Dusit Hotels and Resorts, the hotel arm of Dusit International, will open Dusit Princess Ipoh in Malaysia’s Perak state on October 1, 2026, marking the brand’s arrival in Ipoh with 268 rooms and a range of leisure, dining and events facilities.
The hotel, owned by
Plenitude Berhad, is located beside the Perak Turf Club and less than five
minutes by car from Ipoh city centre.
Sultan Azlan Shah
Airport is around 10 minutes away and offers direct flights from Singapore.
The property will
cater to leisure and business travellers, families and longer-stay guests, with
accommodation ranging from 25-square-metre Superior Rooms to 58-square-metre
Family Suites. Family rooms and suites feature kitchenettes.
Facilities include an
outdoor swimming pool, Kids Club, self-service laundry, prayer room and a
6,580-square-foot fitness centre.
The Atrium, the
hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, will serve local, regional and international
dishes, including Ipoh favourites such as nasi lemak, roti canai, kway teow
goreng and dim sum.
The hotel will also
offer around 964 square metres of event space across three venues.
The 496.8-square-metre Kinta Ballroom can
accommodate up to 400 guests theatre-style.
“With accommodation
and facilities designed to meet the needs of leisure travellers, families,
business guests, government delegations, and event groups, Dusit Princess Ipoh
represents a compelling opportunity to introduce the welcoming character of the
Dusit Princess brand to a city with such a strong identity and well-established
appeal,” said Mr Chanin Donavanik, Group Chief Executive Officer, Dusit
International. “Perak welcomed 23.6 million domestic visitors in 2025, making
it one of Malaysia’s three most visited states. This strong demand, together
with Ipoh’s convenient access from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, gives the city
considerable potential to attract more international visitors. Working with
Plenitude Berhad, we are building on the strengths of an established property
to support that growth while helping guests connect more deeply with the
destination.”
Madam Elsie Chua,
Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Plenitude Berhad, said, “Dusit Princess
Ipoh marks a new chapter for this established property and for Plenitude’s
hospitality portfolio. Building on the property’s longstanding presence in
Ipoh, we are delighted to bring the distinctive warmth of Thai-inspired
gracious hospitality to the city through a recognised international brand,
while embracing the character, culture, and local flavours that make Ipoh
unique. We look forward to creating a welcoming gateway for guests to
experience Ipoh – combining the qualities and standards associated with the
Dusit Princess brand with the authentic spirit of the destination.”
The hotel will also offer its Discover the Soul of Ipoh programme, featuring heritage walks, food trails, nature excursions, pottery workshops and family activities. -TTN
