Design at Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur

The hotel building was once known as Wisma KFC. Through thoughtful adaptive reuse, Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur has preserved a key piece of urban memory, transforming the landmark into a vibrant modern hospitality hub.

The hotel’s contemporary interior is full of intriguing references to Kuala Lumpur’s story. The machine-wheel installation at the lobby, the metalwork and industrial textures seen in the rooms and across the hotel – even the workwear-inspired staff uniform designed by prominent local designer Melinda Looi – all point to the city’s tin-mining past. This distinctive design is grounded by Malaysian artist Jefr’s energetic graffiti art, which brings the city’s dynamic street culture into the hotel.

Two dramatic spiral staircases add more local character to Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur’s intriguing design. The one indoors is draped in greenery as a nod to Kuala Lumpur’s nature-rich cityscape while the other takes inspiration from the city’s historical shophouses. This outdoor staircase guides guests from the IL Forno restaurant on the 19th floor up to its rooftop experiences, with special landings that double as vantage points to take in the city views from a unique angle.
