Lifestyle Asia – EQ Kuala Lumpur is a timeless treasure, a hotel that many would have known of before its transformation.
You’ve probably heard of EQ Kuala Lumpur, but perhaps not the same that you know of. Before it became the five-star hotel it is today, it was known as Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur. Built in 1973, the hotel was a focal point for many locals and gained its reputation as a five-star hotel destination around town. In 2012, it closed its doors for a full redevelopment and lay in waiting for seven years before making its grand return to the Golden Triangle.
Buro 24/7 – Spas have reopened with some comfortingly strict SOPs, which means we can get a little release without risking our lives. So, whether you’re looking for a couple’s retreat for an upcoming anniversary, planning a birthday surprise for your girls or just craving a plain ol’ treat for yourself, we’ve found the best spas in KL to get you some much-needed R&R.
If you’re looking to get a bespoke spa experience, the Sanctum Spa in EQ is worth checking out. The team curates your programme according to your preference, with chromatherapy—the holistic healing of the mind, body and spirit with colours—at its centre.
Yesterday, EQ announced the newest feather in its cap, a significant accolade to add on to an extensive collection. The hotel has been recognised as a 2020 Travellers’ Choice winner on Tripadvisor, with over 215 reviews earned since its opening last year.
Tatler Malaysia – “I wanted to create flavours that are inviting, delicious and healthy to cater to both young and older,” explained executive sous chef Tan Tzaan Ling with regards to EQ’s mooncakes in 2020. “We’ve experimented with textures and tastes of individual ingredients, combining the best of sweet and savoury as well as soft and chewy.”
Buro 24/7 – When I was younger, I remember my parents mentioning Hotel Equatorial pretty often but I never understood why. It’s one of those entities I knew about as a child but never really got to know. For many Malaysians, Hotel Equatorial, which first opened in 1973, was a place filled with nostalgic memories.
Although I won’t be having the same experiences, I’m grateful to be able to carve my own at EQ Kuala Lumpur—the rebranded version of Hotel Equatorial KL. The rebranding of the hotel brand means that the legacy of one of the major landmarks in the city lives on; for some to renew their memories and for others to indulge for the first time.
Recently, I had the opportunity to do a weekend staycation at the five-star hotel.
Buro 24/7 – Pair impressive panoramic city views with a location in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s famed Golden Triangle and you’ll get the perfect staycation combo. Since reopening in March 2019 as EQ Kuala Lumpur after Hotel Equatorial closed its doors in 2012 for redevelopment, EQ—with 440 guest rooms and suites—has continued to cement a reputation as a hotel to visit in KL. Now, an entire floor is dedicated to fitness and wellness including the Sanctum gym and spa, the 25-metre infinity pool, a large vitality pool, and the Himalayan salt sauna. On the 51st floor, there’s Sabayon, a restaurant offering contemporary European cuisine, and Blue, an open-air rooftop bar and lounge.
