"Best Western Premier the Haven Ipoh", The Most Amazing Hidden Luxury Resort in Ipoh (Malaysia)


The Haven's centerpiece is an iconic 14-storey high 280-million-year-old limestone 


The Best Western  Premier The Haven Ipoh is Perak's tallest and most luxurious resort Condotel where you can live by the forest and in the city at the same time. The hotel's ecological standards are as impressive as the surrounding landscape properties in Malaysia to use 100 percent renewable energy and all within a sustainable budget. And, among the 150 suites they offer, it was their 2+1 Bedroom Lakeview Standard, we chose to stay that only cost MYR800+ (USD$190) per room per night.

From our amazing trip to Pangkor Laut Resort (click here), we traveled to Ipoh which only took us 2 hours in travel time.  Ipoh is known as the best vacation and retirement location in Malaysia. It is almost equidistant between Kuala Lumpur and Penang. The Haven https://www.thehavenresorts.com/ is set in nature, amidst the flora and fauna of an old prehistoric site dating over 280 million years; yet it embodies all the conveniences of city living. The location is just 5 minutes after exiting from the North-South Highway along a straight Tambun Road to the Haven. This habitat is ideal for de-stressing or unwinding and is a real have for nature lovers. As we arrived at this beautiful resort, we were so surprised to see how amazing their 14-story high, 280-million-year-old Limestone. Upon arrival, only after 5 minutes, we were ready for check-in.

After our nice breakfast and settling in our room, we went out to enjoy and explore some of the most famous tourist attractions in Ipoh Malaysia like Wall Art of Mural (Ipoh Old Town), Kek Look Tong Temple, and Concubine Lane. And, also tried their most delicious Egg Tart and White coffee or Cappuccino, where Ipoh is most famous for.

In the evening, we had our dinner again at the Cuisine restaurant back to the hotel. And, the next day, we left early in the morning to catch the KTM Train http://www.ktmb.com.my/ for our 5am schedule (since that's only available schedule on that day), which took us only 2 hours & 30 mins. from Ipoh to KL Sentral. However, if you want to take KTM Train going back to KL Sentral, just make it sure that before you will come to Ipoh, you already bought the ticket as their seats sell fast easily. 

After 3days/2nights stay at Best Western Premier The Haven Ipoh, as a Family, we really enjoyed our stay here so, if you are looking for the Best Hotel to Stay in when you visit and explore Ipoh Malaysia, I highly recommend this hotel.
