The lakehouse

A Heritage of Malaysia's colonial past this hotel is actually reminiscent of a Tudor mansion from Shakespeare country, this 18 room "olde world" charm standing majestically on a hill, backed by state reserve forests is the only hotel in the highlands to afford spectacular views over the Sultan Abu Bakar lake.

You'll also get very personalised service at this hotel, such as having the staff remember your name, and addressing you by your name throughout your stay. You get to eat at the restuarant, bill to your room, without having to prove your identity.

The rooms come with a poster bed, if that is your thing.

There's also a fireplace at the lounge area though deforestation has made Cameron Highlands alot less cold than it used to be.

The hotel is located at the lower side of Cameron Highlands. So it is further away from most of the attractions and shops. The lower altitude also mean it is warmer there and less refreshingly cool as the higher regions.
