PB hotel design editorial

Positioned directly opposite the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur's KLCC district, the tower that houses Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur makes its case through proximity to one of the world's most recognisable skylines rather than competing with it architecturally. The 38-storey glass-and-steel structure, part of the broader KLCC development masterplanned in the 1990s alongside Cesar Pelli's twin towers, rises with the straightforward commercial confidence of its era — a pointed crown articulating the roofline, the distinctive petal-shaped porte-cochère at ground level giving the entry sequence an unexpected sculptural flourish visible in the exterior images. Inside, the 571 rooms work a palette of warm amber, terracotta, and sand — walls divided into colour-blocked planes that keep the interiors feeling considered rather than neutral, with striped wool-blend carpeting and low-slung upholstered sofas placed to draw the eye toward floor-to-ceiling windows framing the twin towers directly. The property's most memorable space is the upper-floor swimming pool, enclosed beneath a faceted glass-and-steel roof with angled walls that frame the Petronas towers through full-height glazing — an arrangement that turns a lap pool into an observation deck by a different name. The all-day dining restaurant, Gobo Chit Chat, unfolds beneath a barrel-vaulted ceiling pierced by star-point downlights, its travertine-toned floor and crimson patterned carpet providing the kind of generous volume that Shangri-La's upper-midscale Traders brand deploys to serve its predominantly corporate and conference clientele.

"Honestly, we really enjoyed our stay at Trader KL. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy and welcoming. Mr. Oliver was especially lovely, he was warm, helpful, and genuinely attentive, which made a really good first impression. Our room was comfortable and clean, and of course, the view was a highlight. Waking up to the KL skyline was such a nice touch. The location is also hard to beat, especially with KLCC just nearby. We loved that there’s a complimentary buggy service to KLCC too! Such a simple thing, but very convenient. We also had a great meal at Gobo Chit Chat. There was a good variety of food and everything we tried was really tasty. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and accommodating, and we never felt like we were left wanting for anything. Overall, it was one of those stays where everything just came together ❤️ great location, lovely service, comfortable room, and good food. We left feeling happy and well taken care of, and we’d definitely come back again!"

"Just an absolute pleasure and even better the second time around. We first came here 15 years ago as a couple and we had such great memories. Needless to say it did not disappoint and was even better the second time around. We had a family room facing the petronas towers which was an absolute treat - floor to ceiling windows and such a great view. The room was just perfect. Breakfast was stand out - fantastic choice - great staff and an egg station to die for… The bar was just a pleasure and again overlooking petronas towers with a swimming pool as well. The staff were attentive and the whole experience was a joy. So glad we came back. We will be back again"

"The hotel is very comfortable and, overall, has great service. The suites with a view of the Twin Towers are spacious and extremely comfortable, and what a view! The swimming area is most pleasant at sunrise, when it is mostly empty and quiet. The breakfast is very good, and the warmth of the front staff is commendable. The experience at the Club was extremely pleasant: Oliver and the team made us feel welcome with their warm, professional gestures. iI recommend Traders for its overall quality and location but also for the fantastic service I experienced."

"I can't get enough of Trader's strategic location, stunning views, and skyline . It's truly one of the best hotels I have experienced, with some of the finest staff I've encountered. Friendly, welcoming, and consistently delivering superb hospitality, the team works hard to make every stay memorable, especially those at the 32nd floor Executive Lounge, namely Mr. Oliver Soon. Oliver goes above and beyond to make my stay and that of other guests comfortable and enjoyable time and again. He is always ready to attend to guests' needs with excellent, genuine service. Having been with Trader's for many years and with a long career in the hospitality industry, Oliver remains remarkably humble. He consistently goes the extra mile, often working well beyond his official hours , even stepping in to cover for other staff when needed and to ensure each day closes with the utmost professionalism. He is, in every sense, service beyond self. A staff member of Oliver's caliber is hard to come by. His qualities are truly commendable, and I hope management will take the time to formally recognize and appreciate his dedication. Trader's and its guests truly have a gem in him. Thank you, Mr. Oliver Soon, for your outstanding dedication. With much appreciation,"
