Lee Rubber Building, Art Deco building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Lee Rubber Building features five floors with a grey façade, striated lines, decorative moldings, and a geometric shape set at a corner angle of 45 degrees.
Constructed in 1930 as the headquarters for the Lee Rubber Company, the structure became the Japanese secret police headquarters between 1942 and 1945 during World War II.
The building represents the architectural modernization of Kuala Lumpur during the rubber industry growth period, with protected heritage status under the National Heritage Act.
The structure contains 49 guest rooms and suites following its transformation into a hotel, with easy access from the Pasar Seni LRT and MRT stations.
Natural light flows through a series of atriums integrated during renovation, while the original facade remains preserved according to heritage regulations.
