SEEKERS - LOUNGE BAND @ SERI PACIFIC HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR

THE BEST BAND IN A HOTEL LOUNGE - THE SEEKERS, CHEREZA LOUNGE!

The best band in a hotel lounge must be The Seekers who currently perform at the Chereza Lounge, located at the 5 Star Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur which is just beside the iconic PWTC building.

The Seekers band's repertoire are from the yesteryear's of the Beatles to the latest PSY hit "Gentleman". They can not only sing English numbers but Malay, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Tamil, Hindi  & Indonesian songs too. So it's no surprise, that the band has a loyal following for the last couple of years. Eddie who plays the keyboard is an excellent Guitarist. You will most likely see him suddenly right beside your table, doing a rock solo on his guitar. He must be one of the best guitarist around, his singing however is not the greatest but still palatable.

 The trio Jezee, Vanessa and Cris are the ones who keep the guest mesmerised with their amazing voices and energetic dance routines. They really compliment each other and are a closely knit trio. They do great impersonations of Michael Jackson and few others, full costume and all. Guest can go up and dance on the dance floor too and if you are shy, you can bet that the seekers will seek you out and pull you up for a dance. It's all about having a good time here.

A beautiful point to note, is despite them performing on stage in sexy outfits for many years already, they are still extremely modest and shy when off stage, usually covering themselves up when greeting guest. They are sure to give you a warm welcome when you arrive and a warm send off when  you leave.

The Chereza Lounge is cosy and has a nice ambiance to it. Mr. Rudy the Lounge Manager is very attentive and makes sure that his guest are well taken care of. He is a good singer and does belt out a few numbers on the request of the regular guest.

While there you are most likely to bump into the Hotel's Director of Operations, Mr. Peter Padman who is an accomplished Piano player. He loves to get on the piano to play along with the Seekers Band.



This must be the only hotel lounge that serves "Teh Tarik" (A Malaysian tea infused with sweet condensed milk) by the Jug! They have great tasting snacks and you can order from the Zende Restaurant too. Their popular snacks are the prawn sambal on toast, cheeze& mushroom on toast,  the fried popiah, samosa and a must try must be the chicken wings.

The lounge is great place to enjoy your cigar and drinks. It has a well stocked cigar divan in the lounge run by Trinidad Cigars.They have a good selection of wines and the usual liquors to choose from.  If you spend more than RM400 on beverages in a single bill, you even get a complimentary room nights stay! Now that's one for the don't drink and drive campaign!


For sports enthusiasts, its also a great place to unwind, have some healthy cocktails and catch your favourite sports programs on the big screen television,

Just a warning, if you see someone resembling like the Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato Seri Najib Razak sitting right at the back of the lounge, you may go get his autograph, but he is actually Mr. Halim Merican the warm and friendly Hotel General Manager!

Overall the service at the lounge is pretty good and staff are generally warm and friendly.

Verdict: The Chereza lounge is a great place  to have your birthday celebrations or just a relaxing drink with a few friends on weekday. Good music, great performances by the band, good food and drinks in a cosy lounge, what more would you need. Even if you wandered into the lounge alone, you would still have a good time. I went there in mid February and practically have never left!
