5. The Playing Venue & Official Hotel

The KL Open will be held at a venue to be announced later, and while it is not compulsory, we would recommend the very affordable and very comfortable official hotel, the Swiss Inn, Kuala Lumpur, where we propose a package for USD 200 for 7 nights stay on twin sharing basis inclusive of breakfast (USD 375 if alone) together with airport transfers.
The Swiss Inn is located on Petaling Street in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant China Town, a frantically busy market of amazing colours, smells and sights that is closed to traffic, and so offers an experience like no other from morning till night!
Around the corner is Pasar Seni (Central Market), today a cultural and crafts centre which is also next to a Light Rail Transit station of the same name and which connects to KL International Airport via the KL Sentral transportation hub and is a 10 minute ride to other major tourist attractions such as the Kuala Lumpur City Centre with its iconic Petronas Twin Towers.
On request we can also arrange 5-star hotel accommodation for participants at The Gardens Hotel & Residences at Mid Valley at a special rate of just USD 1,000 for 7 nights stay (and yes, that is inclusive of breakfast, airport transfers and shuttle to and fro the tournament venue).
