Melaka just got a little more glamorous. Dusit Princess Melaka, the first Malaysian property from Thailand’s renowned Dusit International, has officially opened ushering in a new era of elevated hospitality in the heart of this historic city. With its chic design, Thai-inspired service, and prime location, this upscale hotel is set to become a new favorite for stylish travelers and savvy business guests alike.
Located in the heart of Melaka’s UNESCO World Heritage zone, the 296-room hotel blends contemporary elegance with local charm. Guests can soak in sweeping views of the city and the Straits of Melaka while enjoying five-star comforts, including the state’s deepest swimming pool, a 24-hour gym, and a trio of standout dining venues: Zest Restaurant, Long Feng Chinese Restaurant, and the lively Famosa Lounge.

But it’s not just about leisure.

With 774 square meters of space, full LED screen capabilities, and flexible layouts, it’s a game-changer for Melaka’s growing MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) scene.
The grand opening comes at a time of booming tourism for Melaka, which welcomed over 15 million visitors in 2024, a 74% jump from the previous year.
