The Federal Kuala Lumpur is an international-class hotel located on Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Bintang district. It hosts post-independence Malaya's first revolving restaurant.

History

The Federal Kuala Lumpur is the first international-class hotel of post-independence Malaya. It was built to coincide with Malaya's Independence commemoration to serve as a hotel for witnessing foreign dignitaries. It opened for business just three days before Malaya's Independence Day which falls on 31 August 1957.[2] It was founded by Low Yat[disambiguation needed].[3] The architect of the original nine-story building was Lee Yoon Thim. The taller wing housing the revolving restaurant was built in the early 1960s.[4]
