Beating heart of Kuala Lumpur

Why the soon-to-open Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur is the number one choice for business travellers

Kuala Lumpur City Centre is buzzing with activity – the Golden Triangle packs a blur of corporate HQs and office towers, high-end retail and entertainment opportunities, and of course the iconic Petronas Towers.

Now, a new 65-storey architectural masterpiece has claimed its space in the heart of the Malaysian capital.

Housed in this soaring glass tower – the second tallest in the country – is the soon-to-open Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur, a luxurious, modern oasis for travellers to the city.

The location is unbeatable: right in the heart of the CBD with easy access to important corporate addresses such as the nearby KLCC park and convention centre.

Boasting 209 guest rooms, 27 serviced apartments and 242 private residences – this is the company’s largest-ever residential offering.

The stunning façade foreshadows what guests can expect in the rooms: handsomely decorated in a neutral colour scheme with luxury furnishings and modern facilities tailored to the needs of road warriors.

For those on longer stays, the serviced apartments are a compelling option: “Our one- and two- bedroom serviced apartments are complemented by our ‘Call us home’ initiative where we really focus on going above and beyond to meet our guests’ needs,” says Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur General Manager Tom Roelens.

“This means everything from arranging VIP airport experiences, or helping to arrange family schedules to surprising our guests with the ‘little things.’ A large part of my job has been to instil confidence in my team to empower them with the ability to use their initiative and creativity to constantly add value wherever possible.”

Additional business-friendly offerings include the Executive Lounge, with a full breakfast spread, private meeting room and cocktails and nibbles in the evening; wifi-equipped house transportation, making it easy to stay connected while commuting; and an expert in-house meeting and events team.

Dining requirements are taken care of with four unique restaurants and two lounges, which are set to redefine the city’s epicurean scene and mark Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur as a gastronomic hub. Highlights include Yun House for exquisite Cantonese cuisine prepared by award-winning chef Jimmy Wong, all-day dining restaurant Curate for theatrical presentation and international flavours, and sleek new Bar Trigona for masterful mixology in the evening.

After a busy day, visiting the hotel’s wellness facilities is an absolute must. The Spa is Kuala Lumpur’s premier new urban sanctuary, with a menu dedicated to skin science, massage therapy, body renewal, and customised treatments guided by a team of experts. Alternatively, a well-equipped gym and outdoor pool are standing by for those who need to burn off some steam.
