Sky51 at EQ Kuala Lumpur

Fly free like a bird in EQ Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s newest Sky51 Sky Bar. Guests are able to experience a bird’s life up in the clouds with an ethereal intervention 250 metres up high. The concept of the rooftop bar takes you on an immersive experience into four phases of a bird lifecycle. The experience begins at the entrance of Sky51 Sky Bar, as guests arrive into a surreal stillness of an infinite space comprising infinity mirrors and reflective surfaces. The illusion of a boundless space emotes the idea of the limitless horizon — a bird spreads its wings as it slices through the clouds, gliding in equilibrium as it reaches the peak of its flight. The experiential space transitions into a glowing Maitre’D set against the lively bar deck. The scarlet red illumination depicts the city lights from a bird’s eye view, taking cues from a bird’s curiosity when peering into the city beneath. A few flutters to the right take you to the sky dining restaurant with elegant curvatures and soft materials to accentuate the nurturing nature of a bird tending to its young. On the left, a speakeasy entrance opens up into a bar lounge that takes on a dynamic shape of furious energy — portraying a ferocious hunt for survival. As one walks up the upper deck, marvel at the DJ booth that appears ‘afloat’ with a cantilevered table. At the corner of the outdoor bar, guests will stumble upon a space that’s peppered with pod seats, symbolising the nest — a sanctuary for where birds find refuge and safety. Here, guests are offered privacy as they experience tranquility amidst the lush green landscaping that dots the space.
