- lucycanSan Diego, CA3,608 contributionsThe building, which is mostly empty sits across from Independence square. It has British architecture and stands prominently in the area. I don't believe you can go in it at any location.Written September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lucycanSan Diego, CA3,608 contributionsTypical large rail station in the central area of KL. You can catch the express train to the airport here. There is a mall both IN the station with restaurants and shops as well as a mall attached to the station with higher end products. Great people watching!Written September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lucycanSan Diego, CA3,608 contributionsThe is the Royal Palace for the King. You can drive up to the entrance and look through the gates. You can get your picture with the guards and you can pet their horses! The parking lot has a bathroom.Written September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,538 contributionsTwo beautiful old buildings, the Railway Building and Railway Station, relics of a bygone age and now the office of Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad. Built in 1910 and 1917 to designs of British soldier/architect, Arthur Hubback, in the Moorish architectural style popular during the period. When first sighted, I assumed I was looking at a mosque with the ornate facades, domes and minarets atop the buildings. Its a shame that the buildings have not been converted to museums as available information is descriptive of the mix of architectural features and styles that adorn the inferiors. Unfortunately, the exteriors require some TLC, the deterioration of the structure very noticeable in places.Written April 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BudakampungKuala Lumpur, Malaysia194 contributionsHeritage building with great architecture. Great place for photo shooting and quick stop in KL to admire the beauty of the building.Written August 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heli PHelsinki, Finland7,461 contributionsNew high rises can't beat the harmony of this office building from 1984. Luckily it still stands out on its own now reached by a walkway from the hundred years older Central Market. Another covered connection links it with the Pasar Seni station.Written January 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Adeline Kong23 contributionsGreat hotel within the city with a good pool view. Faruk who was assisting us at the pool was very friendly and helpful. We had a good time chatting and understanding his background from Bangladesh.

- Heli PHelsinki, Finland7,461 contributionsSeveral buildings in KL represent the same period in Malaysian architecture dating back to the end of 20th century. Maybank and Dayabumi in downtown are the foremost and have the same sleek silhoutte as Luth. It houses religious institutions, the Bank of Islam and a travel agency organizing Haji journeys. Like a spaceship ready to be launched it used to flash in all neon colours in the dark when I watched it from my balcony in Perdana, now it is subdued.Written January 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Titus DSri Lanka6,908 contributionsThe Former or Old High Court Building is one of the many heritage buildings that you can find in the Merdeka Square area in KL. It is located near the to the City Theatre-Panggung Bandaraya building which is actually the Sultan Abdul Samad building in front of Dataran Merdeka. The Gombak River runs nearby and this Old High Court Building was designed by A.B. Hubback, the British architect who designed most of the heritage buildings in Malaysia with Moorish (Mughul) inspired architecture. It was started its construction in 1912 and completed in 1915. Due to the major fire in 1992, the building had to be rebuilt.
The High Courts in Malaysia are the third-highest courts in the hierarchy of courts, after the Federal Court and the Court of Appeal. The Court in Malaya has its principal registry in Kuala Lumpur, with other registries to be found in all states in peninsular Malaysia.
It is painted with white colour and it has bronze dooms at the top. A distinctive feature of the High Court Building are the towers topped with cupolas with decorative buttresses at the bases. The towers were originally dining chambers with private tiffin rooms. it first housed the High Court and Supreme Court.
Few years ago, there was a plan to convert this building into a gallery but now it seems that the plan has been abandoned. If you wish to come to Sri Lanka, I (top-10 contributor) can help you if you inform me through the message box, found in the pop up got by clicking my profile photo or my name in this review.
They shifted the high court building to the new one in Jalan Duta. When they moved out, it was occupied by the Sessions and Magistrates Court but it is still referred to as the High Court Building until today. It has since been taken over by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.Written April 26, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It continues the Moghul theme in its architectural style and, as many of the fine colonial buildings here, was designed by the English architect A.B.Hubback.Written April 26, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
