Sama-Sama Hotel KLIA can host international conferences, seminars, exhibitions, gala dinners and weddings in a Grand Ballroom and 12 function rooms, with 442 rooms and suites for delegates on the same site. The hotel stands at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, in the state of Selangor, and is linked to Terminal 1 by a covered skybridge.
Seminars and company events
The event space totals 30,591 square feet. It is organized around a Grand Ballroom, 12 function rooms and a large foyer that serves for registration, coffee breaks and exhibition stands. Every venue has audiovisual equipment and high-speed internet. The hotel positions itself for international conferences and regional meetings: delegates fly in, walk across the skybridge and reach the meeting rooms without a road transfer, which saves half a day on short programs.
For smaller formats, Equator is a contemporary venue inside the hotel with an open kitchen and a Chef's Table, suited to product launches, private dinners and small gatherings. Atrium Alfresco is an open-air space for cocktails and receptions.
The sales and events team works with organizers on room plans and capacities, and the hotel publishes a capacity chart and floor plans of its meeting rooms.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts weddings from intimate ceremonies to large celebrations, with views over the airport and its runways. The Grand Ballroom serves the larger receptions, and Equator or Atrium Alfresco work for smaller ones.

Getting there
Terminal 1 of KLIA is reached on foot or by a free buggy that runs around the clock along the covered skybridge, with a pick-up on level 2 of the main terminal. Terminal 2 is also within easy transfer. The KLIA Express train reaches KL Sentral in central Kuala Lumpur in about 28 minutes, which makes the hotel practical for groups that combine an airport conference with time in the city.
