Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur (must see)

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is a prominent shopping center located in the vibrant Bukit Bintang district of Kuala Lumpur. This bustling complex was constructed on the site where the historic Bukit Bintang Girls' School once stood. This school, known as the oldest in Kuala Lumpur, was relocated to Cheras in 2000, where it was renamed Sekolah Seri Bintang Utara.

The Pavilion Kuala Lumpur officially opened its doors on September 20, 2007. The extensive development comprises not only a premier shopping center but also includes two blocks of serviced apartments, an office block, and a luxurious 5-star hotel. In 2016, the mall expanded with the addition of Pavilion Elite, a significant extension, and was further enhanced by the development of a new residential block constructed above it.

Further expanding its presence, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur launched a sister mall in the southern suburbs of the city on December 3, 2021. This new mall, named Pavilion Bukit Jalil, boasts an impressive 1.8 million square feet of retail space. It houses notable features such as Malaysia's first Tsutaya Bookstore and the country's longest Muji Store. A distinctive highlight of Pavilion Bukit Jalil is its projection mapping dome located at the center court, adding a unique visual element to the shopping experience.

Continuing its expansion, a third mall under the Pavilion brand opened on October 8, 2023. Named Pavilion Damansara Heights, this mall, though smaller with only 1 million square feet of space, marks another significant addition to the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur's growing portfolio of retail destinations. Each of these malls, with their distinct characteristics and offerings, contributes to the dynamic retail landscape of Kuala Lumpur, drawing both local shoppers and international tourists.
