Pavillion, Bukit Bintang (4♦)

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is KL’s haute couture shopping Mecca. It takes a lot to stand out in the city’s mallscape but this shopping centre, which occupies prime real estate along Jalan Bukit Bintang, does just that. Opened in 2007 it has three major sections – a retail mall, an office block and two residential towers.

Keeping the city’s fashionistas looking polished, this KL staple is the perfect example of how extravagant some malls can be. It features almost the same staggering square footage as Mid Valley Megamall and 1 Utama and the 1.37 million-sqft white marble complex is a combination of indoor and outdoor shopping venues.

It resembles an oversized Grecian temple with post modern pillars, but instead of torches and an altar with a statue of Zeus, it houses over 450 snazzy stores.

At the main entrance of Pavilion KL is the tallest Liuli Crystal fountain in Malaysia, the Pavilion Crystal Fountain. Billed as a national landmark, just like Rome’s Trevi Fountain you can toss in your loose change to make a wish: coins are later donated to charity.

At Pavilion KL Malaysian fashion brands like Jimmy Choo can be found alongside big-ticket European luxury retailers such as Coach, Diane Von Furstenberg, Dolce & Gabbana, Juicy Couture, MaxMara, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent.

High-end browsing takes place at Couture Pavilion where upmarket, international fashion outposts (a majority of them occupying double-storey street front lots) like Michael Kors and Marc by Marc Jacobs are at. Meanwhile inside Pavilion KL are lower-priced, mid-market international and local brands such as Forever 21, Pull & Bear, MNG Mango and Salabianca.

柏威年广场

柏威年广场于2007年9月23日开幕，是位于吉隆坡武吉免登的其中一间大型购物广场。地点位在星光大道（Bintang Walk）的尾端，其前身为拥有超过百年历史的教会中学——Bukit Bintang Girls' School，该校在2000年已迁至市郊的蕉赖。比邻升禧广场（Starhill Gallery）、JW Marriott Hotel、Ritz Carlton Hotel、Westin Hotel、Millennium Hotel等其他的高档酒店与购物中心。除了购物广场，还包括368个单位的豪华公寓、19层楼办公室大楼及6星级精品酒店，发展总值达30亿令吉。

广场以“灵感的泉源”为建设概念，顶部以玻璃天窗设计，白天的自然光照射进来加上广场内以白色为主题颜色的设计，整间购物中心呈现一种白亮光净，宽大的感觉。顶部在晚上则会呈现由二极管投射的各种梦幻光彩。

商场出入口的原先规划是遵守“向左走、向右走”的设计方向，决定购物者到不同等级的商店。向右逛时会走向较高端时尚的商店；向左走则为快速时尚品牌，但随着越来越多的高端品牌进驻，这种区分已趋不明显。商场的另一设计特别之处，就是商场大门设于3楼，减低了消费者从低“爬”楼的困扰，入门后只需选择向下逛两层，或是向上逛3层，对购物者来说，心理上有减轻行路之苦的作用。

在商场大门前的广场上，设有一座三碗叠置的绚彩琉璃喷泉，取名为“大圆满花开”，三个碗交叠是取其“三三不尽”之意，也意味着马来西亚三大民族友好融合之情，碗内的大红花雕刻则代表马来西亚的国花。该喷泉造型的整体高度3.6米，阔度达6米，是出自是台湾琉璃艺术家杨惠珊之手，也是全世界以脱蜡铸造技法（Pate-de-verve）完成的最大型琉璃喷泉。该喷泉落成后，因绚丽的色彩变化和优美的造型，成为该商场主要的摄影点，该喷泉也频频出现在马来西亚观光局的宣传广告上。

BUKIT BINTANG

Bukit Bintang stylized as Bintang Walk or Starhill, the latter being a translation of the Malay name) is the name of the shopping and entertainment district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It encompasses Bukit Bintang Road and its immediate surrounding areas. The area has long been Kuala Lumpur's most prominent retail belt that is home to many landmark shopping centres, al-fresco cafés, swanky bars, night markets, as well as hawker-type eateries. This area is popular among tourists and locals, especially among the youths. A part of Bintang Walk is designated as an "Arab Street".

Nestled within Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, the Bukit Bintang district begins with Bukit Bintang Road which starts at Raja Chulan Road and ends at Pudu Road. The two other roads that border the Bukit Bintang district are Sultan Ismail Road which intersects it and Imbi Road at the south. Walter Grenier Road, Bulan Road, Changkat Bukit Bintang and Alor Road are considered part of the entertainment district.

Tong Shin Road in Bukit Bintang was the focal point of the Malaysia's deadly May 13 race riots. Back in the late 1980s, corporate magnate Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay proposed a rejuvenated retail cluster in Kuala Lumpur. He started retail developments in this area through a conglomerate YTL Corporation and branded the area as Bintang Walk. The district has since undergone a transformation to become one of the hippest destinations in the city, though the decentralisation of malls in Kuala Lumpur of late has seen more sophisticated malls sprouting around the fringes of the city proper at an unprecedented rate.
