Location

The station is situated in and named after the district of Imbi, directly over Jalan Imbi (English: Imbi Road) beside the northeast tip of the Berjaya Times Square shopping center and just east of Plaza Berjaya. Berjaya Times Square was opened two months after the station began operation. The station features a total of five exits: Two exits towards the west of the station lead into Berjaya Times Square and Plaza Berjaya on the opposite side of the road, while the remaining two exits lead eastward onto both sides of Jalan Imbi.
The station is one of four KL Monorail stations that serves the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle locality, the other three being Raja Chulan, the Bukit Bintang and Hang Tuah stations.
The Imbi Monorail station is also within a close range of several more shopping centers near Bukit Bintang, including Low Yat Plaza, Imbi Plaza, Sungei Wang Plaza, and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Because of its location, the station receives a high number of passengers during peak hours and non-working days, although there is no bus connection to this station.
