Malaysia Tatler – After a 7-year redevelopment, Hotel Equatorial Group reopened its flagship property in Kuala Lumpur under a new catchy name, EQ. The official opening, held at the Diamond Ballroom, saw the attendance of such prominent names in sport and high society such as Datuk Nicol David and husband-and-wife Dato’ Sri Jeffrey Raymond and Datin Sri Joyce Raymond.
Options – The Edge – Sushi master Masaaki Miyakawa and his elite culinary team from Tokyo’s acclaimed Sushi Shin is having a 10-day pop-up at EQ Kuala Lumpur’s Kampachi restaurant. Guests can enjoy an authentic omakase menu designed by chef Miyakawa, whose eponymous restaurant in Sapporo boasts three Michelin stars, until November 10.
The Star Metro – Malaysians, visitors and tourists alike will find an unusual point of interest amid the ceaseless traffic in Kuala Lumpur city if they are on foot, on the monorail or driving along Jalan Sultan Ismail towards Bukit Bintang. At a spot sandwiched between the hotel’s driveway entrance and the glass doors to EQ’s vast and bright lobby is one of two new sculptures by renowned artist Nizam Abdullah.
The Malaysian Reserve – If the name EQ seems familiar, it’s because the site it’s built on used to house Hotel Equatorial. As part of its ongoing Nipah Delight dining promotion, the hotel is offering buffet lunch at a steal. I, for one, found it worth the money if you’re going for a buffet.
Free Malaysia Today – If you want to make your November a month to remember, secure a reservation at the Kampachi restaurant in EQ Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Kampachi and EQ are joining hands to introduce Malaysians to the culinary delights of Chef Masaaki Miyakawa and his team from the famous Sushi Shin of Japan.

South China Morning Post – Shoot up to the 51st floor of luxury hotel EQ and let the dazzling new rooftop bar that is Blue take your breath away.
