EQ Kuala Lumpur

EQ is the latest chapter in the legacy of one of Kuala Lumpur’s most well-known hospitality names. The original Hotel Equatorial was established in 1973 and quickly gained a reputation as a premier five-star destination, famed for its high service standards, and equally renowned for its stellar restaurants and bars. After 40 years as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, a redevelopment was announced in 2012. EQ was unveiled in March 2019, as part of the much-lauded Gold-standard Green Building Index-accredited Equatorial Plaza. The 52-storey hotel tower is ultra-modern and environmentally conscious, yet infused with its predecessor’s legendary warmth and outstanding level of hospitality. Since its debut in 2019, the hotel’s strategy to create new hospitality standards has proven to be the most rewarding. Notable accolades include Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2023, No. 5 in the 15 Favourite City Hotels in Asia, No. 35 in 100 Favourite Hotels in the World.
