Jakarta-based Archipelago opens Malaysia's first Quest Hotel in Port Dickson
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's hotel sector celebrates another major milestone today with the official opening of Quest Hotel Midport Port Dickson, the country's first-ever Quest Hotel by Jakarta-based Archipelago International.
This opening represents a key step in Archipelago's ongoing regional growth strategy. The group, which signed a 700-room management contract for the Port Dickson development back in 2018, brings its renowned Quest Hotel brand to Malaysian shores for the very first time.
Originally scheduled to open in mid-2019, the hotel is now welcoming guests with 413 rooms and suites and features Port Dickson's largest convention centre along with a waterpark.
The opening of the hotel is part of a broader vision for the Malaysia Vision Valley masterplan, an ambitious integrated development blueprint that aims to drive economic growth, enhance social wellbeing, and safeguard the natural environment in the region.
Long favoured for its beaches, Port Dickson remains one of Malaysia's top seaside destinations, offering visitors a mix of pristine coastline, family-friendly attractions, and recreational activities. The arrival of a major international hotel brand is set to strengthen the town's appeal as a prime getaway for both domestic and foreign tourists.
"Quest Hotel Midport Port Dickson marks a significant milestone in our expansion in Malaysia. We aim to provide a comfortable stay experience for both families and business travellers. Our goal is to deliver the high service standards that Archipelago is known for," said John Flood, chief executive officer of Archipelago.
With a portfolio spanning more than 45,000 rooms and residences in over 300 hotels across Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Oceania, Archipelago continues to expand its footprint, bringing its trusted brands to new markets while delivering consistent value and quality hospitality.
