Luxury Simplified
The Chow Kit rethinks the notion of luxury for the contemporary traveller. We believe that the greatest luxury is a life lived with comfort, purpose and balance – the sense that you are not bothered with frivolity, but focused on what matters most. Editing out what is unnecessary and keeping the essentials, is simplified luxury. Located in the bustling heart of old Kuala Lumpur, The Chow Kit is a traveller’s sanctuary, but not only just for rest – also for exploration and inspiration.
Welcome to Chow Kit
One of the 52 Places to Go in 2020 by The New York Times, Chow Kit sits cheek-by-jowl with the city’s golden triangle of shopping and commerce, Bukit Bintang, and the lively, tourist-worn Petaling Street, Chow Kit isn’t always the first stop for every traveller. But of course, you’re not just any traveller, and there are rewards lying behind the district’s tough, gritty exterior.
Rooms & Suites
Our 86 rooms and 27 suites are a modern reflection of Chow Kit’s history. They are contemporary spaces, with subtle details like fringe on a curtain’s edge, relaying traces of late night revels that lurked in the shadows of Chow Kit in the 70s and 80s. Each room features all the modern essentials a traveller needs – Free high-speed WiFi, Luxury Linen, Bespoke Organic Toiletries by Jeanie Botanicals and Smart TVs.
The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar
The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar is the warm heart of our hotel – an open space designed to celebrate the spirit of open houses – where strangers become friends and friends become family over a shared meal. Our dishes, crafted from spoken recipes passed down from generations that celebrates the multiculturalism of Malay cuisine, drawing from the north and south of Malaysia. Our food is simple and delicious, celebrating the honest flavours of locally sourced produce, from local artisanal vendors and the nearby Chow Kit market.
