TimChew.net – When the original Hotel Equatorial opened its doors in Kuala Lumpur back in 1973, it was the talk of the town and quickly gained a reputation as a premier five-star destination. Fast forward to 2012 and the hotel was almost 40 years old and thus the owners decided to close it for redevelopment. Well the redevelopment took almost seven years and the new Equatorial Plaza reopened its doors on 1 March 2019.

The talk of the town now, is our king rooms with views of KL twin towers. Affordable luxury, stay in style!

For those on a budget our deluxe twin hotel bed room comes with 2 large single beds!
