1. Super Service
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, long check-in lines might feel like the bane of your existence, especially when you can't wait to slip in between cool satin sheets. But there are worse places to wait than the W Kuala Lumpur's stunning lobby, which wouldn't look out of place in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I didn't have to cool my heels for long, however – service was that swift. It's not often one is escorted all the way from the check-in counter to one's room, but Mr Pavan did just that, gallantly toting my luggage and indulging me in light banter.
