CHALLENGE The challenge was to design a sophisticated 40-story five-star Grand Hyatt and mixed-use development for downtown Kuala Lumpur. The structure would also include service apartments and offices in the design.
SOLUTION The design of the contemporary tower is one of simple and timeless elegance. The structure incorporates distinctive exterior materials of gold tinted glass and metallic coated white glazing and cladding, blending with the stainless steel cladding of the nearby Petronas Towers, and concrete and stone towers that flank the park. Guests will enter the building to check in, then ride the express lifts to the sky lobby where 360-degree views of the entire city will greet them. Guestrooms are situated on floors 21 to 37 with service apartments on four levels below.
SIZE 357 guestrooms; 38 service apartments; 20,000-square-meter office tower
