Harrods Square (GPS: 3.14976, 101.71449) is a future development site on Jalan Raja Chulan, in Kuala Lumpur. In 2012, the site at the junction between Jalan Raja Chulan and Jalan Conlay was planned for a 7-star hotel to be known as Harrods Hotel. It was to be the first Harrods Hotel in the world, and initially Kuala Lumpur was intended to be the site. The development was to be a tripartite joint venture between Qatar Holding LLC, Tan Sri Desmond Lim Siew Choon (who developed Pavilion Kuala Lumpur across the road) and Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary of Tradewinds Corp Berhad.
A few years passed without seeing any development materializing on the 5.48-acre site. It appeared that Harrods Hotel may be sited in another city, perhaps in London or somewhere in Italy. By early 2015, the project appeared to have mothballed, and by August of that year, it was finally scrapped.
The site of Harrods Square may see another hotel being built there, but it will not be Harrods Hotel. More to come and will be updated here once the new name is available.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
