Office blocks have been converted to hotels and serviced apartments. Holiday Inn Express in Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur, was previously Menara ING. Wisma KLIH, where HSBC Bank used to operate from at the Jalan Bukit Bintang-Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection, is now Wolo Hotel. (The Star filepic shows opening of the Holiday Inn Express.)
