Where should I stay for the Bahrain GP in Malaysia?

Kuala Lumpur vs staying near the airport

This is genuinely a two-way decision, not a default — stay in Kuala Lumpur for the actual city, or stay right at the airport for the shortest possible race-morning commute. Sepang's own hotel stock is thin and mostly airport-transit-oriented, so "stay near the circuit" effectively means one specific, very good hotel, not a neighbourhood of options.

Kuala Lumpur — KLCC & Bukit Bintang: 45-60 min from Sepang, four hotel options within walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers and the city's malls
