Starhill

Starhill Gallery, previously known as Starhill Plaza; is by far the most luxurious shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur. A couple of years ago the 'Gallery' was added to the official name of the mall, this is because it is the largest watch gallery in the world. Starhill Gallery is a shopping mall for the upper-class Malaysians and wealthy western and Arab tourists. Marble floors, piano music, everything is focused on luxury. You will find a large number of exclusive (extremely expensive) shops with jewelry, designer boutiques etc. In the lower ground level of the mall you have a large number of exclusive and expensive restaurants; some of the best in Kuala Lumpur. Starhill Gallery is owned by YTL Group; a huge Malaysian company that also owns the popular Lot10 (5 minute walk from Starhill).
