Technology-driven airport hospitality brand Kepler Club officially opened its expanded facility at KLIA on 17 August, boosting its capacity from 64 to 148 beds.
The facility introduces double-deck cabins featuring fully private entrances — a world first inside an airport terminal — alongside app-controlled keyless doors and Bluetooth sound systems.
Bookable by the hour, these smart sleeping cabins allow guests to select custom ambient moods through the Kepler app, ranging from 'Rainforest' to 'Ocean' lighting and soundscapes
In a nod to local culture, select cabins feature original artwork by Malaysian artists, turning a quick nap into an immersive gallery experience.
Beyond private sleeping quarters, the 24-hour facility offers access to smart toilets, hot showers, lockers, high-speed WiFi, and unlimited refreshments.
Holding top ratings on Booking.com among hotels around KLIA, the facility relies on automated self-service kiosks and mobile app unlocking to streamline check-in
"The new KLIA facility reflects what we believe airport hospitality should become," said Ömer Alaettinoğlu, founder and CEO of Kepler Club.
"Every square metre is designed for efficiency and human comfort — powered by innovation and modernity. Air travel can be exhausting; rest should not be a luxury reserved for a few. We are grateful to Malaysia Airports for their partnership and support in making this expansion possible," Alaettinoğlu added.
