Suria KLCC Best Shopping Mall in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

Suria KLCC shopping center is an imposing six-storey building at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur city center. Created in 1999, it was soon the talk of the town because it introduced a new level of style to the city with its wide array of haute couture stores.

Likened to Manhattan’s Barney’s and Saks Fifth Avenue, the mall is popular not only for its right-on-the-money location and upscale stores, but also because it has tourist attractions such as Aquaria KLCC and Petrosains, an oceanarium and science discovery center respectively, targeted at kids. Besides that, the mall is home to the Dewan Filharmonik Orkestra (Malaysia’s first concert hall) and the Petronas Art Gallery.

Then there is the fact that it is so close to KLCC Park and the KL Convention Centre: and with a light rail transit (LRT) station set adjacent to the building, the mall is easy to reach. Despite its modern design, Suria KLCC features little touches reminiscent of classic European malls, including plenty of greenery, white geometric-patterned marble floors, with exposed glass panels that let in natural light. Whilst some stores have high ceilings and huge arches along with impressive columns, others have low ceilings and no arches but plenty of their own stylish charm.

Suria KLCC is divided into three sections: Ampang Mall, Park Mall and the new Ramlee Mall. With great options for upmarket shopping, anchor tenants at Suria KLCC include major department stores such as a five-storey Isetan, Parkson Grand and Marks & Spencer. Additionally, there is a Cold Storage Supermarket and a 12-screen movie theatre (the biggest Tanjong Golden Village outlet in the country).

Within the anchor department stores are outlets for luxury labels and fashion houses. Isetan hosts more upscale brands such as Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren, while locally incorporated international retailer Parkson Grand has a more down-to-earth collection of mid-range stores such as Pierre Cardin, Sisley, Timberland and United Colors of Benetton.
