Despite being a card carrying member of Robinsons for years (because it's free), I have little reason to spend much time and money there. So why did I decide to go check out the brand new flagship, downtown location? Just because. Also need the fodder. I was there on Vesak day, as malls are my temple.
It's in the Four Seasons Place, RIGHT NEXT TO KLCC/PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS. I couldn't find the parking information on their website earlier, so I messaged them on FB and I almost did a spit take when I found out how much it was (RM5 first hour, RM4 subsequent hour, etc), but shouldn't be so surprised cos it's downtown parking. The parking rates are really convoluted, so unless you're a 1%-er, you might either want to park elsewhere or take public transport down. It's right across the road from Avenue K.
If you ever felt that the Gardens store was a little claustrophobic, there's no worries about that there... just yet. It's pretty spacious, all things considered. There's also complimentary store-wide Wi-Fi.

I kinda also wanted to check out the non-halal food court in the basement (hilariously named Malaysia Boleh). After looking at all the expensive stuff upstairs, you won't feel too bad about spending 1, 2 digits on local dishes you can probably get outside of downtown, but too hungry to care.

I don't know about going again.... if I have time and energy, I guess.
