A retail space for food outlets with over 200 seats, family restaurant, café, travel agency and bureau d'change will also be included. The convention centre will incorporate a large aquarium that focuses on "edu-tainment"; a truly unique underwater experience with extensive use of multi-media technologies that integrates technology, education and entertainment. To be developed as part of the convention centre complex is a 600-room four-star hotel that provides a convenient accommodation for convention business delegates.
This landmark development will be equipped with state-of-the-art data network, structured cabling, wireless LAN, telecommunication and digital audiovisual facilities, which give flexibility for delegates to access more material and stay connected to their home base. These facilities shall establish a new benchmark for a convention venue.
The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, together with the existing Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur and the shopping and entertainment facilities of Suria KLCC complex provide a unique integrated precinct that can cater to needs of international and local convention and exhibition centre delegates.
The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and the proposed hotel is an exciting addition to Kuala Lumpur, justifying the claim that KLCC is one of the most important urban spaces in the world.
