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.
Since its launch in May 2023, lyf Chinatown Kuala Lumpur has emerged as a lifestyle-driven hospitality destination that fuses vibrant community living with flexible accommodation.

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s cultural melting pot, lyf has hosted more than 60 community styled events in the past two years, ranging from creative workshops, comedy stand up shows, open mic,
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.
