4. Getting There from Cormar Suites

The Convention Centre lies beyond the Petronas Towers, so allow a proper walk rather than a quick hop, or take a short Grab ride on wet days and before major keynotes.

5. Dining Near the Convention Centre

Suria KLCC is fine for fast bites, but when you need to entertain clients or debrief the team, Cormar Suites’ own restaurants are close by:
