The fun begins at Legoland Hotel

The fun begins at Legoland Hotel

LEGOLAND Hotel Malaysia is now open for business, and guests can enjoy the numerous facilities and experience the interactive learning process right from its doorsteps.

Finding one's way to the hotel is a breeze, as there are many signboards along the roads.

Visitors will spot the hotel almost immediately, thanks to its bright-coloured exterior.

There are more than 150 parking bays in the basement and it is free of charge.

At the driveway, guests can already spot Legoland's mascot Ollie the Dragon poking through the roof, and giant Lego minifigures guarding the entrance.

The lobby area is a children's paradise. There are play areas in the lobby and in front of Bricks Family Restaurant, with more than 100,000 Lego and Duplo bricks.

There is also an X-Box 360 video console where children and adults can keep themselves entertained, if they decide to stay indoors.

There are two structures -- a castle and a pirate ship -- built with Lego bricks in the lobby which will keep the children busy, while the adults are busy checking in at the reception. Guests are welcomed with a frenzy flavoured drink.

There are more than 12,000 minifigures lined up behind the counter.

There are numerous picture opportunities all over the hotel.

Key-cards are required to access the rooms and lifts.

The lifts are also Lego-themed and feature funky disco music.

The six-storey, four-star Legoland Hotel has 249 rooms. Seven are Pirate-themed deluxe rooms and eight are Kingdom suites. There are also seven connecting standard rooms.

All rooms include a king-sized bed and a separate sleeping area for up to three children, complete with a bunk bed, pull-out trundle bed, and an entertainment set.

The walls, carpets, beds, soft furnishings and fittings come with Lego features that will definitely keep both adults and children occupied.

Another interesting feature is the treasure box. There is question sheet with four questions. The answers to the questions can be found in the room.

Guests who have the four correct numbers can open the treasure box to reveal the treasure, which consists of free Lego merchandise.

The rooms are comfortable with coffee- or tea-making facilities, and a mini fridge.

Additional fixtures include lowered sinks and mirrors for children's convenience.

Legoland Hotel's Bricks Family Restaurant has a capacity of 465 pax, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a buffet spread.

Chef Abraham Lingcorn prepares delicious local, western and fusion dishes.

There is a separate island within the restaurant for children which offers tasty favourites such as miniature sandwiches, burgers, nuggets, lots of deserts and a chocolate fudge counter.

Other facilities in the hotel include a Skyline Bar, Lego retail outlet, courtyard gardens, business centre, surau, handicapped friendly guest rooms, luggage storage and wi-fi services.

Basic room rates start from RM400++ for a family room of five and includes breakfast.

Legoland Hotel director Sean S.L. Choo said hotel guests should take advantage of a current promotion which offers a two-day combo ticket which allows unrestricted movement to both the theme and water parks at the price of one.

A day adult combo ticket is priced at RM150 (aged between 12 and 59) and RM120 for the child combo (aged 3 to 11)/senior citizens (aged 60 and above).

Choo also said attractive packages that included discounted entrance tickets to the Legoland theme or water park, could be tailor-made to meet guests' requirements.

Bookings can be made at www.legoland.com.my/en/Hotel/Home/. Legoland annual pass holders can book room-only packages at a special rate by calling 07-597 8888.
