YTL Hotels is thrilled to announce the transformation of the iconic Starhill Gallery shopping mall located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s famous shopping belt Bukit Bintang.
The iconic mall will be fully revealed as The Starhill – Home of the Tastemakers in 2021, redefining Kuala Lumpur’s shopping scene in a new concept that infuses hospitality into the retail experience – where patrons will shop and stay in a refined home-like environment replete with tasteful, thoughtful touches.
The Starhill will be distinguished by four floors of experiential retail space and three more floors of hotel rooms creatively converted from former retail spaces in the upper levels of the mall.
The adjoining hotel JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur will also be adding 162 rooms to its current inventory on the upper floors of The Starhill to cater to the increasing demand for hotel rooms in the capital. Offering new and stylish accommodation, the extension will be seamlessly integrated with the lower retail space in one vertical seven-floor development – a first in Asia that truly breaks the boundary between retail and hospitality.
The transformation will also see nearby hotel The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur seamlessly connected to The Starhill by 2021; with all three hotels providing 1,100 rooms for patrons and making The Starhill a one-of-its-kind retail destination in Malaysia.
Mr Joseph Yeoh, Vice President of YTL Land & Development Bhd said, “With fast-changing values and consumption behaviour among savvy and socially-connected consumers, the transformation to The Starhill is in line with the need for retail malls to constantly evolve and differentiate to stay at the forefront of the changing retail landscape. The concept of The Starhill reinforces our positioning as the place to be in Bukit Bintang – an exclusive urban oasis focused on experiences in a refined and polished retail environment.”
