Situated along Jalan Ampang, MATIC was once known as the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Hall. Built in 1935, it was originally the mansion of Eu Tong Seng, a wealthy planter and tin-miner. Many historical events took place in this ancient building, one of which was the installation of the country's first King. After being renovated in 1988, it now houses a one-stop information centre offering a wide range of facilities to assist tourists in planning a holiday in Malaysia. Apart from providing counter services, the complex also holds cultural performances and theatrical shows in the mini-auditorium.Open Hours

Situated in a beautiful old mansion, the MTC in Kuala Lumpur is a must visit for all visitors to the city. Just around the corner from the Petronas Towers, I found the staff friendly and knowledgable. I also found all the information I needed. They even had info on Singapore!
Very Friendly and patient staff. Lots of brochures and anything you need to ask to help you get around KL and the other tourist spots. The site itself is like a mini park. Must go before you even go around and sight see.
As a Tourist Information Complex, the MATIC is lacking in terms of architectural aesthetics and design issues. A more modern and contemporary look should be created to entice more tourist to visit this centre, especially at the entrance, where the outdated signage lays. The logo design is pretty much dated, representing a very 80's look and feel. Malaysia (KL, etc.) is a modern country with architectural marvels and natural wonders all around, and somehow MATIC does not reflect these attributes appropriately at one glance. It does contradicts the Malaysian brand and how it appears to the tourist in other countries.
