The Amazing Race in Malaysia Episode 4 All-Stars ⋆ Somewhere Luxurious

In the All Stars episode of The Amazing Race that aired on March 16, the racers had to choose between two roadblocks. One of the detours in episode 4 had the racers acting as DJs at a hot bar, called the SkyBar on level 33 of the Traders Hotel, located in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The SkyBar looked as though it was really a happening place with a mass of beautiful people partying in a beautiful place. Then there’s a view of the Twin Towers that guests can see from the hotel. With a skyline like this, the Traders Hotel wasn’t too hard to find, because it is near the Twin Towers.

The competitors of The Amazing Race in Malaysia all went to the SkyBar at the Traders Hotel where they worked intensely during the race to move on from these challenging roadblocks, but guests who stay at the Traders Hotel can really appreciate this hotel. The photo below depicts the SkyBar where everyone, the Globetrotters, Jet and Cord, the Afghanimals, Margie and Luke, Caroline and Jennifer, Brendon and Rachel, and Jessica and John worked on the two detours for The Amazing Race in Malaysia.

Had The Amazing Race competitors been able to take a substantial break in this hotel, they probably would have taken advantage of this comfortable-looking lounge area. Guests who book at the Traders Hotel can choose between gazing out of the window at the scenery below or at the pool.

The competitors for The Amazing Race in Malaysia probably wish that they could have paused during the competition to relax in the spa at the Traders Hotel. This rooftop spa, located on the 34th floor of the hotel, provides facials, body treatments (yes there are massages) and little extras like eye brightening, eyebrow tweezing and scalp massages. A basic refreshing 45-minute facial is about $67. A 60-minute massage is about $85.
