Kl Tower – Malaysian Technological Excellence

Opened in 1996, the KL tower, with a height of 421 meters is the fifth in the list of tallest towers in the world used mainly for telecommunication and multimedia broadcasting purposes. The construction of this tower began in 1991 as a three phase process and maintenance of the tower is done by a subsidiary of the telekom Malaysia group. When this tower was constructed high attention was paid to the environmental protection where a forest named Bukit Nanas was kept untouched. It is also said that to avoid the cutting down of a 100 year old Jelutong tree, the tower location was moved.

The KL tower also offers a vast number of facilities where the Mega View Banquet Deck offers wonderful scenery and world class facilities for weddings, meetings, seminars or any kind of major event. This deck has four rooms catering to the exact requirement of the event planner. Specially designed for meetings and conferences is the open-air amphitheatre. This is ideal for live performances as it is equipped with hi- tech PA system. The mini theatre of the tower can be utilized for small functions while the tower terrace is rented for private functions that provide a welcoming atmosphere. A magnificent bird’s eye view of the KL city and the Petronas twin towers are offered at the observation tower.

If it is a souvenir, portrait or a gift that you want after visiting the tower, there is much on offer at the ground floor. The Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant situated at the level two of the tower is the official restaurant of the tower which is ideal for a romantic dinner. There are also three more restaurants named Café D Tandoor, Simply Café and Knights Café offering different styles of meals.
