Widely known as the “Menara Kuala Lumpur”, the Kuala Lumpur Tower currently ranks as the fifth tallest telecommunication tower in the world and is a highly visible and prestigious landmark in Malaysia. Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's business and entertainment district, it towers majestically atop Bukit Nanas (Pineapple Hill) giving a breathtaking view of the city. The view is said to be better than that of the Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in Kuala Lumpur, because Kuala Lumpur Tower is built on a hill and even appears to be taller than the Petronas Towers.
It is one of the biggest projects to be undertaken in Malaysia, the construction of which took over a period of four years to complete. Today the tower acts as the country's main telecommunications and multimedia broadcasting tower and is one of the top tourist destinations offering picturesque views and various other exciting programmes for visitor entertainment.
The tower also has a unique architectural heritage reflecting the Malaysian Islamic culture. The traditional Islamic 'Muqarnas' can be seen at the lobby entrance which is decorated with exquisite glass-clad domes that illuminate like giant diamonds. The decorative glass windows, detailing Arabic Scripts, Islamic tiles and classic floral designs altogether enhance the lavishness of the tower.
The key attractions of the Kuala Lumpur Tower include the open-air amphitheatre for cultural and musical events and the Tower Terrace with cascading pools. There are top-class dining and shopping facilities and a venue for private functions offering a bird's eye view of the city.
If you are planning a visit to Kuala Lumpur this famous landmark is a must see in the city. Hence it is advisable that you select a Kuala Lumpur hotel located in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle such as Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur which offers luxury facilities to its guests.
