Ascott Malaysia celebrated the 2nd Anniversary of its pioneering social lifestyle hotel, lyf Chinatown Kuala Lumpur, an innovative space designed for millennial and Gen Z travellers, digital nomads, and local creatives. The celebration took place on Friday, 23rd May 2025, from 2:00PM to 4:00PM at Connect, Level 12.

cultural talks to wellness sessions, art pop-ups, and entrepreneurial showcases, all designed to foster collaboration and community among residents and the wider public. It’s A Celebration Like No Other.
