Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown

YTL Hotels Opens 320-Key Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown

YTL Hotels, a pioneer in innovative hospitality, has announced the opening of two new properties, Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown and AC Hotel By Marriott, Ipoh, offering travelers unique experiences in two of Malaysia's most captivating destinations.

The historic Oriental Bank building on Jalan Hang Lekiu has been transformed into Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown, the first Moxy property to open in the city. Keeping its original façade, the 21-story restored landmark houses 320 rooms, each offering modern accommodations and Moxy's quintessential playfulness. The design narrative weaves in threads of Chinatown's rich tapestry, from bold crimson accents resembling traditional shophouse colors, to murals blending heritage motifs with street art flair, all accented by neon installations referencing Kuala Lumpur's famous night markets. Each guest room features modular furniture that transforms from workspace to lounge, industrial-chic lighting, and locally sourced artwork that tells Kuala Lumpur's story through visual vignettes.

The hotel's location is a front-row ticket to the culture of Kuala Lumpur and the symphony of sights and smells in its Chinatown. Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown also provides the perfect counterpoint to this urban energy. The lobby doubles as a social hub where check-in includes a welcome drink at Zone In. Moxy's all-day dining spot, Zone Out, provides breakfast and space to unwind or work. The property's Bar Moxy evolves throughout the day as poolside lounging culminates in golden-hour cocktails and the soundtrack of the city's pulse gradually shifts to welcome local nightlife.
