Following recent openings such as The RuMa, Momo’s and The Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur’s hotel scene continues to rise with the unveiling of KLoé, a lifestyle hub and hotel, in the capital’s Bukit Bintang district.
Local firm Domaine Architects has balanced the concrete bones of the new build with soothing duck-egg blue and sage hues, laidback furnishings and specially commissioned pieces by local designers, craftsmen and artists, making KLoé the ultimate insider’s guide to the city’s talents.
Adding to this, five bespoke Lofts have been conceptualised together with a handful of local tastemakers, such as celebrity chef Sarah Benjamin, who has curated a selection of artisanal produce and books in Room to Taste.
Aimed at travellers and locals alike, the hotel has a holistic wellness centre alongside a stellar F&B offering including a coffee shop, a cocktail bar and Monroe, a restaurant that hums from the first plate of eggs at brunch to last orders at night.
