South China Morning Post – Seven years after Hotel Equatorial’s closure for a complete rebuild, the iconic five-star hotel finally reopened in April – and it was worth every second of the wait.

The Malaysian Reserve – A famous Belgian designer once said — when you get into a hotel room and lock the door, there is secrecy, luxury, comfort. There is reassurance. It is in the finest details of every surface, every smile and quality of the people within the building that make the difference. A night at an iconic hotel like the EQ Hotel is a pleasantly impressive affair.

TimChew.net – When the original Hotel Equatorial opened its doors in Kuala Lumpur back in 1973, it was the talk of the town and quickly gained a reputation as a premier five-star destination. Fast forward to 2012 and the hotel was almost 40 years old and thus the owners decided to close it for redevelopment. Well the redevelopment took almost seven years (takes time to safely knock down a building and construct an entirely new one!) and the new Equatorial Plaza reopened its doors (albeit a soft launch) on 1 March 2019.
