The six-storey retail podium at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers — 340+ outlets (official figure) across Concourse, Ground and Levels 1-4, anchored by Isetan, with Petrosains discovery centre and the Petronas Art Gallery inside. Opened 8 May 1998 as part of the KLCC masterplan; the name Suria is Malay for sunshine, from Sanskrit surya. Since January 2024 wholly owned by KLCCP after it bought PETRONAS's remaining 40% stake for RM1.95 billion.
Highlights & Experience
Retail Podium of the Twin Towers
Suria KLCC is the shopping core of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre development, spread over six levels — Concourse, Ground and Levels 1 to 4 — with more than 340 outlets per the mall's official count (older references cite 320-380). Isetan operates the anchor department store; former anchor Parkson has exited.
Petrosains and the Art Gallery Inside
Level 4 houses Petrosains, PETRONAS's interactive science discovery centre, and the Petronas Art Gallery — making the mall a cultural stop in its own right. The Dewan Filharmonik Petronas concert hall belongs to the tower complex rather than the mall, a boundary visitors often miss.
1998 Opening and the Ownership Chain
The mall opened 8 May 1998 alongside the towers (a 31 August 1999 date sometimes quoted is an outlier not supported by the official record). Suria derives from Malay 'sunlight', via Sanskrit surya. Ownership runs PETRONAS to KLCC Holdings to KLCCP, which completed full ownership in January 2024 by acquiring the remaining 40% for RM1.95 billion.

Daily 10:00-22:00, including most public holidays; individual tenants may differ.
How do I get to Suria KLCC by train?
Take the LRT Kelana Jaya line to KLCC station and use the direct underground passage, or the MRT to Persiaran KLCC station about 700 m away via sheltered walkway.
What attractions are inside the mall?
Petrosains science discovery centre (Level 4), the Petronas Art Gallery, an Isetan department store and 340+ retail and dining outlets. The fountain show is in the KLCC park just outside.
Is Suria KLCC part of the Petronas Twin Towers?
It is the retail podium at the towers' base within the KLCC development, with lift access towards the tower attractions — but the observation deck and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas are operated by the tower complex, not the mall.
Is there parking, and is there tourist tax refund?
Over 4,000 bays serve the KLCC precinct with published rates. Malaysia has no tourist tax-refund scheme in the SST era - the refund scheme existed under GST (2015-2018); do not count on refund counters.
