Nestled in the heart of the country’s capital, the Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel is an urban haven for both leisure and business travelers. The hotel is just a few minutes away from the key financial institutions, shopping arcades, headquarters of multinational companies, famous landmarks such ask Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, Bukit Bintang, Chow Kit, etc.
Adjacent to the hotel is a stretch of heritage shop houses which consists of charming restaurants, bars, cafes, and a “mamak” restaurant for local delicacies. About 100 meters away is the Medan Tunku Monorail Station which will connect you to anywhere in KL together with its sister transit networks-KTM and LRT lines.
I have taken 2 video clips on my last visit to Imperial Sheraton Kuala Lumpur. Check out the charming and elegant hotel lobby and guest room.
Friaren is a lone waterfall at Geiranger fjord, but he will never feel lonesome. Sitting across him are the Seven Sisters Falls (De Syv Søstre) which consist of 7 separate streams. Friaren is enjoying the Seven Sister’s dancing and serenading while he is flirting playfully with them. The tallest sister has a height of 250 meters above sea level.
Cruising through the Geiranger fjord, you will see one of the world’s most spectacular views. Although Friaren does not have the height of the Seven Sisters Falls, he possesses a lot of capacity. Any ships that are cruising near by Friaren will easily feel the intense mist from the waterfall.
