DUSIT PRINCESS MELAKA CELEBRATES MALAYSIAN CHARM AND HERITAGE
Dusit Hotels and Resorts is set to embark on a new chapter in its journey, with the soft opening of Dusit Princess Melaka on 7 December 2024.
Dusit Princess Melaka marks the brand’s debut in Malaysia, and what better place to start than the UNESCO World Heritage city of Melaka, a city brimming with history, culture, and charm. Strategically located at the heart of this vibrant destination, the new property promises to be the perfect blend of traditional Thai-inspired hospitality and contemporary design, offering an ideal retreat for both business and leisure travellers.
A New Landmark in Melaka’s Expanding Tourism Scene
Melaka, located on the southwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, has long been a favourite destination for tourists thanks to its rich heritage and fascinating blend of historical influences. The city’s colonial architecture, colourful streets, bustling markets, and vibrant arts scene continue to draw visitors from all over the world.
In recent years, Melaka’s reputation has only grown, with the city’s tourism sector receiving a significant boost. By September 2024, the state had already welcomed 10 million visitors, surpassing its annual target of 8.7 million. With tourists flocking from regional hotspots like China and Singapore, Dusit Princess Melaka is perfectly positioned to cater to this expanding audience, offering a modern yet comfortable haven in the heart of the city.
A Contemporary Sanctuary with a Thai Twist
Dusit Princess Melaka occupies the former Ramada Plaza Melaka building, which has undergone a complete refurbishment to reflect the signature style and ethos of the Dusit Princess brand. Offering a more intimate yet upscale experience, Dusit Princess Melaka features 296 rooms, including spacious Deluxe rooms with views of the city skyline and a luxurious Presidential Suite. Each room is designed with contemporary furnishings, modern comforts, and thoughtful details, ensuring a restful and enriching stay for solo travellers, families, and business executives alike.
But what truly sets Dusit Princess Melaka apart is its dedication to offering a distinctive blend of local hospitality and Thai-inspired service. Guests can expect the signature “Dusit Graciousness” that the brand is known for, creating an inviting atmosphere where every guest feels like a cherished friend. Whether you’re here for a short stay or an extended visit, the hotel’s warm and welcoming service will make you feel right at home.
World-Class Amenities and Dining
No matter the reason for your visit, Dusit Princess Melaka offers an array of amenities designed for comfort and relaxation. For those looking to unwind, the hotel features a fully equipped gym for a revitalising workout, as well as a large swimming pool where you can take a refreshing dip after a long day of sightseeing or meetings.
Food lovers will find much to delight in at Dusit Princess Melaka’s diverse dining offerings. Zest, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, presents a sumptuous buffet spread that caters to all tastes, while Long Feng, a beloved local favourite, serves up authentic Chinese cuisine, including signature dim sum that has become a must-try in the city. Both restaurants promise to offer more than just a meal; they are experiences that celebrate the vibrant flavours of the region.
For business and social gatherings, Dusit Princess Melaka is also well-equipped with state-of-the-art meeting facilities. The hotel boasts a grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests, making it an ideal venue for conferences, weddings, and large social events. Whether you’re hosting a corporate meeting or celebrating a special occasion, the hotel’s sophisticated setting ensures a seamless experience, complemented by Dusit’s signature service.
A Prime Location for Exploring Melaka’s Heritage

Guests can easily walk to key historical landmarks such as Dutch Square, home to the iconic Christ Church and the Stadthuys, or take a short drive to St. Paul’s Hill and Church for panoramic views of the city.
