Dusit International has made a remarkable entry into the Malaysian market with the unveiling of Dusit Princess Melaka, a sophisticated property blending Thai-inspired gracious hospitality with the timeless allure of Melaka, a UNESCO World Heritage City. Positioned in the heart of this vibrant cultural hub, the hotel offers an elevated experience for discerning travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and connection to the city’s rich history.
Melaka, celebrated for its blend of heritage and health tourism, continues to rise as a global destination. By September 2024, the city had welcomed an impressive 10 million visitors, surpassing its annual target. With a significant portion of travellers arriving from key international markets like China and Singapore, Dusit Princess Melaka is ideally situated to cater to the needs of this growing audience.
Occupying the iconic former Ramada Plaza Melaka building, the 296-key hotel has been meticulously refurbished and reimagined to embody the contemporary elegance of the Dusit Princess brand. Guests can choose from well-appointed Deluxe rooms with panoramic city views or indulge in the luxurious Presidential Suite, each space thoughtfully designed with modern amenities and understated sophistication.
The property offers a host of leisure facilities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center and a stunning swimming pool. Culinary enthusiasts can savor diverse flavors at Zest, the hotel’s all-day dining venue offering bountiful buffet spreads, or enjoy authentic Chinese delicacies and signature dim sums at Long Feng, a beloved local institution.
For business and social gatherings, the hotel features cutting-edge meeting facilities and an opulent grand ballroom that can host up to 1,000 guests, making it a premier choice for conferences, weddings, and events.
A highlight of Dusit Princess Melaka is its enviable location. Guests are just moments away from iconic landmarks such as Dutch Square, St. Paul’s Hill, A’Famosa Fort, and the bustling Jonker Street Market. The hotel’s proximity to Malacca International Airport, a mere 17-minute drive, and Kuala Lumpur International Airport, approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away by car, ensures seamless connectivity for travelers.
“We are thrilled to introduce Dusit Princess Melaka, marking a significant milestone as we bring our unique brand of gracious Thai-inspired hospitality to Malaysia,” said Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer of Dusit International. “This opening is a testament to our commitment to delivering memorable experiences in the world’s most compelling destinations.
