Location
Cameron Highlands Resort – a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World – enjoys a central and strategically significant location in the Cameron Highlands, surrounded by many local attractions like strawberry farms, tea plantations and the well-known golf course directly opposite the hotel. Its proximity to Brinchang and Tanah Rata as well as its charming historical setting contribute to an overall convenient and appealing stay.
