Blending Southeast Asian charm with modern luxury, Lloyd’s Inn Kuala Lumpur is Joan Chang’s third boutique hotel.
Joan Chang is the co-founder of Lloyd's Inn Kuala Lumpur , one of the city's newest boutique hotels.

But the recent opening of Lloyd's Inn Kuala Lumpur marks a significant milestonethe brand's second international and largest outpost and a new chapter for the young hospitality company.
However, the path to opening Lloyd's Inn KL was not without its obstacles. Construction faced considerable delays caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which also dealt a harsh blow to international tourism demand and cash flows across the hospitality industry. "We worked with Farm again as they intimately understand and helped shape the unique identity of the Lloyd's Inn brand from the very start," Chang explained."The core design ethosremains fundamentally the same. But it was adapted and supersized for KL in the form of a high-rise tower, marking our first such vertical property."All guestroom showers are open-air and outdoor.
"We retained the same core brand ethos that defines all of our properties in Singapore and Indonesia," Chang clarified."But certain elements like room configurations are localised to cater to nuances in guest preferences and needs in different markets.
In the first few months since opening, Lloyd's Inn KL has welcomed a healthy mix of local Malaysian guests, international tourists, and visitors already familiar with the brand from Singapore. The property's debut has generated positive buzz, particularly among business travellers who appreciate the tailored co-working areas and meeting facilities.truly offers something new and refreshing for this market.
