Else KL

The aim of the hotel’s design was to make Else as Malaysian as possible: from tapping local design firm Studio Bikin, to adorning the floors and walls with pieces by luxury rug designer Omar Khan. It also honours the building’s heritage and history, yet has just the right amount of contemporary cool to attract aesthetically inclined travellers. Else’s restaurant, Yellow Fin Horse, is helmed by chef Jun Wong and offers a seafood-centric, open-fire dining experience that champions elemental cooking methods. Expect bright, fresh flavours with a smoky twist, paired with an imaginative drinks selection.
