Strategically located in the heart of Melaka, a UNESCO World Heritage City renowned for its vibrant culture and history, Dusit Princess Melaka marks a significant milestone for Dusit as it enters the Malaysian market.

The hotel is also well-equipped for conferences and social gatherings, with state-of-the-art meeting facilities and a grand ballroom capable of hosting up to 1,000 guests, delivering a seamless and sophisticated setting for events of any scale.

For those seeking an immersive journey, the hotel's central location is a standout feature, offering unparalleled convenience for exploring Melaka's rich cultural heritage and historical attractions. The bustling business district and popular landmarks such as Dutch Square, St. Paul's Hill and Church, A'Famosa Fort, and Jonker Street Market are all within easy reach. Malacca International Airport is just a 17-minute drive away, while Kuala Lumpur International Airport can be reached in approximately one hour and 45 minutes by car.
