Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels and Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, makes its Malaysian debut with the opening of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur. This highly anticipated hotel opening is a striking new landmark within the Tun Razak Exchange, or commonly known as the TRX district – Kuala Lumpur’s premier lifestyle quarter, the latest international financial and business hub in the capital city.
Globally known for its design-led hotels that serve as vibrant community hubs, the debut of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur marks the continued strategic expansion into the Asia Pacific region. The hotel takes inspiration from Kuala Lumpur’s dynamic effervescence, from interior design to culinary, right down to its name. ‘Naluria’ derives from two Malay words, ‘Naluri’, meaning ‘instinct’, and ‘Ria’, meaning ‘joy’, which captures the essence of following one’s instinctive inner voice towards the pursuit of joy and happiness.
“The opening of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur represents not only a new destination for the brand – it’s a promise to deliver what we’re globally recognized for, unique properties with truly unique guest experiences to match. From inspiring spaces and distinct dining to the brand’s human hospitality, we look forward to creating unforgettable experiences and immersive human-to-human connections that capture the very heart and soul of Kuala Lumpur,” remarked Paul Cunningham, General Manager, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur.
Comprising a total of 466 guestrooms and suites, towering over The Exchange TRX mall, and some iconic landmark views of the city, such as Merdeka 118 and KL Tower, 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. These are complemented with luxury bath amenities from ARgENTUM and Penhaligon’s, and a minibar stocked with local treats such as Pandan Gula Melaka Granola & Salted Egg Yolk potato crisps, and Pasa Cola, a locally crafted spiced cola, amongst others.
Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur features four standout destination dining and social spaces, quickly set to become locally loved favorites – from reimagined Malaysian heritage dishes and retro Italian-American indulgence to artisanal brews and rooftop cocktails with skyline views.
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), detox shots and Kimpton Social – inviting guests to gather and connect over drinks, curated chef bites and conversation. 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 to personal care items.
The Connection Hub will open in early 2026 and offers five inspiring spaces catered for intimate functions such as product launches and social occasions.
