In a delicious celebration of local culture and hospitality innovation, Bangi Resort Hotel has officially been recognized by ASEAN Records as the First Durian Friendly Hotel and Resort, a distinction it has proudly held since 2018.
The recognition was presented during the Bangi Bridges Networking Event held at the Tee Off Lounge on 13 June 2025, attended by hospitality leaders, guests, media, and ASEAN Records representatives. The event featured an interactive Durian Challenge, pre-dinner networking, and a durian party celebrating the King of Fruits in signature Bangi style.

Pioneering Hospitality with a Local Twist
Bangi Resort Hotel made history by becoming the first hotel in the region to officially allow durian consumption on its premises, offering a dedicated space where guests can savor fresh durian in comfort, without concern. This innovative approach caters to both domestic and international guests who want to indulge in the iconic fruit without compromising on convenience or hotel experience.
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
“Being durian-friendly is not just a gimmick—it’s our way of celebrating Malaysia’s rich culinary heritage and offering guests a truly memorable stay,” said Mr Soh Chung-Ky, Executive Director, Bangi Resort Hotel.

By championing local agriculture, promoting food tourism, and creating welcoming spaces for cultural appreciation, Bangi Resort Hotel has successfully elevated the traditional hotel experience into a flavorful celebration of Malaysian identity.
