Dusit Hotels and Resorts will open the upper-midscale Dusit Princess Ipoh in Malaysia’s Perak state capital on 1 October.
Set beside Perak Turf Club, a long-established centre for thoroughbred racing, the 268-room hotel is less than five minutes by car from Ipoh city centre. Sultan Azlan Shah Airport is about 10 minutes away and offers direct flights from Singapore.
The hotel offers five room categories, ranging from 25sqm Superior Rooms to 58sqm Family Suites. Rooms overlook either Perak Turf Club or the city skyline and feature high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, quality bedding, in-room safes and dedicated workspaces.
Family Rooms and Family Suites include kitchenettes, catering to longer-stay guests and those travelling with children. The property is Dusit’s third branded hotel in Malaysia.
Leisure and events
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, Kids’ Club, self-service laundry, accessible rooms, all-day dining, a prayer room and a 611sqm fitness centre.
For meetings, conferences, weddings and social occasions, the hotel offers three flexible venues with approximately 964sqm of event space. Its main Kinta Ballroom can host up to 400 guests in theatre style or 300 guests for round-table events.
Chanin Donavanik, group CEO, Dusit International, said: “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.”
Exploring Ipoh beyond the hotel
The hotel’s Discover the Soul of Ipoh programme brings together locally led activities spanning heritage, food, nature, well-being and family experiences.
Highlights include photography walks through Ipoh’s heritage streets; visits to Tambun pomelo orchards and limestone cave temples; food trails featuring Ipoh white coffee and traditional desserts; and workshops in Labu Sayong pottery, a traditional Perak craft. Family cooking classes and evening wildlife adventures are also available.
