(December 1, 2025) Now home to a lifestyle hotel, the former KFC building in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, is yet again ready to be a tapestry for stunning events. Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur celebrates its first anniversary with “Centric Turns 1 – Book, Scratch & Win” and a line-up of Festive Offerings. With the PETRONAS Twin Towers turned into giant representations of Christmas trees, it will be difficult to find a better backdrop for a month-long celebration. 

As if one reason to celebrate is not enough: Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur rings in its first anniversary this December with a double celebration. For extra excitement, the launch of its exciting “Centric Turns 1 – Book, Scratch & Win” campaign highlights the culinary delights for this festive season. In a series of festive dining experiences at IL Forno, the hotel’s signature Italian restaurant, the food is supported by a month-long Festive Happy Hour at @21 Rooftop Bar. City-dwellers and holiday makers are invited to sample limited-edition holiday cocktails served against sweeping views of the city skyline in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Curious travellers and savvy locals can look forward to festive cheer, elevated flavours, and rewarding surprises!

In celebration of an incredible year in Kuala Lumpur, the hotel invites guests to participate in its first-ever “Book, Scratch & Win” campaign. Until 18 December 2025, guests who book and check in between 1 December and 18 December 2025 will enjoy the opportunity to scratch and win exclusive rewards upon check-in.

In conjunction with the 1-year anniversary celebration, the hotel’s signature Italian restaurant, IL Forno, presents a culinary festive line-up inspired by the warmth of la tavola italiana.
