Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is a one stop mall in the heart of the city which really trumps all the other shopping malls around it with its size and capacity. I mean, seriously, have you seen how they’ve taken over Bukit Bintang Girls School and made a huge mall. To all ex-bbgs school girls, your school now is Pavilion! It is like a landmark in the golden triangle.

Anyways, just recently, Pavilion has been awarded with a prestigious FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Award 2009 in the Retail Category. Kudos to them as they beat 26 other world class entries worldwide to win this award. The award is awarded to a retail project which represents good aesthetics, functionality and size.

Pavilion too has created walkways for people to walk through Bukit Bintang. If you notice, you can now walk through Pavilion from one area to another either inside the mall, or through the pedestrian walkways created by Pavilion. So from Bangkok Jazz at Jalan Raja Chulan area to the Sungei Wang area without getting all sweaty. What’s exciting is that how they’ve got the duplex stores with really awesome storefront from high end designer brands for all to oogle on as they walk. From really high end brands to departmental stores, Pavilion has got it all covered. Even with 100% occupancy of over 430 tenants, Pavilion will be welcoming new stores which they’re very excited about.

Pavilion also is known for its initiatives to support the arts and culture scene. Many art shows were showcased in Pavilion including celebration of the biggest festivals together with the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage (KEKKWA).

Pavilion KL was awarded ‘Retail Development’ by FIABCI Malaysia Awards 2008, which made it eligible to enter the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Awards 2009. Aside from this award, the mall has also has been awarded ‘Premier Retail Centre’ by The Brand Laureate Award 2008; ‘Best Shopping Mall’ by Anugerah Pelancongan LIBUR 2008; ‘Silver Award, Favorite Shopping Complex’ by the Diplomatic Tourism Awards 2008 that was voted by ambassadors and the expatriate community within Malaysia; and ‘Most Magical Mall’ for Christmas 2007 by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia in the Best Decorated Mall contest held in conjunction with Malaysia Year End Sale 2007. It is no wonder they won the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Award.

Congratulations, Pavilion!
