Recognised by The Malaysia Book of Records, ‘The
Tallest Mural in Malaysia’ graces the exterior of RED by Sirocco, a new 4-star
boutique hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Painted
in less than a month by local artist Kenji Chai, the eye-catching mural
conceptualises the hotel’s Relax, Enjoy and Dream (hence R-E-D geddit?)
approach to hospitality.
Located
at Menara M101 in the retro Dang Wangi neighbourhood, the 143-key hotel is
anything but old school. A welcome refuge for business and leisure visitors,
RED by Sirocco reminds me of those quirky hipster boutique abodes in Taipei I
had stayed in.

Eclectic
furniture and colourful art pieces by local artists are the norm rather than
the exception in the lobby and key public spaces. The Grand Sky Ballroom on the
23rd floor accords a breathtaking view of the city skyline including
the solitary KL Tower.
The Grand
Opening party got off to an auspicious, rousing start with a pair of luminous
LED lion dancers performing the symbolic blessing ritual, to herald prosperity
and good luck for the hotel. Then it was the RED squad’s turn as the hotel
employees sportingly delivered a dynamic dance performance.
Datin Lea
Chan (centre), CEO of Sirocco Hospitality Group, said “RED by Sirocco Kuala Lumpur is
the new kid on the block, committed to provide the best hotel experience to our
guests. We want to make sure everyone has 101 reasons to stay with us.”
