SCAPES Hotel
A view-worthy pool, backed by real numbers.
About this hotel
The pool here does more work than most highlands hotel pools: it's outdoors, it has a genuine view rather than facing a car park or wall, and it's flanked by a pool bar for anyone who wants a drink without leaving the water's edge. Rooms keep things practical with air-conditioning, a work desk, TV and free WiFi, and a fitness centre and outdoor play area round out the facilities for a mixed group of adults and kids. The restaurant runs a modern, family-friendly menu across Asian and international dishes, open for brunch, dinner and cocktails, with room service and in-room breakfast as backup options for slower mornings. A coffee shop handles the in-between moments. Free on-site private parking removes one more logistical headache, and with First World Plaza 13 kilometres off and the Petronas Twin Towers around 39 kilometres away, SCAPES sits in a workable spot for day trips down the hill.

Our take
The pool view is what tips SCAPES above a generic mid-range stay for us, and having a coffee shop as well as a full restaurant on site means the day doesn't have to be planned entirely around meal times. Solid rather than flashy, which is exactly what it should be at this price point.
- Book a pool-view room if that outlook matters, since the pool itself is the property's clear highlight.
- Use the coffee shop for a quick stop between activities rather than waiting on the full restaurant.
- Take advantage of the outdoor play area if travelling with kids, since it's a genuine facility rather than an afterthought.
Why we love it
- Outdoor pool with a real view, not just a functional tank
- Restaurant spans Asian and international menus across three meal periods
- Free private parking removes a common cost
- Coffee shop plus pool bar cover the smaller moments
Why guests love itSCAPES Hotel suits families who want space and a view: the family rooms pair well with an outdoor swimming pool that genuinely looks out over the landscape, and a garden gives children room to move. A pool bar, a coffee shop and a restaurant with Asian and international menus keep meals simple. Free private parking helps since it sits about 13 km from First World Plaza, so I would drive to the casino area. An 8.4 rating over 1,861 reviews is reassuring.
