Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, also known as Pavilion KL, is a shopping centre situated in the Bukit Bintang, Bukit Jalil and Damansara Heights district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
History
Pavilion Kuala Lumpur was built on the former site of Bukit Bintang Girls' School, the oldest school in Kuala Lumpur, which was moved to Cheras as Sekolah Seri Bintang Utara in 2000. Opened on 20 September 2007, the development consists of a premier shopping centre, two blocks of serviced apartments, an office block and a 5-star hotel. The mall had also went through an extension in 2016 called Pavilion Elite, followed by a new residential block which was developed on top of it.
On 3 December 2021, it had opened its sister mall in the southern suburbs of Kuala Lumpur by the name of Pavilion Bukit Jalil, featuring 1.8 million sq ft of shopping and Malaysia's first Tsutaya Bookstore along with Malaysia's longest Muji Store. The mall also features a projection mapping dome at its center court. A third mall under the same name, although significantly smaller at only 1 million sq ft, known as Pavilion Damansara Heights was opened to the public on 9 October 2023.{{Cite web |last=pavilion |title=PAVILION DAMANSARA HEIGHTS MALL - Pavilion Damansara Heights Mall |url=https://pavilion-dh.com/,%20https://pavilion-dh.com/ |access-date=2023-07-12 |website=pavilion-dh.com |language=en-US}}
