Located on nearly four acres of freehold land in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, 8 Conlay exists as a modern refuge of luxury. The integrated property is poised to elevate the art of living in the capital city of Malaysia starting with the opening of its branded serviced residences in early 2022.

Situated between the prestigious KLCC area and the bustling Golden Triangle neighbourhood, the mixed-use development consists of three towers, atop a four-storey experiential retail space, featuring the first and only five-star Kempinski Hotel in Malaysia and two twisted towers devoted exclusively to branded serviced residences called YOO8 serviced by Kempinski. 

Designed by architect Hud Bakar of RSP Architects Kuala Lumpur with landscaping by Bangkok-based landscape architect Pok Kobkongsanti of TROP, 8 Conlay marks the inaugural development of the Malaysian lifestyle property developer KSK Land. 

A trailblazer in the international property development scene, KSK Land was founded in 2013 by KSK Group Berhad, an established investment holding company in Malaysia, with the singular vision to craft bespoke properties that prioritise design, craftsmanship and lifestyle.

A TRULY 'CONFLUENTIAL' EXPERIENCE AT KEMPINSKI HOTEL

Celebrated for its prestigious, old-world heritage, Kempinski is committed to providing its guests with memorable journeys inspired by exquisite European flair. In addition to its 260 rooms and 300 suites, the 8 Conlay Kempinski Hotel Kuala Lumpur will feature a range of gastronomic destinations, most notably the world's first-ever premium durian hotel lounge.

At Kempinski Hotel Kuala Lumpur, moments are crafted to be personalised, innovative and thought provoking while curating a truly 'confluential' experience, a term coined by Kempinski and KSK Land to describe the seamless blending of Kempinski's legendary hospitality with the diverse history, culture and influence of Malaysia.

Through colourful and flavourful gastronomic trails, the five-star luxury hotel will celebrate modern Malaysia and its one-of-a-kind spirit, positioning the hotel as a destination in Kuala Lumpur to meet, work and spend time together.

In addition to operating the 8 Conlay Kempinski Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Kempinski will be providing the branded residences with a variety of services, including a valet, concierge and doorman, as well as à la carte services such as laundry and housekeeping.

REDEFINING THE ART OF URBAN LIVING IN KUALA LUMPUR

Paving the wave to be the next crown jewel of branded residences in Southeast Asia, YOO8 serviced by Kempinski at 8 Conlay further redefines the art of living with its exclusive design concepts by Steve Leung & YOO (Tower A) and Kelly Hoppen for YOO (Tower B), and in-house services provided by the adjoining five-star Kempinski Hotel.

8 Conlay's design partner for YOO8 branded residences, YOO was created in 1999 by leading property developer, John Hitchcox, and celebrated designer, Philippe Starck, with a vision to enrich lives with extraordinary living spaces. Named the world's largest branded residences brand by Savills in 2018, YOO has worked with a team of celebrity designers to create distinctive designer-branded residential and hotel projects in over 36 countries throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, North and South America and the Middle East.
