Pavilion Bukit Jalil, or colloquially known as Pavilion 2, is a shopping mall in the affluent suburb of Bukit Jalil located to the south of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.^[2]

Overview

It is the second mall under the "Pavilion" brand, following the concept of its Pavilion Kuala Lumpur mall in Bukit Bintang.
