Royale treatment in Pekan awaits
ANCASA Hotels & Resorts recently announced the debut of the Ancasa brand in Pahang Darul Makmur with the soon-tobe launched Ancasa Royale River Resort & Spa in Pekan, in the last quarter of this year.
Located on the riverfront of the serene Pahang River and a few kilometres from the rustic royal town of Pekan, the resort boasts 133 rooms, offering global travellers, families and honeymooners the best of resort amenities.
“Pekan is set to be the next preferred destination for city dwellers who want a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
“Being the only four-star hotel in town, we are confident that we will be well accepted once operations begin,” said resort general manager Barry Yaxley.
Among the well-appointed Deluxe rooms are the luxurious Royale Suite and Deluxe Royale Suite, each of which is fit for a king.
Facilities include swimming pools for adults and children, spacious gymnasium, ballroom and meeting rooms fitted with state-of-the-art facilities, children’s playground, souvenir shop, business centre, an all-day dining restaurant, a lounge and a Japanese restaurant.
“Our Japanese restaurant will definitely be a crowd-puller, especially among the expatriate community involved in the automotive industry in Pekan and Kuantan, while our spa facility will provide an avenue for the wellness of body, mind and soul,” added Yaxley.
Ancasa Spa will also open its third spa in the resort, offering a myriad of rejuvenating treatments.
“The resort will also showcase a gallery dedicated to Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, Malaysia’s second Prime Minister, who was a native of Pekan,” said Yaxley, who has more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry.
Ancasa Hotels & Resorts is managed by UDA Ancasa Sdn Bhd, a local hotel management company owned by UDA Holdings Berhad (UDA). While its flagship property in Kuala Lumpur, namely Ancasa Hotel & Spa, continues to reign as one of the top four-star hotels in the city, its other hotels in Port Dickson and Penang are enjoying better occupancy.
The Ancasa Express brand, which boasts three different yet equally enchanting holiday destinations in the budget category – Ancasa Express @ Pudu, Kuala Lumpur; An-NurAncasa Express @ Georgetown, Penang; and Ancasa Express @ Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu – has been well received by local and foreign tourists alike.
More than just a local hotel group, Ancasa Hotels & Resorts is committed to providing guests with “a home away from home”.
