Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, also known as Pavilion KL, is a shopping centre situated in the Bukit Bintang district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
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.[4]
Pavilion Kuala Lumpur consists of eight shopping precincts and a row of street-front boutiques.[5]
Spanning 20400square feet, Beauty Hall is an oasis of rest and relaxation for shoppers with a myriad of spas and salons.[6]
Apart from housing Dôme and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf,[7] Centre Court is the place where all the large-scale events and promotions happen. Festive celebrations and thematic events such as KL Fashion Week[8] and Waku Waku Japan Festival[9] are all held in this area. The event area once featured the tallest Swarovski Christmas tree in Asia as part of the centre's Christmas celebration.[10]
Connection is the trendy hub that refreshes patrons with its al-fresco ambience with many restaurants, cafes, dessert places, and coffee shops. Connection is also home to the upcoming Dadi Cinema and Red Box Plus Karaoke.

Located at Level 7, Dining Loft is home to some first-in Malaysia and casual dining restaurants.
Located on Level 2 and Level 3, Fashion Avenue brings together big and popular brands to cater to the fashion forward and trend setters.[12]
Spanning the entire Level 1, Gourmet Emporium is a food haven that offers a full range of dining choices.[13] Gourmet supermarket Mercato (owned by Cold Storage) anchors the precinct while Singaporean food court chain Food Republic anchors the food atrium. Located nearby the Gourmet Emporium is an underpass to the adjacent Fahrenheit 88.
Located on the east end of Level 6, Tokyo Street is a Japanese-themed precinct merging traditional and modern elements of Japan under one roof. It houses Daiso, established Japanese restaurants and snack brands, Japanese art stores, and Japan-themed souvenir shops.
Pavilion Elite is the retail expansion of Pavilion KL and is built adjacent to the complex. It opened its doors to the public on the 29th of November 2016. Pavilion Elite has a net lettable area of 250,000 sq ft (land area around 1.29 acres) spanning ten floors.[14] The retail podium houses the largest Coach store in South-East Asia and the first COS in Malaysia.
In the future, the mall will also have a new retail extension as part of the Pavilion Square complex that is currently being built right across Jalan Raja Chulan.[15]
Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is located a short walk away from either of Bukit Bintang MRT/Monorail station from the south or Raja Chulan Monorail station from the north.[16] The centre is also linked to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and Suria KLCC (and hence its LRT station) via an elevated pedestrian walkway.[17] The pedestrian walkaway is air-conditioned and is about 1 kilometre long, about 15 to 20 minutes to walk.[18]
