A Tropical Sanctuary in the Clouds: Kuala Lumpur's New Hotspot Hotel

Hotel: EQ Kuala Lumpur Address: Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur EQ Kuala Lumpur, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle with the Petronas Twin Towers, embodies the concept of a "vertical city." The sky lobby, designed by an international design firm, features a mirrored water feature reflecting the KLCC skyline and a towering 37-meter-high space adorned with a giant bamboo art installation by Malaysian artist Red Hong Yi. The glass curtain wall throughout the building acts as a frame, transforming the changing light and shadow of the Twin Towers into a flowing art exhibition. The 50th-floor sky pool is the most stunning feature, with a 270° panoramic terrace offering breathtaking views of landmarks such as the Kuala Lumpur Tower and Merdeka 118. At night, the neon lights reflecting on the water create one of Kuala Lumpur's best nightscapes. The Deluxe City View Room is highly recommended, with a bathtub directly facing the Kuala Lumpur Tower, turning bathing into a luxurious ritual. All room types are equipped with Hypnos mattresses and 500-thread-count linens, ensuring a deep sleep for business travelers. The bathrooms feature a blend of contemporary German sanitary ware and local natural fragrant wood elements, with toiletries from the Australian premium brand Appelles. The all-day dining restaurant, KLOE, features an open kitchen and serves authentic local delicacies such as Nyonya Laksa and Rendang Beef. The weekend brunch offers freshly shucked oysters and free-flow champagne, making it a popular event in the city. The View Lounge on the top floor transforms from a sky-high coffee lab during the day to a gin-themed bar at night, with its signature "Twin Towers Sunset" cocktail perfectly blending butterfly pea flower and gin. The 50th-floor sky pool is equipped with a temperature control system and underwater sound system, offering morning yoga classes with a direct view of the sunrise over the Twin Towers. The 24-hour Fitness Studio is equipped with the latest Technogym equipment, and the treadmills in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows face the Kuala Lumpur Tower.
