The LRT station is close to Citibank's Malaysian headquarters, as well as the US Embassy, the Singapore High Commission, the Canadian High Commission, and the British High Commission which are all located in the area of Jalan Tun Razak, known as "Embassy Row". It named after and located beside the former site of the first Malaysian shopping centre, Ampang Park Shopping Centre.
This LRT station, despite sharing the same name, is not integrated and not to be confused with the separate Ampang Park MRT station, which is serviced by the MRT Putrajaya Line instead. Paid zone-to-paid zone integration was once proposed but not constructed at the moment. Passengers are required to tap out from one station, exit the station at ground level and walk along a covered walkway to the entrance of the other station to transfer between the lines.
