On 1 April 2025, YTL Hotels officially launched Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown, transforming the former 1970s Oriental Bank building at No. 1 Jalan Hang Lekiu into a 21‑storey design-forward urban oasis with 320 rooms.

🏛️ Moxy KL – A Heritage Facelift

• Restored landmark: The heritage façade has been carefully preserved, allowing the vintage charm of the old bank to shine through in the modern skyline 

• Adaptive reuse: Interiors are a vibrant tapestry of bold crimson hues, graffiti-style murals and neon strips—an artful blend of Chinatown’s legacy and Moxy’s signature edge

🛏️ Rooms That Speak Volume at Moxy KL

• Modular ingenuity: Each of the 320 rooms features space-saving modular furniture, industrial lighting, open shelving, rain‑shower walk‑ins, and locally inspired artwork 

• Vault surprise: One quirky highlight—the old bank vault—has been left intact. It has been converted into a cool event and club venue called Lavantha KL

🍹 Social Spaces That Pulse

• Zone In: The lobby is your front‑desk‑meets‑bar, where check‑ins are celebrated with a complimentary drink amid vinyl records and retro murals

• Zone Out: A laid‑back café‑style lounge offering breakfast and work‑friendly zones that morph throughout the day

• Bar Moxy (rooftop): A sky‑high pool bar with poolside lounging, cocktails at sunset, and powerful skyline views

💪 Stay & Play Essentials

• Fitness & pool: A 24/7 gym and an infinity rooftop pool await for early workouts and sundowner dips .

• Flexible spaces: “Dream Labs” event rooms and a repurposed vault space offer dynamic setups for meetings, events—or a dancefloor under disco lights
