The hotel partners exclusively with award-winning local farmers, some of whom have clinched prestigious titles at the World Durian Championship, ensuring that only top-quality durians—like Musang King and Black Thorn—are served on-site. This partnership guarantees that guests enjoy an authentic, premium durian experience unlike anywhere else in the hospitality sector.
More Than Just a Hotel — A Cultural Destination
