Dusit Hotels and Resorts, the hotel arm of Dusit International, will open Dusit Princess Ipoh on 1 October 2026 in Ipoh, the capital of Malaysia’s Perak state.
The 268-room hotel is owned by Plenitude Berhad, a Bursa Malaysia-listed group with interests in property development, property investment, and hospitality.
Dusit Princess Ipoh Location
Ipoh is approximately 200 km north of Kuala Lumpur. The city grew rapidly during the late-19th-century tin-mining boom, becoming an important commercial hub.
Today, Ipoh’s historic centre includes colonial-era shophouses, traditional kopitiams, and small local businesses. Together, they retain much of the character associated with the city’s past.
Food is another part of Ipoh’s appeal. The city is known for its dim sum restaurants and Ipoh white coffee, traditionally made using beans roasted with margarine.
Beyond the city centre, the Kinta Valley is known for its limestone formations and cave temples. These attractions allow visitors to combine cultural visits with nature excursions and outdoor activities.
The hotel is located beside the Perak Turf Club, a long-established thoroughbred racing venue. Ipoh city centre is less than five minutes away by car.
Sultan Azlan Shah Airport is approximately 10 minutes from the hotel and offers direct flights from Singapore.
Rooms and Facilities
Dusit Princess Ipoh will offer five room categories, ranging from 25 sq m Superior Rooms to 58 sq m Family Suites.
Rooms overlook either the Perak Turf Club or Ipoh’s city skyline. Facilities include high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, quality bedding, in-room safes, and dedicated workspaces.
Family Rooms and Family Suites also feature kitchenettes. The setup is designed to provide additional flexibility for families and guests staying for longer periods.
Hotel facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, Kids Club, self-service laundry, accessible rooms, and a prayer room. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi will be available throughout the property.
There is also a 6,580 sq ft fitness centre with a range of workout facilities and extended opening hours.
Dining at Dusit Princess Ipoh
The Atrium is the hotel’s naturally lit, all-day dining restaurant. It overlooks Ipoh’s limestone hills and cityscape.
Breakfast will include local and regional dishes such as nasi lemak, roti canai, kway teow goreng, and dim sum, alongside continental options.
Local and international dishes will also be available throughout the day.
Meanwhile, the lobby coffee shop will serve speciality teas, coffees, and juices, together with pastries and desserts.
Meetings and Events
Dusit Princess Ipoh will offer approximately 964 sq m of event space across three venues for meetings, conferences, weddings, and social events.
The main venue is the 496.8 sq m Kinta Ballroom. It can accommodate up to 400 guests in theatre-style seating or 300 guests for round-table events.
The ballroom features an LED screen, dynamic sound system, and adjustable lighting.
For smaller gatherings, the hotel will also offer the 383 sq m Kampar Hall and 84 sq m Gopeng Room.
Dusit International and Plenitude Berhad Statements
“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.”

For guests looking to explore beyond the city centre, the hotel’s Discover the Soul of Ipoh programme includes locally led activities covering heritage, food, nature, well-being, and family experiences.
