Element Kuala Lumpur is the fourth tallest building in Malaysia and the tallest eco-conscious hotel in Malaysia. The Hotel is housed within the 275-metre high mixed-use Ilham Tower. The iconic building is designed by globally acclaimed Foster+Partners. Situated in the vibrant Kuala Lumpur City Centre commercial district at Jalan Binjai, Element Kuala Lumpur has strategic proximity to various embassies, corporate offices and is within walking distance to Suria KLCC shopping centre and Kuala Lumpur's iconic Petronas Twin Towers.

The opening of Element Kuala Lumpur marks a new era in Southeast Asia for urban, eco-friendly hospitality. Built green from the ground-up, Element Kuala Lumpur is Green Building Index (GBI) certified. Inspired by the Westin brand, Element hotels feature natural light-filled stylish spaces, sustainable designs and eco-friendly practices. These include the use of rainwater harvesting system, indoor air quality CO2 monitor, day light glare control and energy efficient LED lighting.

Element Kuala Lumpur features 252 well-appointed rooms with city skyline and hill views, each with the Signature Heavenly® bed, spa-inspired bathrooms and amenities that uses premium plant-based infusions and certified organic ingredients. In addition to the 132 stylish studio units, the hotel offers one, two-and three-bedroom suites, reinventing the extended stay experience. Each suite is equipped with a kitchenette that features energy-efficient appliances including induction cooker, fridge, and dish washer. In support of the green initiatives, the NSF certified filtered water system is installed in the kitchenette so that guests can consume water safely directly from the tap and effectively eliminate the use of plastic bottles. All accommodation has a smart open-flow layout, illuminated with abundant natural light and visually appealing modern décor.

To add beauty to the building, the lobby at level 40 features an evocative light installation entitled “Life:Resilient” by Venezuelan artist – Claudia Bueno. The artist drew her inspiration primarily from Malaysia's rich tropical flora, plants and sea-life- the forms of abstracted mushrooms, fungi, hibiscus flowers, ferns, and coral will all be seen floating and meandering above the reception of the hotel. The light system changes softly with the time of the day, pulsating and coming alive as the colours change. The many exclusive art pieces showcased throughout the Hotel, from the lobby to the rooms and across the restaurant and bar, truly reflects the Hotel's elegance and charm.

TRACE restaurant & bar is the hotel's social hub serving signature RISE breakfast featuring refreshing smoothies, 63-degree sous-vide egg, wholesome granola, freshly baked assorted pastries and more. It provides spectacular views of the Twin Towers from its lofty 40th floor setting accompanied with exquisitely crafted regional and international dishes as well as handcrafted cocktails. The warm contemporary décor overlooking the city is equally suited to a business lunch or a more casual social gathering. Part of the brand program includes Relax:Evening Reception, a complimentary happy hour, offered four times a week from Monday to Thursday, 5.30pm - 7.00pm at the bar. Each gathering features carefully selected finger food and beverage pairings and an opportunity to mingle.

With four versatile meeting rooms, options abound for business and social functions at Element Kuala Lumpur. The clutter-free meeting rooms are supported by audio-visual technology and a skilled team of meeting and event associates. Every detail is taken care of to ensure an energizing, flawlessly organised business or social gathering. Sunlight filled rooms are fully equipped with modular furnishings. Following Element Hotels' core philosophy, every event is smart and sustainable, utilising low impact eco-friendly practices where possible.
