Element Kuala Lumpur designed to be green from the ground up

Marriott International is bringing its Element Hotels brand to Southeast Asia with the debut of Element Kuala Lumpur this April.

The Element Kuala Lumpur will be the highest hotel in Malaysia as part of the 902-foot-high mixed-use Ilham Tower, designed by Foster+Partners. The development is also home to the Ilham Gallery, a public art space, commercial units and restaurants.

The hotel will have 252 guestrooms in a range of configurations from studio units to three-bedroom suites. Rooms will have "abundant" natural light and modern décor, a spa-inspired bathroom and all-natural bath amenities.

Built green from the ground-up, Element Kuala Lumpur is Green Building Index-certified.
