Rooted in Nature, Rising in Luxury: Inside Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur welcomes a new icon of conscious luxury with the arrival of Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur, marking the Malaysian debut of the globally admired Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. Located in the dynamic Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), the city’s emerging financial and lifestyle hub, the hotel signals a new era where design, culture and nature coexist seamlessly.
Part of the luxury and lifestyle portfolio under IHG Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Naluria KL continues the brand’s legacy of crafting hotels that feel less like destinations and more like living, breathing cultural spaces deeply connected to their surroundings.
🌿 Botanics Beyond Aesthetics
The interiors are guided by a poetic design philosophy titled Botanics Beyond Aesthetics, brought to life by designer Arina Salam of Hassell. Rather than relying on surface-level greenery, the concept explores how Malaysia’s forests, food traditions and artisanal heritage shape spatial storytelling.
Stepping into the soaring lobby, guests are greeted by layered textures, forest-toned palettes and curated craftsmanship. Natural materials and organic forms create an atmosphere that feels grounding yet expressive a signature Kimpton balance of bold personality and refined calm.
🌾 When Harvest Becomes Architecture
The narrative deepens at Tuai + Till, the hotel’s signature dining destination. Tuai celebrates Peranakan-inspired flavours, while Till offers a Western culinary journey both housed within a space that transforms Malaysia’s agricultural rituals into architectural poetry.
Woven motifs inspired by ketupat folds, banana leaves and harvest baskets appear across screens, flooring and structural elements. Familiar food forms like angku kuih and mooncakes are abstracted into geometric patterns, filtering light to create a shimmering, almost meditative dining environment. Every detail invites guests to experience heritage not as nostalgia, but as living design.
🛠️ Quiet Craft, Elevated Luxury
In the guestrooms and suites, craftsmanship speaks softly yet powerfully. Carved headboards reference traditional rubber tapping, while executive suites introduce metal inlays and bespoke finishes that elevate local craft into contemporary luxury.
Even the rooftop bar, Four Siblings, carries symbolic depth. Peppercorn-inspired lighting nods to Malaysia’s historic spice trade, allowing guests to sip cocktails while overlooking the city a reminder that Kuala Lumpur’s past and future are always in dialogue.
🌏 A Global Brand, Deeply Local
More than a hotel, Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur is a design manifesto. It proves that luxury today is not about excess, but about intention about honouring place, people and story. Through thoughtful design and artisanal detail, Kimpton anchors its global identity firmly in Malaysian soil, offering guests an experience that is immersive, meaningful and unmistakably local.
