Coworking spaces in KL


Work can get a little demotivating when you’re constantly facing a cubicle wall. And if you find yourself needing a change of pace, there are only so many cafes you can haunt on the daily. 

Whether you need constant fuel in the form of snacks, or could use a mid-day massage for your sore shoulders, you can now find coworking spaces tailored to any working habit out there, just like these ones in KL:


1. Colony – 5-star hotel amenities

Not all of us can enjoy the atas life, but you can come close by spending 5 days a week at Colony. Not only does their aesthetic match that of a 5-star hotel, their branches come equipped with all the amenities you’d expect to find in one – just think St.Regis.

At their outlet in KLCC, you’ll be treated to a good rub-down in their massage rooms for an additional fee, and for those who want to cool off, make use of the pool for a quick break. The rooftop gym is also great for people to get in their routine workout before or after work. 

And if you’re not much for fitness and would much rather have siesta time to recharge, you can head to their nap rooms.
