During a recent visit to Penang, I stayed at heritage boutique hotels and wondered if Ipoh had something similar. Ban Loong Hotel, a 102-year-old building (built 1915), now offers heritage boutique accommodation with character.

The hotel has four going on five generations of Loh Family history. In 2015, the family decided to convert the building in the heart of Ipoh Old Town into a boutique hotel to meet the demand for accommodations in the area.

Restoration & Architecture:

  • Restoration took about two years, with significant investment of time, money, and careful planning.

  • A new steel framework was erected within the pre-war shop, with a raft foundation to preserve the heritage zone.

  • The hotel combines old and new, full of character in every corner.

There are only nine rooms/suites, providing a cosy, warm stay.
