Best located <b>hotel</b> for Disabled traveller please assist - Kuala <b>...</b>

Parkroyal is better location wise than Melia.

Melia is 2/3 down bukit bintang facing times square. Park Royal is in the middle across the other side of Jalan Sultan Ismail.

Bukit Bintang is more than 1km long. So you cannot be within 200m to everything. You have to decide where you want to be near to. Do you want to be near the electronics mall, or food street Jalan Alor? Or the lower end malls like times square and sungei wang then Melia.

Do you want to be near the upper market desinger brand malls like Pavillion, starhill,..etc then Park Royal.

Do you want to be right smack next to the high end malls, want a quiet but excellent hotel, then Ritz Carlton.
