Ugly Mint Hotel gets new buyer
Many KL-ites would be all too familiar with this giant shed bearing the unusual name of Mint Hotel.
The Mint Hotel stands in all its crass ugliness at the southern gateway to KL, being probably the first major building motorists see from the KL-Seremban Highway toll.
For some time now, this hotel has been under receivership and I for one was eagerly hoping some white knight would step in, level this eyesore and put up a more decent design worthy of its southern gateway status.
Then comes the news that the Lotus Group of restaurants has succeeded in its bid to buy over the hotel. Now while I can vouch for the good food the Lotus Restaurant serves, I honestly can't comment much about their hotel management abilities though they do have a 2-star hotel in Jln Tuanku Abdul Rahman.
I only hope they will do something about the building - heck even a giant lotus would be better than the shapeless hulk that is currently there.

The hotel is impossible to miss and I used to wonder, who would stay ther. But maybe a good owner can change the image and turn it around.
Any review on the abandoned 50 storey office,cum hotel tower at Jalan Ampang besides Wisma Denmark / Bukit Nenas monorail station ? Plaza Rakyat also suffers the same fate.
