Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the Federation of Malaysia, is centrally located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Covering an area of 243 sq km (94 square miles), it lies approximately 35 km from the coast. Kuala Lumpur was conferred city status on February 1, 1972 and declared as a Federal Territory in 1974. The city began as a mining settlement in the late 1800s with the discovery of tin at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers. Although KL's tin trade has since declined, the growth of the city has remained unabated. Today, with a population of 1.8 million, it is the pulse of the nation. Kuala Lumpur leads the country's fast paced development in trade and commerce, banking and finance, manufacturing, transportation, information technology and tourism.

Getting to Kuala Lumpur is easy with over 40 international airlines, including Malaysia Airlines, serving the city's new stateof- the art KL International Airport (KLIA) at Sepang. Domestic routes are served by Air Asia, Pelangi Air, Singapore Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines, in addition to Malaysia Airlines. Malaysia is also accessible overland from Thailand and Singapore, via Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd which connects principal towns in Peninsular Malaysia.

This landmark 36 storey business hotel is superbly situated amidst five acres of landscaped gardens in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's business, entertainment and shopping district. Only a five minute walk away are the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and the world famous Petronas Twin Towers.
