looking fantastic.
- 09:30: Packing up and getting ready to leave. I wasn't ready, but I knew I had to leave eventually.
- 10:00: I did what I had to do, and left. I will remember this forever, the best experience I ever had.
Final Thoughts (and Absolute Honesty):
This wasn't a perfect trip. I got lost. I ate some questionable food. I probably embarrassed myself more than once. But it was real. It was messy. It was hilarious. And the view from that suite? It was absolutely everything.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. (And next time, I'm bringing a bigger suitcase for all the souvenirs. And maybe a snorkel for the pool.)

KLCC's Infinity Pool Paradise: Suite X15 Awaits! (Colony Infinity) - The Good, The Bad, and the OMG-Did-That-Really-Happen?!
So, is this Colony Infinity place *really* as dreamy as the Instagram ads make it out to be?
Okay, let's be real. Instagram lies. Sometimes. But in this case? Okay, a lot of it IS dreamy. That infinity pool? Dude, it's like swimming into another dimension. I swear, I spent a good hour just staring at the Petronas Towers from the edge, feeling like I was floating on clouds. It IS breathtaking. Pure, unadulterated, "pinch me, am I dreaming?" breathtaking. The lighting at sunset? Forget about it. Pure gold. Now, did I almost slip and eat concrete while trying to take the perfect Insta-shot? Maybe. But we don’t talk about that. More on that later. ;)
What's the deal with Suite X15? Is it worth the splurge?
Alright, the suite. X15. Okay, so I booked it. Because, YOLO, right? Honestly? It's… nice. Really nice. The design is sleek, modern, and all that jazz. The windows are floor-to-ceiling, which is amazing when you’re hungover and just want to stare at the architecture. And the bed? Oh my god, the bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud of marshmallows made of pure luxury. Was it worth the splurge? Okay, now this is where it gets complicated. I mean, my wallet is still weeping softly, but… I’d probably do it again. There’s just something about the feeling of being pampered that’s utterly addictive. Besides, did I mention that bed?! Seriously, prioritize the bed. (Also, they do seem to have a problem with the aircon, it was freezing. But I'm guessing that might be good if you're hungover from that awesome happy hour!)
What about the food? Is there decent grub nearby?
The food situation is… mixed. Colony itself has decent breakfast (included, thank god, because after that price tag, I couldn't afford eggs). They have a nice view. But, let’s be honest, you're not going there for Michelin-star dining. There are some amazing restaurants nearby, of course. Suria KLCC has everything, from posh to… surprisingly affordable, as long as you have deep enough pockets. Pro-tip: Grab a takeaway Nasi Lemak from a street vendor *before* you check in. Because, priorities. And, because trust me, you don't want to be wandering around hangry. I made that mistake. Never again.
The infinity pool... What's the vibe like pool-side? Is it crowded?
The pool... The pool is where the magic happens. But let's be real, this is no secret. Yes, it can get crowded. Especially during peak hours. Expect to jostle for a prime sun lounger spot or even better, find the best, and most likely, empty pool chair. I once saw someone practically camp out on the edge for three hours doing all the Instagram-worthy poses. (You know, the ones where they’re "naturally" looking away from the camera with a perfectly windswept hair). But honestly? It's part of the experience. The buzz, the energy... Grab a [insert fancy cocktail name here] and embrace the chaos. Or, do what I did: go early, claim your spot, and enjoy the blissful peace before the crowds arrive. And the view. Don't forget about that insane view of the KL skyline. It's therapeutic. Almost.
Any hidden costs or things I should be aware of?
Oh, yes. Hidden costs. Because, you know, luxury. The mini-bar is a money-sucker. Seriously. Don't even look at it. Unless you have a death wish for your bank account. Then there's the parking (expensive), and the potential for impulse shopping at Suria KLCC (also expensive). Be mindful of the spa – it's tempting, but research prices first. And tip well! The staff are fantastic and genuinely friendly, especially when you're flustered and can't find the elevator. Which happened. More than once. And the laundry! Holy moly. That's a whole other level of expensive. I learned this the hard way. Pack light. You’ve been warned.
What was the worst (or most awkward/funny) moment you experienced? Spill the tea!
Okay. Buckle up. This is the good stuff. So, picture this: Day 2. Hungover (see previous notes re: mini-bar). Poolside. Feeling all fancy, in my (slightly too revealing) new swimsuit. Attempting a graceful entrance into the infinity pool. Emphasis on attempting. Because, you know, sometimes gravity wins. I slipped. Like a total klutz. Right in front of the entire pool area. Legs flailing, arms windmilling, a desperate yelp escaping my lips. I landed on my… well, you get the picture. Face first into the concrete. I swear I heard the sound of a thousand iPhones snapping photos. Mortifying is an understatement. For a second, I thought I'd broken something. But, miraculously, I was fine (just slightly bruised and a lot more humble). The staff were *amazing* and so discreet. They helped me out, with a gentle smile, and a subtle shake of the head. (My face was probably beet-red.) It’s a memory I'll cherish forever. (Or at least until I can erase it from my brain.) The moral of the story? Watch your step, and maybe, just maybe, skip the fancy heels by the pool.
Would you recommend it? Overall verdict?
Okay, so the bottom line? Yeah, I'd recommend it. Despite the financial pain, despite the near-death experience on the concrete, despite the crowds… it's a truly unique experience. That infinity pool. The views. The sheer sense of being pampered? It's worth it. Just be prepared to embrace the chaos, the potential for awkwardness, and the ever-present temptation of retail therapy. And for the love of all that is holy, watch your step by the pool! You’ll leave feeling slightly broke, slightly bewildered, and utterly… blissful. And you can always say you’ve been to one of the best places in the world, even with all its flaws. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to start saving for my next trip… (Maybe I'll try a different suite next time. Or at least pack some proper water shoes!)
