2025-06-03

Melaka has a new reason to shine. Dusit Princess Melaka, the first Malaysian property by Thailand’s prestigious Dusit International, officially opened its doors on 29 May 2025. Set in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage City, the hotel marks a key milestone as the state prepares for UN Tourism 2025 and Visit Malaysia 2026.

This launch not only boosts the city’s hotel offerings, but also strengthens its status as a rising MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) destination in Southeast Asia. With over 15 million visitors in 2024, Melaka’s tourism sector is thriving, and Dusit Princess is perfectly positioned to meet the growing demand.

Where Modern Comfort Meets Cultural Soul

Ideally located in the vibrant city centre, Dusit Princess Melaka offers more than just a place to stay. Guests are treated to panoramic views of Melaka and the Straits of Melaka, alongside 296 rooms that reflect the elegance of modern design infused with Thai-inspired warmth.

Zest Restaurant: a dynamic all-day dining venue
Long Feng: showcasing refined Chinese cuisine
Famosa Lounge: a relaxed spot perfect for evening wind-downs

In addition, the hotel boasts one of the largest event spaces in the city, spanning 774 sq m. With flexible layouts and LED screen capabilities, it’s tailor-made for international conferences, grand weddings, and private celebrations.

Purpose-Built for Business, Designed for Culture

Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure, this hotel delivers a stay that is both functional and delightful. Guests can immerse themselves in curated local experiences that bring Melaka’s sights, flavours, and history to life adding depth and authenticity to every stay.
