Located within a glittering new skyscraper next to the Petronas Towers, Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur has opened its doors.

Rising 65 storeys above the busy streets of the capital, the all-new Hotel is welcoming its first guests to dine, drink, shop, relax, entertain, meet and stay at Four Seasons, and for a select few, to call Four Seasons their new home.

For General Manager Tom Roelens and his team of dedicated service specialists, it’s the end of one long journey of preparation, and the start of a new one as they welcome their first guests. “As the Hotel has come to life, we have looked forward to the day when it would be filled with people – international travellers in the city for business or leisure, local guests in our restaurants and spa, and the many residents who are becoming part of the extended Four Seasons family here in Kuala Lumpur.”

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle neighbourhood next to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the new building houses the Hotel with 209 guest rooms and suites, as well as serviced apartments for those guests looking for an extended stay, and Four Seasons Private Residences. Four Seasons Place is part of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, a 40 hectare (100 acre) complex with more upscale shopping, fine dining and vibrant nightlife next to a 20 hectare (50 acre) urban green park.

Acclaimed Four Seasons veteran and Executive Chef Junious Dickerson oversees the Hotel’s culinary program, with a half-dozen restaurants and lounges including the high-style Yun House for Cantonese specialities by Executive Chef Jimmy Wong, the chef showcase CurATE with its show kitchen, and Bar Trigona, a temple of modern cocktail culture with award-winning Head Bartender Ashish Sharma presiding.

Leisure facilities are highlighted by an outdoor pool oasis with private cabanas and adjacent bar and grill, and an eight treatment room spa offering a carefully designed menu inspired by Malaysian healing traditions and the latest global therapies. There’s also a large fitness centre to round out one’s healthy living routine.

Directly connected to the Hotel and residential tower is a retail podium, The Shoppes at Four Seasons Place, which includes a selection of luxury retail and dining outlets spread over six floors and highlighted by Decadent by Four Seasons for the ultimate in sweet treats and The Laundry Shoppe, a luxury laundry boutique.
