EQ Kuala Lumpur marks a bold new chapter in the legacy of one of the city’s most iconic hospitality names. Originally established in 1973 as Hotel Equatorial, the property quickly earned its reputation as a premier five-star destination, celebrated for impeccable service and acclaimed dining. Following four decades as a landmark in the city skyline, a transformative redevelopment was announced in 2012. Reintroduced in March 2019 as part of the Gold-standard Green Building Index-accredited Equatorial Plaza, EQ now rises as a 52-storey beacon of modern luxury and environmental consciousness—while preserving the signature warmth and hospitality that defined its predecessor.
