Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
by: Janice Kou

During a visit to Kuala Lumpur , one cannot claim to have been there and done that if he or she has not been to the Suria Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). KLCC has been dubbed a city within a city and is truly one of the most recognizable landmarks in Malaysia , if not the world! The 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers stands majestically as a backdrop behind KLCC and it’s the world’s 2 nd tallest building structure. It is a unique blend of Islamic heritage architecture with contemporary designs. An interesting fact about this world-class structure is a sky bridge on the 41 st floor that connects the twin towers; allowing an observation deck to wow visitors with a bird’s view of KL city. However, take note that this exclusive view is only available to visitors during specified visiting hours.

KLCC, Malaysia’s premier shopping destination, offers six levels of the best international and local brands for shoppers far and near. For another eye-popping and delightful experience, one can also choose to go to the live fish feeding viewing session; strictly executed only by divers on duty. For performance arts enthusiasts, a visit to the 864-seater Dewan Fillharmornik Petronas or better known as the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra is an absolute must! This prestigious venue of architectural and acoustic distinction proudly serves its sole purpose by housing the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

For those who fancy a relaxing stroll in the park, the beautiful landscape surrounding KLCC is the masterpiece of talented Brazilian master of gardens, the late Roberto Burle Marx. It offers a relaxing environment amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. You will find it handy to tote a camera wherever you go, lest you forget to capture picturesque scenery. The awesome Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC paints the ultimate backdrop; guaranteeing perfect scenic shots for all your memorable moments.

After hours of leisurely shopping at KLCC, rejuvenate and let your hair down when you’re at the lush hotel rooms in Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur Hotel. You might be a thousand miles away from home, but the wide variety of menu choices ranging from Indian culinary to Western is assured to leave you with a gastronomic experience that will more than satisfy your taste buds.

Apart from shopping, KLCC too rents out their convention floors where corporate and special events are held in grandiose. Restaurants in the shopping mall cover a wide range of tastes; locals and those from afar are warmly welcomed when they are fed with the scrumptious and international spreads under one roof. With everything under the sun that you’ll possibly need, one can only expect the best treatment and hospitality from one of the most important urban spaces in the world… the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre! After visiting it, it would be needless to say that visitors come away awed and determined to revisit KLCC; truly an experience of a lifetime!
