We Checked In to the Best City Hotel in Malaysia. Here’s What It’s Like
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, now also offers free ev charging for hotel stays. This locally grown hotel – voted in 2023, by Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia readers, Best City Hotel in Malaysia and, by T + L USA readers, tied for 35th Best in the World – neighbours with many of the international hotel chains that now circle the Petronas Twin Towers in the very Golden Triangle where the Blue Moon lounge stood.
