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. EQ offers 440 lavish guestrooms and suites with opulent amenities and stunning city views from every angle. As befitting a premier city hotel, it also has 13 fully equipped meeting and banquet rooms designed to cater to events such as board meetings, AGMs, media conferences, focus groups and training sessions. The unique 1,025 sqm Diamond Ballroom and Gallery offer flexible options for hosting events of all sizes including weddings and exhibitions, large conferences, and bespoke events. For a respite from the bustle of the city, Sanctum Wellness on Level 29 is an entire floor dedicated to fitness and wellness, including a state-of-the-art hotel gymnasium, spa and treatment rooms, a 25-metre infinity pool, a refreshing vitality pool, a Himalayan salt sauna, and an aromatherapy steam room. On the highest level of EQ is the luxurious urban dining and entertainment space – Sky51. It is home to Sabayon, a rooftop restaurant specialising in contemporary European cuisine and using only the finest ingredients. The ideal location for celebratory occasions such as birthdays, wedding proposals, anniversaries, and intimate wedding receptions. Show more Show less
