The EQ’s recent revamp boasts its iconic rectilinear 52-storey architecture with 440 guest rooms and suites enveloped in rich local identity. Reimagining a novel way to translate heritage into a space, cultural leitmotifs are refashioned to embody a sense of discovery within the walls in the property. Adopting the concept of ‘timeless chic heritage’, elements like songket, baskets and looms are reinterpreted in harmonious symphony. The common area is interlaced with beautiful woven textures inspired by traditional textiles and elements of nature. Its main feature lies in the grand lobby where a glistening polished rose gold spiralling staircase sparkles in dynamic fashion. A tower lantern complements with an interplay of opacity and luminosity — adding romance to the communal space. Its grandeur is paired with a neutral palette to translate a welcoming space informed by rich Malaysian hospitality. 

The EQ’s 440 guest rooms and suites are luxuriously decorated in intricate leitmotifs, each inspired by the rich heritage of Malaysia. Bold geometric patterns drawn from traditional Malay songket are translated into the carpets while feature walls derive from the art of henna. These artistic silhouettes are delicately used in a controlled and monolithic way to lend a sense of calmness and continuity to the space. The overall room is donned in splashes of dark tones, accentuated with sudden pop of ochre yellow and majestic gold. Natural nuances are added to provide balance with quasi-complex prints adding visual impact to the guest room. Bathrooms are decked in opulent marbles in dark shades while communal areas are donned with elements of local culture. Clean lines underscore the subtle elegance of the private chamber while drawing the eye to the unparalleled vista of the city skyline.
