Summary:

Kepler Club has more than doubled its KLIA capacity to 148 beds, introducing technologically advanced, fully private sleeping cabins for airport travellers.
The new DoubleKep cabins combine privacy, smart technology and space-efficient design, with app-based access, Bluetooth sound systems, personalised lighting and soundscapes, and automated check-in.
The expanded 24-hour facility enhances the airport passenger experience with hourly bookings, lounges, workspaces, showers, high-speed Wi-Fi and a showcase of Malaysian artists’ work.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has welcomed the opening of new technologically advanced sleeping cabins by Kepler Club. The expansion more than doubles Kepler Club’s capacity at KLIA, from 64 to 148 beds, and introduces a double-deck cabin design with fully private entrances for every guest. The configuration combines the intimacy of a hotel room with the space efficiency required in an airport environment. Each DoubleKep cabin features sound insulation, allowing guests to connect to the in-cabin sound system via Bluetooth and enjoy their favourite Spotify playlists in complete privacy.

Available 24 hours a day and bookable by the hour, the facility offers travellers private smart sleeping cabins, a lounge and working area, showers, smart toilets, lockers, high-speed WiFi, and unlimited refreshments. Check-in and check-out are fully automated through self-service kiosks, and guests can unlock their cabin doors directly from the Kepler app – eliminating the need for room keys, plastic key cards, or even a stop at reception to check-in. A 24-hour receptionist remains available for guests who prefer human assistance.

Through the Kepler membership platform launched in 2025, guests checking in via the app can personalise their stay by selecting a mood – Rainforest, Desert, Ocean, Mountain, or Fire – which sets the cabin’s lighting and soundscape on arrival and gently wakes the guest in the same mood before checkout. Additional sensory features are being rolled out progressively.

In a celebration of local culture, Kepler Club has also collaborated with Malaysian artists to design a selection of its cabins. Their original artworks are featured inside the cabins, displayed alongside the artists’ names – turning a rest stop into a small gallery of Malaysian creativity.

“The new KLIA facility reflects what we believe airport hospitality should become,” said Ömer Alaettinoğlu, Founder & CEO, 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.”
