Best Hotels For Your Cameron Highlands Getaway

1. Cameron Highlands Resort

Endearingly known as a 'little piece of England in Asia', Cameron Highlands Resort is an extension of a 1930s cottage with architecture that dates back to the 1070s! This 5-star resort promises splendor and nostalgia with a tinge of romance with its traditional English charm, picturesque setting, and elegant interiors.

The 56 luxuriously-appointed rooms and spacious suites at Cameron Highlands Resort assure a good night's sleep on large four-poster beds with breathtaking views right outside your window. The resort also offers views of an 18-hole golf course, so if you're a golfer, make sure you pack your clubs for a swing!

• Address: Cameron Highlands, Pahang, 39000 Tanah Rata.

2. The Lakehouse

Also inspired by English heritage, The Lakehouse is another classic accommodation in Cameron Highlands. This charming colonial-style boutique hotel is set on beautiful garden grounds and houses stylish rooms and suites featuring antique decor.

There's also plenty of spaces at The Lakehouse for guests to sit back and relax - you can enjoy some authentic British cuisine at the hotel pub, unwind by the fireplace in the reading lounge, or watch the day go by over afternoon tea at the outdoor terrace. The Lakehouse is perfect for intimate getaways - as there are only 19 rooms at the hotel, it definitely promises a certain level of privacy and exclusivity for couples!

• Address: 30th Mile, Jalan Ringlet - Sungai Koyan, Sungai Khazanah, 39000 Ringlet, Pahang.

3. The Smokehouse Hotel

We promise this one's the last English Tudor-style hotel on this list! Built in 1939, The Smokehouse Hotel is another legendary accommodation in Cameron Highlands. Besides its cosy rooms, The Smokehouse Hotel is also known for its award-winning garden and popular afternoon tea! Make sure to make time for a relaxing garden stroll after nibbling on some freshly-baked homemade scones paired with fresh strawberry jam, hand-churned cream, and fine tea.

The hotel restaurant also serves up a variety of traditional British cuisine (known as some of the finest in Cameron Highlands) such as beef wellington, steaks, fish and chips, and more. Even if you don't spend a night here, we'd still recommend popping by for a meal during your trip!

4. Nova Highlands Hotel

Nova Highlands Hotel consists of modern suites located 5,300 feet above sea level, the highest point on the mainland. Choose from a variety of suites that can accommodate small to big groups - you can even book a spacious Sky-Garden Penthouse that can fit up to 8 guests and offers panoramic hill views from a private balcony!

The hotel's location is definitely one of its strengths, in fact, Nova Highlands Hotel offers guests direct access to the 3-level Cameron Square shopping arcade, multi-level parking spaces, and is within close vicinity to popular attractions such as the Bee Farm, Butterfly Farm, Cactus Valley, Tea House, Kea Farm fresh vegetable market square, and the Sg. Palas BOH Tea Plantation.

The hotel is also conveniently located in the Tanah Rata area and is within walking distance to many nice cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and more.

6. 10 Mentigi Guesthouse

Compared to many vintage hotels in the vicinity, 10 Mentigi is a fairly new guest house in Cameron Highlands. Strategically located within an easy stroll to the Tanah Rata town centre (5 minutes walking distance to restaurants and cafes in town!), 10 Mentigi offers cosy, minimalist, and spacious rooms with reasonable rates.

You can even book a family suite that comes with a double bed and 4 bunk beds if you're travelling with friends or family! All rooms at the hotel come with premium latex mattresses and smart TVs, promising a well-deserved rest during your holiday.

With a Victorian-inspired theme, Zetter Suites seamlessly combines both comfort and luxury in one space. While it isn't a hotel, the property offers hotel-like amenities and 60 elegantly-furnished units that are ideal for all groups - friends, family, or couples.

The apartment units here even come with a cosy seating area and a fully-equipped kitchenette where you can fix meals at if you're not in the mood to eat out. Pssst, the Cameron Highlands night market that happens every Friday till Sunday is right at Zetter Suites' doorstep! Head down to shop for everything from fresh crops to fruits, flowers, snacks, and colourful souvenirs.

8. Heahtitude by Heahtitude Hotels

Heatitude is a true hidden gem in Cameron Highlands! Surrounded by nature and located just 1.5KM from the Cameron Valley Tea Plantation, Heahtitude is a laid-back local guesthouse that oozes rustic charm. Guests will get to enjoy activities in and around Cameron Highlands such as cycling, hiking, a Mossy Forest excursion, and more.

The guest rooms here are also fitted with a shared lounge, a fully-equipped kitchen, and an open-air riverside patio that's perfect for unwinding at after a long day. Heahtitude is located in a quieter side of Cameron Highlands, which gives it a peaceful vibe that's hard to find elsewhere. Do note though that the guesthouse is a short drive from the town, so if you'd much prefer convenience, we'd recommend booking one of the hotels in town instead.

9. Traveller Bunker Hostel

Travelling on a budget? You'll be surprised that there are actually plenty of affordable accommodation options at Cameron Highlands! One such is the Traveller Bunker Hostel, a no-frills yet highly-rated hostel with cosy bunk beds.
