The twin Petronas Towers of Kuala Lumpur are fast becoming the emblem of this magnificent city, which grows every year with increasingly futuristic buildings and in which reigns a refined and elegantly relaxed atmosphere. Once night has fallen, myriads of locals and tourists take over the heart of KL at the commercial center located at the base of the famous towers.

At 10:00 p.m., a colourful and cosmopolitan crowd does its high-end shopping at the five floors dedicated to luxury boutiques, most of which are French. Credit cards heat up to the joy of shoppers seeking French chic. If your quality of life compels you and if you have the means, it's good form to then go out to dinner (supper, rather) at Troïka, on the 27th floor of a skyscraper neighboring the towers. You will taste refined cuisine and discover the flavors of exceptional finesse, surrounded in style and with panoramic views of the heart of city. Adventurous types then head to the 57th floor of another building to spend time at Marini’s, a trendy bar in Kuala Lumpur, where a D.J. presides over turntables amidst spinning spotlights. The terrace offers the most breathtaking view there is: the Petronas Towers at night, shining with thousands of lights and around which night birds fly tirelessly, stunned by the brillance of the twin towers,  mimicking the crowds of local youth sipping cocktails and dancing in the high-charge energy of Marini’s.
