Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, Skyscraper in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is a 28-story hotel with modern architecture and 662 rooms and suites. The building houses seven restaurants, multiple conference rooms, and a grand ballroom for events.
Construction finished in September 1984 with the official opening on April 20, 1985. This marked a new chapter for Kuala Lumpur as a modern hospitality destination in the mid-1980s.
The street name honors Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah, Malaysia's fourth highest ruler. Visitors notice local artistic touches throughout the rooms that draw from traditional Malaysian patterns.
The hotel sits centrally in Kuala Lumpur and is easy to reach. Keep in mind this is an upscale property with formal dining, so appropriate clothing for meals is a good idea.
The property received the Kuala Lumpur Mayor's Tourism Award in 2014 as the top hospitality establishment in the city. This recognition reflects its standing as one of the city's notable places for visitors.
