Genting Highlands -First World Hotel .

First world hotel is one of the largest hotels that loom over first world plaza that spans over 500,000 sq. feet area. Lush green yard, theme parks, shopping mall, food courts, casinos, golf course, gymnasium and a lovely Spanish courtyard would make you enamored. The greeting by the tropical rainforest at the gate of First World Hotel would make you feel special.
The first World Hotel-Genting Highlands.
I stayed at the First World Hotel, Genting Highlands, the biggest hotel in the world in terms of number of rooms - over 6,000 of them.
The first world hotel lobby.
 I don't have to go to the lobby for  check-in.Since I already have my online booking number and my bill paid thru my debit card etc.etc.I proceed to check-in/check-out kiosk..all done. Isn't it fast now a days and no welcome greeting  from the hotel staff.
Standard Room.
Our room was in tower 2 on the 22nd floor.Our room was OK but cramped, just as I'd read in numerous reviews of this hotel. Our room was a standard unit.  It's okay for sleeping, provided you are immune to the altitude, but not for spending large chunks of the day in.
But we are very thankful that we took up the special offer to stay at the biggest hotel in the world. It was clean and tidy not until we are in...
The temperature at night dropped as low as 15-17C while it was just 20C during the day. Way too cold to be doing anything outside.
Just outside the lobby of the First World Hotel stands a beautifully crafted model of Genting Highlands, and since I didn't have the time or the energy to get around the whole city, this model provides some great views.

We spent the bulk of our time at First World Hotel, Genting Highlands, at the Indoor Theme Park located on the first floor above the lobby. It's quite spectacular with myriad sights and sounds, trains trundling slowly through the air, shops lining the paved streets, and a boat ride through a mini-Venice.
