Going Places by Malaysia Airlines – After closing its doors seven years ago, the former Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur is reborn as EQ, a towering 52-storey gem of luxury in the heart of the city. The new hotel sports a modern and sophisticated look that is reflected in each of its 440 guest rooms and suites, and has numerous venue options for events, conferences and conference meetings alike.
Robb Report Malaysia – A certain calmness settles over the long, elegant dining counter of fine-grained wood as Chef Yusuke Ishigami begins preparations for the first of our seven-course kappou menu (from RM500 per person) at Kampachi EQ. Knives are laid out and sharpened, a pot of fish head stock bubbles on a hob, and a log of bamboo charcoal salt waits to be grated as we prepare for action to commence.
Prestige Online – “I’ll leave it up to you.” That’s exactly what ‘omakase’ translates to, a term we hear a lot of in Japanese fine dining. It’s a win-win situation for both chef and customer; the chef gets to flex his creativity and the customer gets to sit back and enjoy a quintessential dining experience.
South China Morning Post – Seven years after Hotel Equatorial’s closure for a complete rebuild, the iconic five-star hotel finally reopened in April – and it was worth every second of the wait. Returning with a new sophisticated name and a sleek tower to match, EQ enters a new era of excellence while staying true to its ethos of offering guests exceptional hospitality with heart.
The Malaysian Reserve – A famous Belgian designer once said — when you get into a hotel room and lock the door, there is secrecy, luxury, comfort. There is reassurance. It is in the finest details of every surface, every smile and quality of the people within the building that make the difference. A night at an iconic hotel like the EQ Hotel is a pleasantly impressive affair.
DestinAsian – It has been seven years since the closure and demolition of Kuala Lumpur’s beloved Hotel Equatorial, once a byword for ’70s glamour. Now, a new, rebranded incarnation stands in the same prime location on Jalan Sultan Ismail – EQ, a 52-story property with a modern and sophisticated persona.

TimChew.net – When the original Hotel Equatorial opened its doors in Kuala Lumpur back in 1973, it was the talk of the town and quickly gained a reputation as a premier five-star destination. Fast forward to 2012 and the hotel was almost 40 years old and thus the owners decided to close it for redevelopment. Well the redevelopment took almost seven years (takes time to safely knock down a building and construct an entirely new one!) and the new Equatorial Plaza reopened its doors (albeit a soft launch) on 1 March 2019.
Going Places Magazine – The nostalgic taste of home beckons at EQ Kuala Lumpur, as they introduce their Nostalgia Nipah buffet at Nipah Restaurant throughout the month of Ramadan – offering culinary delights and dishes that harken back to its golden yesteryears, when it was still known as Hotel Equatorial.
