MALAYSIA | Kimpton has debuted in Malaysia, with the opening of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur, located in Tun Razak Exchange.
Kimpton has made its Malaysian debut with the opening of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur. Owned by LQ Hotel Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between Lendlease and TRX City Sdn Bhd, this highly anticipated hotel opening is a striking new landmark within the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) district - Kuala Lumpur’s buzzing lifestyle and business hub, where local spirit meets global flair, and every corner invites our guests to follow their naluri (instinct) toward ria (joy).
Now, for the first time in Malaysia, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur brings that signature blend of bold style and human hospitality to a city that’s as vibrant and dynamic as the brand itself. Founded in San Francisco in 1981, Kimpton has always been about more than just a place to stay. It’s about creating spaces that feel like home, but with a twist, where design, dining, and human connection come together to spark unforgettable moments.
From the moment guests step inside, they will feel the pulse of Kuala Lumpur, in the art, the flavours, and the stories woven into every detail. Whether sipping a bespoke cocktail at the rooftop bar or discovering hidden gems in the city, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur is the invitation to live joyfully through one's instincts and make every stay personal.
The hotel offers 466 guestrooms and suites spanning 26 stories, towering over The Exchange TRX mall, and affording iconic landmark views of the city, such as Merdeka 118 and KL Tower. Within the rooms and suites, monolithic surfaces, sinuous forms and abstract art depicting the Malaysian rainforests are contrasted with bold, hued tiles, leaf-shaped mirrors and gilded bathroom installations. These are complemented with luxury bath amenities from ARgENTUM and Penhaligon’s, and a minibar stocked with local treats such as Pandan Gula Melaka Granola & Salted Egg Yolk potato crisps, only available in Malaysia and Pasa Cola, a locally crafted spiced cola, amongst others.
“The opening of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur represents not only a new destination for the brand, but it’s a promise to deliver what we’re globally recognised for, unique properties with truly unique guest experiences to match,” said Paul Cunningham, General Manager, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur.
“From inspiring spaces and distinct dining to the brand’s human hospitality, we look forward to creating unforgettable experiences and immersive human-to-human connections that capture the very heart and soul of Kuala Lumpur.”
Led by Hassell, an award-winning design studio, the hotel’s interior design follows the narrative of “Botanics Beyond Aesthetics”, where echoes of Malaysia’s lush parklands are brought to life. Harmonising natural elements with stylish, bold designs, the hotel welcomes guests into a spacious, high-ceiling lobby and lush greenery. Earthy hues, forest-green tones, and organic textures integrate seamlessly into the rest of the hotel’s design-led interior.
