Istana is Malay for palace. We used to have fun with the confusion it caused when this hotel first opened.
One of the earlier high-rise buildings along this road. The ground floor used to be occupied by the Fitzpatrick's Supermarket.
It is now owned by Great Eastern Insurance. Up to the early 1980's this used to be the location of Weld Supermarket, the premier Supermarket in KL operating from a 2-storey building. Cold Storage and Giant supermarkets have had an outlet here at different times but closed due to poor support.
