Kuala Lumpur’s Kimpton will be part of The Exchange TRX, a visionary development at the heart of Tun Razak Exchange (TRX). More than just a financial district, TRX is a world-class hub featuring luxury residences, high-end retail, entertainment venues, and dynamic event spaces. It will be seamlessly integrated with a lush 10-acre public park, designed as the city’s vibrant new green heart, blending urban convenience with nature’s tranquility.
Kimpton’s reputation for vibrant, design-forward hotels means guests can anticipate 471 uniquely styled rooms, each infused with the brand’s signature quirky elegance and next-level comfort. This isn’t just about staying somewhere; it’s about feeling at home in an experience-driven space. Think bold interiors, unexpected details, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that breaks away from traditional luxury hotel norms.
As a luxury boutique hotel, Kimpton is known for offering an intimate and personalized experience, setting it apart from conventional high-end chains.
