Kimpton has announced its Malaysian debut with the opening of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur. Owned by LQ Hotel Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between Lendlease and TRX City Sdn Bhd, this highly anticipated hotel opening is a striking new landmark within the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) district—Kuala Lumpur’s buzzing lifestyle and business hub, where local spirit meets global flair.
The hotel offers 466 guestrooms and suites spanning 26 stories, towering over The Exchange TRX mall, and accords iconic landmark views of the city such as Merdeka 118 and KL Tower. Within the rooms and suites, monolithic surfaces, sinuous forms and abstract art depicting the Malaysian rainforests are contrasted with bold, hued tiles, leaf-shaped mirrors and gilded bathroom installations. In-room amenities include luxury bath products and a minibar stocked with local treats such as Pandan Gula Melaka Granola & Salted Egg Yolk potato crisps and Pasa Cola, to name a few.

Led by the design studio Hassell, the hotel’s interior design follows the narrative of “Botanics Beyond Aesthetics,” where echoes of Malaysia’s lush parklands are brought to life. Harmonizing natural elements with stylish, bold designs, the hotel welcomes guests into a spacious, high-ceiling lobby and lush greenery. Earthy hues, forest-green tones, and organic textures integrate seamlessly into the rest of the hotel’s design-led interior.
Food and drink have always been a cornerstone of the brand, so in true Kimpton style, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur features four standout destination dining and social spaces. These include:
- Tuai + Till – A dual dining venue where guests can enjoy farm-to-table, fermentation-driven menus. Think cozy Malaysian cafe at Tuai and elegant Western brasserie at Till.
- Four Siblings – Malaysia’s first spice-themed bar and only rooftop bar in TRX. It is inspired by the historic spice trade, and the four essential spices—cinnamon, clove, cardamom and star anise. Guests can expect avant-garde, spice-infused cocktails crafted by top mixologists, alongside coastal bites from South America and Malay-inspired tapas.
- Rise & Grind – A contemporary grab-&-go espresso bar that embraces third-wave coffee artistry while honoring locally loved essence of Malaysia and its Kopitiam culture, featuring homegrown Liberica coffee beans.
- Sabato’s – Malaysia’s first retro-inspired Italian-American spot to rediscover 70s disco nights and pay homage to the Red Sauce Joint era is slated to open soon.

As with all Kimpton hotels, guests at Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur can enjoy unexpected perks and signature touches including in-room yoga mats and complimentary bikes for urban exploration as well as the beloved Kimpton Kickstart—a daily hosted morning energiser offering a selection of Liberica cold brew coffee, teh tarik (pulled milk tea), and detox shots and Kimpton Social—inviting guests to gather and connect over drinks, curated chef bites and conversation each evening. The Kimpton “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program offers guests access to a selection of curated items they may have left behind, from mobile phone chargers, makeup remover, hair spray or personal care items.
Wellness programming at Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur goes well beyond the conventional fitness experience. Guests can access:
- Minibar stocked with local prebiotic beverages, protein bars and a healthy nut mix.
- TRX Suspension training on the rooftop fitness terrace and a self-powered treadmill built for performance
- Complimentary workout sessions by expert instructors at Pulse, the hotel’s rooftop fitness center—from Pilates, personal training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), to tranquil early-morning sunrise yoga.
The Connection Hub will open in early 2026 and offers five inspiring spaces catered for intimate functions such as product launches and social occasions.
Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur joins a growing IHG portfolio of luxury lifestyle hotels, that opened in 2025 including Kimpton Main Frankfurt, Kimpton KAFD Riyadh, Kimpton Aqeos Hainan, Kimpton Atlântico Algarve and Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong, with more exciting destinations in the pipeline such as Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud opening in 2026.
