Element Kuala Lumpur marks 8th anniversary with style

Element by Westin Kuala Lumpur proudly marked its eighth anniversary this May, celebrating nearly a decade of delivering wellness-driven hospitality, sustainability-focused living, and breathtaking skyline views in the heart of the capital. The milestone was commemorated with an exclusive cocktail reception on May 8 at the hotel’s ILHAM Ballroom, drawing a warm crowd of media, partners, and longtime guests.

The evening exuded understated elegance with live music, refined bites, and a symbolic cake-cutting ceremony that paid tribute to the hotel’s journey since its opening. The celebration reflected the hotel’s ethos — a commitment to authentic connection, guest wellbeing, and green innovation.

“Turning eight is more than a milestone — it’s a celebration of the meaningful connections we’ve cultivated with our guests, our team, and the wider community,” said Valerie Ong, General Manager of Element Kuala Lumpur. “This evening is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey.”

A taste of longevity

The anniversary soirée featured a curated menu of canapés, with one standout dish drawing particular praise: the Longevity Noodles with Minced Duck and Vegetables. Symbolising enduring relationships and future prosperity, the dish encapsulated the evening’s theme of reflection and aspiration.

Set against the backdrop of a vibrant city skyline, guests mingled in an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. The ILHAM Ballroom, typically a venue for high-profile events, was transformed into a space for heartfelt appreciation and celebration.

General Manager Valerie Ong delivered a sincere speech highlighting the hotel’s dedication to delivering thoughtful hospitality and eco-conscious experiences — values that have become synonymous with the Element brand.
