Kuala Lumpur, 3 November 2023 – Stylish and sleek EQ Kuala Lumpur is a luxury sanctuary replete with social hotspots that conjure memories of another earlier golden era of its downtown neighborhood.

The Equatorial Hotel embarked on a different destiny when it was demolished in 2012. Now, a completely new-build property has taken on the legacy and somehow elevated it: the luxury, 440-room EQ Kuala Lumpur, part of the 52-story office block Equatorial Plaza.
