Merdeka 118 is a supertall mixed-use skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with 118 floors and a structural height of approximately 679 meters. It ranks among the world’s tallest buildings and is a prominent feature of the city’s skyline.

Public access includes high-level observation areas that offer panoramic views across Kuala Lumpur and toward the Petronas Towers and city center. The building also contains commercial, hospitality, and office spaces distributed across its podium and tower levels.

Planned and constructed in the 21st century as part of a major redevelopment project around the historic independence precinct, the building was conceived to combine commercial, hotel, and public viewing functions within a landmark tower.

Merdeka 118 stands in central Kuala Lumpur near the Merdeka Stadium and the older sections of the city, within walking distance of several mass-transit stations and urban redevelopment sites.

• Height and floors: The tower has 118 floors and a structural height of approximately 679 meters, making it one of the tallest buildings in the world.
• Location note: Located adjacent to the historic Merdeka Stadium, the tower sits in an area undergoing major urban redevelopment and is served by public transportation links.

What to See#

• Observation levels: High-floor viewing areas and public observation facilities that provide panoramic views of central Kuala Lumpur and surrounding neighborhoods.
• Podium and retail spaces: A multi-use podium containing retail and commercial spaces at the tower base, connected to the tower’s office and hospitality floors above.

Merdeka 118 is in central Kuala Lumpur beside Stadium Merdeka and Merdeka Square. It is served by Kuala Lumpur’s rapid transit network; the nearby Merdeka MRT station provides direct access and several city bus routes stop in the area.

From major hubs such as KL Sentral or Pasar Seni you can take the MRT/LRT or a short taxi to the Merdeka area and walk a few minutes to the tower.

• Book timed-entry or observation-deck tickets in advance and aim to arrive about an hour before sunset so you can see daylight views turn into city lights without standing in a long queue.
• Combine your visit with a walk around the surrounding Merdeka Square and heritage precinct to compare the modern tower views with the colonial skyline nearby-many visitors bypass the low‑level heritage areas.
